Weight-Loss Drugs: Risk, Results & Recovery
Today, everyone seems to be taking a GLP-1 medication to lose weight. The majority of people regain much of the weight they lost because of calorie restriction, muscle loss, and metabolic slowdown. After stopping a GLP-1, the goal shifts from rapid weight loss to metabolic restoration. Prolonged calorie restriction often leads to muscle loss, slowed metabolism, and disrupted gut balance—making weight regain highly likely. Rebuilding lean muscle, stabilizing metabolism, and fueling your body with real food—rather than starving it—is essential during and after GLP-1 treatment. Protecting heart muscle integrity is especially critical because damage is largely permanent.
