Have you considered taking one of the popular weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, but you\u2019re worried about weight regain once you stop taking the drug? Listen up! I\u2019ve got some tips that will help you avoid some of the dreaded side effects and get the best results from using these medications.

While I always recommend a diet and lifestyle approach to weight loss, the bottom line is this: if you are weight-loss resistant, these solutions could give you the edge you need to finally move the needle. However, the last thing you want to do is lose precious metabolism-supporting muscle. One of the downsides to using a drug like Ozempic is that it may prompt equal amounts of muscle and fat loss. Even though you see the number on the scale drop, your fat-to-muscle ratio may actually move in the wrong direction.

Without adequate muscle on your body, you will have a lowered metabolism and a harder time keeping your body from storing fat once you stop taking the drug. In this episode, I\u2019m going to give you the exact strategies you need to put in place\u2014whether or not you are using Ozempic\u2014to increase your muscle mass, hold on to your skeletal muscle, and rev up your metabolism so that you can achieve lasting weight loss results and an ideal body composition for the long term.
