Do you have a view on the Ozempic craze? Because I'm hearing people are losing muscle as well as fat.
So if you design a diet that does not involve resistance training and is not optimized for protein, you are going to lose muscle. A poorly designed diet will be anywhere from 25 to 40% muscle loss. Wow. It's not the Ozempic doing it.
So you're not against Ozempic, you're just against people like, you eating and exercising the wrong way while on it.
I'm against anyone going on a diet the wrong way. Right. Because of the devastation that it does to your metabolism.
