Who Should Not Take GLP-1 Medication
Persistence matters
Clinical and meta-analytic data indicate that, although FBM reduction predominates, modest decreases in LBM can occur, particularly during substantial weight loss [17, 18]
These studies also indicate beneficial effects on lipid metabolism and liver fat reduction
Nutrient-dense whole foods support metabolic health, provide essential micronutrients for body processes during rapid weight loss, and help manage the gastrointestinal side effects that sometimes accompany GLP-1 therapy
