  • People following a low-carb nutritional protocol have reported better results then slgt2/glp1 inhibitors alone, especially when considering muscle wasting (a ketogenic intervention usually gains muscle)

    I agree that carbs aren’t great, but they do have their place and can be vital to overcoming diabetes in some patients.

    The muscle loss is thought to be due to nutritional deficits rather then the drugs themselves. Since you said your eating a balanced diet - does that mean your getting 2g per kg of ideal body weight complete (ASF or high DIAAS) protein per day?

    Probably not to be honest. I’m struggling to get enough protein.

    the carbohydrate model of obesity has more clinical impact.

    What is this?

    I can send over the paper if you want the details

    Please do

    Are you measuring your muscle over time? With a inbody scale, or dexa scan? That can be helpful

    I haven’t. I’ve never even heard of a dexa scale.

    As far as I’m aware a low carbohydrate diet can be combined with the drugs

    I think, especially in a cooler climate such as the UK, low carbs makes sense as your body doesn’t have the sun to burn through the carbs (and starch) as efficiently.

    Sauna use has been associated with muscle retention in people who don’t exercise, this is wild speculation on my part, but the slgt2/glp1 drug muscle loss may be attenuated by frequent sauna use - if you have it available

    I’ve actually been thinking about visiting a sauna, so this is timely advice, thank you.
