@thmssllvn Nothing special about GLP1. Any diet will cause muscle mass loss if it is not countered with resistance exercise and other muscle building actions. On a diet it is always use it or lose it. If you do not have enough to eat the body goes to break down muscle for nourishment. That provides necessary calories while reducing the base calorie requirement much more than burning fat.
