How To Avoid Muscle Loss On Wegovy?

To avoid muscle loss on Wegovy, eat enough protein, train against resistance two to four times a week, and do not lose weight too fast. Aim for 1.6 to 2.0 grams of protein per kilogram of your goal weight and lift regularly. That protects most of your muscle while the fat comes off.

Wegovy works by cutting your appetite, so the risk is eating too little to feed your muscle. Beat that by putting protein first at every meal and spreading it across the day, around 30 to 40 grams a meal.

Lifting is the other half. Protein gives your body the material to hold muscle. Resistance training tells it to keep that muscle rather than break it down. Two to four short sessions a week is enough, and you can do it at home.

Watch your pace too. The faster you lose weight, the more muscle goes with it. If you are dropping more than about one percent of your body weight a week, talk to your prescriber.
