Taking Reta. Lost about 7lbs of muscle in 2 months
I’ve been taking Reta since November and doing Dexa scans regularly to monitor my body fat and muscle. From my understanding losing muscle mass is the biggest concern when taking any GLP-1s. I’ve lost about 40 lbs (from 220 to 180). While the first 25 lbs I lost my scan results showed little muscle loss my latest results (difference between two months) show I lost 15lbs and 7lb of which are muscle loss. Current dosage is about 8.5mg of Reta a week. I have been lifting more than ever during this period and have been getting at least 150 grams of protein a day.
While I know muscle loss is expected and Dexa scans are not perfect is there anything I can do to prevent further loss or am I doing something wrong?
