Adding a me-too, because a thread of one person's experience is not much use.

Muscle fiber type changes during GLP-1-mediated weight loss, relevant to lean mass: preliminary biopsy data suggests that weight loss shifts the skeletal muscle fiber type distribution:
This "metabolic remodeling" of muscle may contribute to improved insulin sensitivity independent of total lean mass changes. The muscle you keep becomes metabolically better, even if there's less of it[1].

DEXA scan update relevant to lean mass:
Scanned at months 0, 6, and 12. Here are the body comp numbers:
| Baseline | Month 6 | Month 12 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total mass | 250 lbs | 210 lbs | 197 lbs |
| Fat mass | 100 lbs | 70 lbs | 47 lbs |
| Lean mass | 153 lbs | 149 lbs | 154 lbs |
| Body fat % | 43% | 35% | 21% |
Lean mass preserved — actually GAINED 1-2 lbs thanks to progressive overload + 1.6g/kg protein. The lean mass discussion needs to include body comp data, not just scale weight.

Saving this. It is the first explanation that did not require me to already understand it. Taking it to my next appointment.
