Protect your muscle on GLP-1
Lose fat — not muscle, your shape, or your strength. The “Ozempic face” everyone fears is largely muscle loss, and a little protein and gentle movement prevents it.
When you lose weight quickly, some of it can come from muscle — and that’s what leaves people looking gaunt or feeling weak. The fix isn’t a gym membership. It’s enough protein and about ten gentle minutes of movement, a few times a week.

Start gentle
Ten minutes is enough
You don’t need to exhaust yourself. Short, gentle resistance — a few sit-to-stands, a wall push-up, a daily walk — tells your body to keep its muscle.
Pair it with protein and you protect your strength, your energy, and your shape while the fat comes off.

Common questions
Muscle & movement FAQ
You can reduce the risk by eating enough protein and doing gentle resistance movement consistently.
Gentle strength movement beats lots of cardio for keeping muscle. Even 10 minutes a few times a week makes a difference.
Start tiny: a short walk, a few chair sit-to-stands, or wall push-ups. Consistency matters more than intensity.
