    The Truth Behind Weight Loss Drugs

    Miglior citazione da The Truth Behind Weight Loss Drugs

    “

    When you lose weight through calorie restriction or these GLP-1 drugs, about 25% of what you're losing isn't fat—it's muscle. When you lose muscle, your metabolism slows down permanently, and when you inevitably regain weight, it comes back almost entirely as fat.
