Yeah muscle loss hasn’t been a problem for me. I can do more pull-ups, push-ups and hike longer and faster than when I started. Progress was really slow with a significant calorie deficit.
I’m trying a much lower dose now to see if I can build muscle without rapidly regaining the weight.
Separately, I’m just really bad at dealing with the complexity of weights. I’m going to see if Crossfit helps this week.
Are you also lifting weights? I’m quite confident that you can gain muscle while taking retatrutide if you lift weights.
IIRC GLP-1 agonists cause more muscle loss than “old-fashioned” dieting, but the effect of resistance training far outweighs the extra muscle loss.
