Abstract
Many patients using GLP-1 receptor agonists for weight loss or diabetes management experience a reduction in both fat and muscle mass. While weight loss can have significant metabolic benefits, the accompanying loss of muscle mass can lead to decreased strength, functional impairment, and long-term health risks. This project aims to address this gap by providing accessible, evidence-based resources to help patients maintain muscle mass through targeted nutrition and resistance exercise strategies.
