GLP MAXX

Lose fat, not muscle on Ozempic , Wegovy - (semaglutide), Mounjaro & Zepbound - (tirzepatide). Protein. Lifting. Free tools for GLP-1 users.

Two people. Same drug. Same pounds lost. One looks jacked. One looks deflated. The medication makes the deficit. Your protein + lifting decide the after photo. How to read any viral GLP-1 transformation 👇

@PROGENEX 30g is the right floor. The wrinkle on GLP-1 is that the number of eating occasions collapses - three meals quietly becomes one and a half. Hitting 30g twice instead of four times is where most of the gap opens up, not the per-meal number.

[GLP MAXX @GLPMAXX]

@agingroy Right, and the water/glycogen share of that is front-loaded, which is why the lean number looks worst in the early months. The part that isn't water is the part that doesn't come back on its own. That's what the protein and lifting are actually hedging.

[GLP MAXX @GLPMAXX]

@blindeyescold @newstart_2024 @fluffyguy @ClubShayShay Then you're set up better than most - training base already there before the deficit started. One thing worth watching: top sets stalling 2-3 weeks straight while the scale keeps dropping. That shows up before you feel anything.

[GLP MAXX @GLPMAXX]

@LizHighleyman @drmikehart @DrNadolsky Useful data point — you're titrating against two endpoints that don't share a threshold. Food noise held at 0.6; the joint effect didn't.

Worth logging them separately rather than treating "lowest effective dose" as one number.

[GLP MAXX @GLPMAXX]

@newstart_2024 @fluffyguy @ClubShayShay "Watched his shoulders disappear" is the honest part nobody puts in the before/after.

Appetite going quiet is the drug working. Losing the shoulders is the deficit with no protein floor and nothing asking the muscle to stay. Same five months, two very different outcomes.

[GLP MAXX @GLPMAXX]

@blindeyescold @newstart_2024 @fluffyguy @ClubShayShay You're already doing the two things that decide how this ends.

One thing worth watching: 25 lb in a month is quick. Track your working weights alongside the scale — if the lifts hold, the loss is mostly fat. If they start sliding, it isn't.

[GLP MAXX @GLPMAXX]

@PROGENEX The 9.7% is what a deficit does when resistance training isn't part of the protocol — it doesn't get to choose which tissue it takes.

Protein floor and compound lifts are the only levers that move that ratio, and neither one comes with the prescription.

[GLP MAXX @GLPMAXX]

The practical version:

• Eat carbs first — never drink on an empty stomach
• Start with half a drink, wait a full hour
• Assume your tolerance has reset

These meds slow how fast your stomach empties into the small intestine — which is where alcohol is absorbed.

Onset is delayed, then the valve releases a more concentrated load. It arrives later, then hits harder than it used to.

[GLP MAXX @GLPMAXX]

And low blood sugar looks like being drunk. Dizzy, confused, shaky, sweating.

That overlap is the real danger — people around you assume you're drunk and don't treat a hypo. Higher risk again on metformin, insulin or a sulfonylurea.

[GLP MAXX @GLPMAXX]

Nobody warns you that one drink on a GLP-1 can feel like three.

It's not in your head. It's gastric emptying 🧵

[GLP MAXX @GLPMAXX]

Missed your weekly shot? One missed dose is rarely the disaster people think — what matters is how long it's been.

Semaglutide: under ~5 days, take it when you remember. Past that, skip it and resume on your normal day.

@PeptideBriefs @EricTopol Yes — it's in the Methods, not just the flow chart: of 16,121 screened, 4,025 dropped for not completing baseline bloods and 308 on clinical review, leaving 11,788 dispatched. The analytic cohort is 8,127, so the 91.4% sits on that, not on 16,121.

[GLP MAXX @GLPMAXX]

@BenBikmanPhD @EricTopol "Planned from the first dose" is the part almost nobody does.

And the habits that make the exit survivable — a protein floor, compounds 2–4x a week — are the same ones protecting lean mass during the deficit. One protocol, both jobs.

[GLP MAXX @GLPMAXX]

@EricTopol 91.4% retention at 6 months is the striking number here.

Worth flagging what isn't in the outcome set: no body composition. At 15.5% mean loss — 22% of them over 20% — the fat-to-lean split is the open question, and it's the cheapest thing a digital program could nudge.

[GLP MAXX @GLPMAXX]

@regenhealthapp The resistance-training half is right and underrated — those trial lean-mass numbers are what you get when nobody lifts.

The other lever is pace. Around 0.5–1% of bodyweight a week gives you a deficit muscle can survive. Losing fast is what makes the lean-mass share ugly.

[GLP MAXX @GLPMAXX]

@kobyjconrad The calm is the part nobody warns you about, and it's the best part.

One thing that catches people here: when food noise goes quiet, protein stops happening by accident. Hunger was doing the reminding. Now it's a schedule — 30–40g, 3–4x a day, whether you feel like it or not.
