The Truth About Semaglutides: What You MUST Know Before Starting

Have you heard about semaglutides? Originally designed to control diabetes, they've gained popularity for helping patients lose weight. But there's a significant downside you need to know.

Many patients are losing 10-30% of their muscle mass—a condition called sarcopenia. This level of muscle loss typically happens over 15-20 years of natural aging, but with these medications, it’s happening much faster.

The bigger issue? When patients stop the medication, they often regain weight, primarily as fat. This leads to a higher fat-to-muscle ratio, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes and making it even harder to control.

If you're considering semaglutides for weight loss, here’s what you need to do:

Commit to lifestyle changes. Without this, the medication's benefits are short-lived.
Prioritize nutrition. Take multivitamins and make sure you’re getting enough protein. Many people lose their appetite for meat, leading to malnourishment.
Incorporate strength training. Keeping your muscle mass is critical to avoid long-term health issues, especially if you're considering surgery.
This medication can be a helpful tool, but only if you take the necessary steps to maintain your health. Don’t let it become a quick fix with long-term consequences.
