This is exactly what I could not find anywhere else. Taking it to my next appointment.
From the other side of the consultation, briefly.
Physical therapist weighing in on lean mass. I work with bariatric and metabolic patients daily.
The resistance training evidence is critical here:
The Lundgren 2024 JAMA paper[1] showed that structured resistance training preserved 73% more lean mass in GLP-1 patients vs medication alone. When discussing lean mass, we MUST include the exercise component.
My minimum prescription: 3x/week compound movements (squat, deadlift, press, row), progressive overload, 7-10K steps/day, and 1.2-1.6g protein/kg/day.

Bone density monitoring on lean mass: DEXA bone density at baseline and month 12.
Lumbar spine T-score: -0.9 → -0.6 (stable to slightly improved)
Femoral neck T-score: -0.11 → -0.7 (stable)
No significant bone loss despite 76 lbs of weight loss. Key factors: adequate calcium (1200mg/day), vitamin D (5000 IU/day), resistance training 3x/week, and adequate protein. Weight-bearing exercise is critical for maintaining bone density during rapid weight loss.
