GLP-1 and muscle losss. . .And What You Can Do About It — The RxD Way:
GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy have taken the weight loss world by storm. They suppress appetite, slow digestion, and promote fast fat loss. But here’s the thing no one is talking about: that rapid weight loss often comes at the expense of something far more valuable than just body fat—your muscle.
At Results by Design Fitness, we believe in sustainable transformation. That means building a body that’s not only leaner—but stronger, healthier, and more resilient. Let’s break this down the RxD way.
What Really Happens When You Lose Weight Too Fast
Most people stepping on the scale after starting a GLP-1 see the number drop quickly—and feel like they’re winning. But what that scale isn’t telling you is that 40–60% of that loss may be muscle.
Muscle isn’t just for looks. It’s your body’s metabolic engine. It supports your strength, your energy levels, your hormonal balance, and your ability to keep fat off long-term. When you lose muscle, you burn fewer calories at rest. And once that medication stops, the body is primed to regain weight fast.
Why Muscle is the Secret to Lasting Results
Muscle mass directly influences your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)—aka how many calories your body burns doing absolutely nothing. The more muscle you carry, the more calories your body uses every single day.
Lose muscle, and your calorie needs drop. That means eating the same amount of food post-medication will likely lead to weight gain. That’s not a discipline issue. It’s a metabolism issue. It’s science. But we can fix it.
The RxD Difference: From Skinny to Strong
At RxD, we don’t just help you lose weight. We help you reclaim your strength. We train the body as one unit with a mix of metabolic workouts and full-body resistance training—designed to preserve and build muscle, especially during fat loss phases.
Here’s a real-life example:
Meet Jane.
Jane lost over 60 pounds using Ozempic. But she came to us knowing something was missing—Her strength. Her energy. Her confidence in keeping the weight off. She needed help to take back what she had lost, and in turn, take back her life.
After transitioning off the GLP-1 medication and into our program, Jane gained 2.2 pounds of muscle and less than 1% body fat. Her Basal Metabolic Rate increased by 50 calories a day.
Translation: her body now burns more just by existing. And she’s no longer dependent on a prescription to stay lean.
That’s what real progress looks like.
