GLP-1s:

what they can’t do—and why it matters

GLP-1s may help you lose weight, but sustainable change happens at the cellular level. For results to last, it’s not just about the number on the scale — it’s about what’s happening beneath the surface.

Here’s a closer look at what GLP-1s can, and can’t, do:

Can: make you lose lean muscle Up to 40% of the weight lost from GLP-1s can come from muscle, which slows metabolism and impacts long-term results (not to mention your strength and overall health!).

Can: cause rebound weight gain GLP-1s suppress appetite rather than creating lasting changes in the body. When the medication is stopped, hunger signals often return, making weight regain common.

Can’t: address underlying causes of weight gain or metabolic imbalance GLP-1s help control hunger and blood sugar during use, but don’t support the deeper cellular processes tied to long-term metabolic health and sustained weight loss.
