Why it works

Lose the fat, not the muscle

Weight lost on GLP-1 medication can include a significant share of lean muscle. People also tend to move less when their appetite drops, which is exactly when protecting muscle matters most.

This programme puts progressive strength training first, supports it with protein-focused eating that works with a smaller appetite, and tracks body composition so you see muscle kept, not just weight lost.

This is fitness guidance, not medical advice. Massimo isn't a doctor and doesn't advise on medication. Always follow your prescriber's guidance.
