GLP-1 Confession #50 Reta is so powerful đŸ’Ș I literally can’t overcome its effects. The experiment may have to come to a halt. I’ve been pushing hard — eating everything in sight during this reverse diet phase, heavy lifting, high protein, trying to hold onto muscle while leaning out

GLP-1s eat your muscle” — I hear this all the time. Here’s the truth: GLP-1s (like Tirzepatide) put the body in a catabolic state for fat loss
 just like calorie deficits and long cardio sessions do. They all shift you toward breaking tissue down. The solution isn’t avoiding GLP-1s, cardio, or deficits — it’s intentionally balancing them with anabolic signals: lifting heavy, hitting high protein (1g per lb of goal weight), and strategic recovery. Muscle loss isn’t automatic on GLP-1s — it’s optional when you train and eat like it matters. Drop a đŸ”„ if you’re lifting while on GLP-1s or in a deficit. What’s your go-to way to protect muscle?

There's a question that keeps coming up: is retatrutide better than tirzepatide? In my experience, this is the wrong question. It's like asking whether steak or chicken is better. Steak is arguably more nutrient-dense, but some people do better on chicken, and there's no reason you wouldn't vary your protein sources. It's the same with GLPs. It's not either/or, you have to experiment. > Tirzepatide is a dual agonist. It hits GLP-1 and GIP receptors. > Retatrutide is a triple agonist. It hits GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors. That glucagon piece is the key difference. It changes how your body uses fuel in a way tirzepatide simply doesn't. In clinical trials, retatrutide produced 24% average weight loss in 48 weeks. Tirzepatide produced 21% in 72 weeks. Reta produced better results in almost half the time. The glucagon receptor drives thermogenesis and fat oxidation, which you don't get with a dual agonist. But retatrutide comes with a tradeoff. It raises resting heart rate by 5-10 BPM, driven by the glucagon receptor, and happens at every dose level. Reta peaks around week 24 and reverses when you stop. This doesn't happen with tirzepatide. And that's exactly why you shouldn't be on either of these indefinitely. The problem is that most people are scared to cycle off because they've heard the horror stories about weight rebound. As a result, they stay on way too long. This isn't medical advice, but I believe the right approach is to be 12-16 weeks on, 8-10 weeks off. You cycle, monitor, and adjust. If you don't know how to properly come off a GLP, you have no business being on one. On top of that, if you're running the experiment but not tracking it, you're wasting it. - Get labs done: fasting insulin, blood glucose, A1C, etc. - Wear a tracker: monitor heart rate and HRV These compounds impact metabolic markers that matter way more than bodyweight. If you have weight to lose and you're interested in GLPs, run at least one cycle of each. See how your body responds to retatrutide. Then see how it responds to tirzepatide. Compare the data, and that's how you'll find what works. Because in performance healthcare, data wins, not the math. Comment "FATLOSS" below, and I'll send you my 70-page Peptide Bible. P.S. None of this is medical advice nor a recommendation.

Protein is essential. But more protein is NOT always better for fat loss. If your meals are very lean, your body can convert excess protein into glucose through gluconeogenesis instead of burning stored fat. That can keep insulin higher than expected and slow metabolic progress, especially for people healing insulin resistance or trying to stay in deep ketosis. If you’re still hungry after eating, the answer is usually not more protein. It’s more fat. Fat increases satiety, stabilizes energy, and signals your body that it’s safe to access stored fuel instead of defending it. This is what eating fat-forward actually means.

Andrew Huberman just broke down the next wave of weight-loss drugs on Gwyneth Paltrow’s goop podcast. He says the new triple agonist Retatrutide (currently in trials) is a big step up from Ozempic and Mounjaro. It hits three pathways (GLP-1 + glucagon + GIP) more gently, leading to significant weight loss with potentially less muscle loss and fewer side effects. People are already hunting for gray/black market versions. Early trial data on Retatrutide showed participants losing up to 24% of their body weight over 48 weeks, with notably better muscle preservation compared to earlier GLP-1 drugs when combined with resistance training. These next-generation drugs are becoming more targeted, but access, safety, and proper use remain key issues. This conversation made the rapid evolution of these drugs feel very real. It’s wild how fast this space is moving. What’s your take on the new generation of GLP drugs like Retatrutide?

RETATRUTIDE is NOT JUST for WEIGHT LOSS
 
and the fact that that’s what everyone is obsessing over tells me we’re still missing the point. 🙃 Because what I’m looking at? It’s not just the scale. It’s what’s happening underneath it. We’re talking 24% body weight reduction in trials
 sure. BUT ALSO: 47% drop in inflammatory markers in 12 weeks. 2.1% drop in HbA1c. 42% reduction in visceral fat (the dangerous kind hugging your organs). đŸ« And then it gets uncomfortable
 31% lower cardiovascular mortality. 28% fewer heart attacks. 22% fewer strokes. Like
 pause there. Because if this was just about weight loss
 those numbers wouldn’t exist. This is metabolism. This is inflammation. This is mitochondrial signaling. 🧬 And THIS is where I start side-eyeing the narrative. Because you’ve been told this is about “calories” and “willpower.” Meanwhile your body is sitting there like— “Hey
 I’m inflamed. I’m insulin resistant. I’m storing for a reason.” 👀 And instead of asking why
 We’ve been handed drugs and told to shrink. But here’s the part nobody’s talking about
 What happens when you stop? With semaglutide (Ozempic)
 about 72% of people regain the weight. Tirzepatide? Around 60%. Retatrutide? ONLY 5–10%. That’s not a small difference. That’s a completely different conversation. Because now we’re NOT just talking about weight suppression
 We’re talking about whether the terrain (esp hormones and body talk) actually changed. And if you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right
 but your body keeps pulling you back
 this matters more than you think. Because your body isn’t trying to sabotage you. It’s responding to something deeper. If you want me to break down what this actually means

Everyone keeps telling her to eat less fat so her body will burn stored fat. But it is not working. And there is a reason for that. When you come from a background of insulin resistance your body has literally lost the ability to tap into stored fat. Elevated insulin for extended periods shoves glucose into your fat cells and locks it behind closed doors. Your liver is still running around looking for glucose because that is all it has ever known. You cannot fix that by eating less fat. You fix it by flooding your body with fat. I am talking 150 to 200 grams a day. You have to force your liver to stop looking for glucose and finally accept fat as its fuel source. That is not maintenance eating. That is metabolic retraining. And before you close this post let me remind you what fat actually does for your body. Your brain is nearly 60% fat. Every single one of your hormones is made from fat. Your cell membranes are made from fat. Fat carries your fat soluble vitamins, A, D, E and K, without fat you cannot absorb them at all. Fat keeps you satiated, stabilizes your mood, gives you steady energy, and keeps your hormones balanced. Fat is not the enemy. Fat is literally the building material your body runs on. About 70% of your calories should be coming from fat. That is not a typo. Once your liver concedes and fat becomes the rule of the land that is fat adaptation. And THAT is when you can start pulling back on dietary fat slightly and let your body tap into its own stores. That is when the weight really starts moving. I know it sounds completely backwards. I lived on low fat my entire life and ballooned to 330 pounds eating way too many carbohydrates. It took me months to unlearn everything I had been taught. The answer has always been fat. It will always be fat.👑

Dr. Paul Saladino: “One of the first issues I have with these GLPs is you’re probably on them FOR LIFE.” “So if Charles [Barkley] stops the GLP-1, the research is pretty clear that he’s going to regain the weight within one to two years
” PBD: “Why is that?” Dr. Saladino: “When you stop it, the eating habits that you never fixed will outpace the metabolism that’s been changed by the GLPs.” “These GLPs will slow down your metabolism because you’re eating less food. And so you’ve lost fat. You’ve also lost muscle mass. Muscle mass is positive for our metabolism. Muscle mass burns calories.” “There’s a study that came out saying that when you stop a GLP-1, you regain the weight four times faster than if you stopped exercise. Four times faster!”

Up to 30% of the weight lost while dieting can come from lean muscle mass—but the right training and nutrition can help you preserve muscle, which is key for metabolic health and reducing the risk of sarcopenia. You can lose fat and gain muscle at the same time—a process called body recomposition—if you train and eat strategically. The most important factor is resistance training. Lifting heavy 2–3 times per week is essential for maintaining and building muscle while losing fat. Without it, muscle mass inevitably declines. Nutrition also plays a major role. Eating in a slight calorie deficit—around 10–20% below maintenance—allows for steady fat loss without sacrificing muscle, energy levels, or training performance. Protein intake is another key priority. Research shows that consuming 1.8 to 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day is optimal for muscle retention and growth during a calorie deficit, and going even higher may provide additional benefits. Beyond training and nutrition, recovery is just as crucial. Adequate sleep, stress management, and tracking progress help ensure you’re making real, sustainable changes. Get this right and you have a powerful strategy to build muscle and lose fat. If you want to learn more about optimizing body recomposition, improving VO2 max, and enhancing brain health, tune into the latest episode of the FoundMyFitness podcast, where and I break it all down with insights from top experts.

you don’t need whey protein because it’s unnatural” is genuinely one of the worst takes floating around indian households. let me be clear. 1 scoop gives you roughly 25g of protein in minutes. your dal, sabzi, and roti combined don’t even come close to what your body actually needs to function properly. whey protein isn’t some lab-created poison. it’s literally milk protein separated out. if paneer is natural, whey is natural. the only difference is whey actually works faster and doesn’t come loaded with extra fat. here’s the real problem. most indians, especially vegetarians, are surviving on maybe 30-40g of protein daily when they need double that just to maintain basic health. and the solution is sitting right there but people won’t touch it because someone said it’s western or chemicals. (by the way you can consume protein from other sources, fair enough but i'm accounting for ease and bioavailability as well) whenever i travel constantly. trains, hotels, random cities. i don’t have to stress about breakfast because i can tear open a packet, mix it in 200ml water, and get 25g of protein that keeps me sorted till afternoon. if you can afford it and especially if you’re vegetarian, stop making protein harder than it needs to be. add a scoop to your breakfast or post-workout and watch your energy, recovery, and overall health improve. also this isn’t about bodybuilding. this is about not being protein-starved in a carb-heavy culture. make sense?

If you're on a GLP-1 like tirzepatide or retatrutide and only eating 800 to 1,000 calories a day, up to 39% of the weight you lose could be lean muscle mass. Here's how to protect your muscle by prioritizing protein even when your appetite is gone. Key takeaways from this video: - Up to 39% of weight lost on GLP-1s can be lean muscle, which one review compared to a decade of aging in muscle loss - You should aim for 1g of protein per pound of your goal body weight per day, spread across at least two meals of 30 to 45g each - A study showed that people in a 40% calorie deficit who lifted weights and hit 1g per pound of protein actually gained 2.5 lbs of lean mass while losing 10.5 lbs of fat - Use low-volume protein dense foods like Greek yogurt, bone broth, beef jerky, cottage cheese, deli turkey, and protein shakes to hit your targets when solid food feels like too much - Eat on a schedule rather than based on appetite because the peptide will handle the deficit for you and you just need to make sure the food you do eat is the right food đŸ‘„ Join my FREE Skool community: For men: For women: đŸ‹ïž Looking for personalized coaching and accountability?

Why burning more calories doesn’t always mean fat loss: Burn 500 calories a day, lose a pound a week? Sounds simple, right? Unfortunately, that’s not how human metabolism works. Your body is incredibly adaptive, and over time, it adjusts how many calories you burn. In today’s Perform with Dr. Andy Galpin episode, Dr. Herman Pontzer (Herman Pontzer) of Duke Global Health / Duke Evolutionary Anthropology explains that while you might see an initial drop in weight, your body compensates by slowing down other energy expenditures, so you’re likely burning far fewer extra calories than you think—sometimes just half, sometimes even the same as before. And to be clear, this isn’t about inaccurate calorie burn estimates. We’re talking about real, internal physiological changes your body makes in response to increased energy use. On top of that, not eating the calories you burn is tough. The body naturally drives you to replace that energy, making sustainability the real challenge. So, if you’re not losing weight despite increasing exercise, don’t assume something is ‘broken’—your body is simply adapting, and you may need to adjust your approach. Smart training, sustainable nutrition, and understanding energy balance are key.

4 mistakes I avoided that helped me build this natural physique. Building an impressive natural physique is hard. But if you make these 4 mistakes, you’re making it unnecessarily harder. 1. Cutting too early If you’re only 1–2 years into training, stop thinking about getting shredded. Your first few years should be heavily focused on building muscle. Because when you eventually get lean, you need enough muscle underneath the fat to actually look like a bodybuilder. Otherwise, you’re not going to look “shredded.” You’re just going to look like a skinny guy with abs. Build the muscle first. Then reveal it. 2. Starting your deficit too aggressively The biggest mistake I see is people immediately slashing calories. Don’t. Start with the smallest deficit that produces a measurable response. Give your body time to respond. If fat loss slows or stalls, then intervene. You don’t need to go from maintenance straight into starvation mode just because you’re impatient. 3. Treating 1.6 g/kg of protein as a universal rule 1.6 g/kg can be perfectly adequate in many situations. But it isn’t a magic ceiling. As you become leaner and the deficit becomes more aggressive, I prefer to progressively increase protein to improve the odds of retaining maximum lean mass. In some of my deeper cuts, I go as high as ~3 g/kg. And I never stop training hard. Because during a deficit, your primary objective isn't to build as much muscle as possible. It is to retain as much of the muscle you worked so hard to build. Protein and resistance training are your insurance policy. If calories need to come down further, I would rather make those reductions predominantly from carbohydrates and fats while keeping dietary fat at a sensible minimum. 4. Thinking “I need to eat less” before thinking “Can I move more?” This is probably the biggest one. Before dropping calories again, ask: Can I increase my steps? Can I add some cardio? Can I improve my sleep and recovery? Can I increase energy expenditure without unnecessarily reducing food? There is more than one way to create an energy deficit. Calories are a tool. They shouldn't always be your first lever. Avoid these four mistakes and your chances of building an impressive natural physique go up dramatically. Build the muscle. Cut strategically. Protect the muscle. And don't confuse suffering with progress. Want to build muscle at 30, 35, 40, 50+? DM me. I’ll help you build it strategically.

4 mistakes I avoided that helped me build this natural physique. Building an impressive natural physique is hard. But if you make these 4 mistakes, you’re making it unnecessarily harder. 1. Cutting too early If you’re only 1–2 years into training, stop thinking about getting shredded. Your first few years should be heavily focused on building muscle. Because when you eventually get lean, you need enough muscle underneath the fat to actually look like a bodybuilder. Otherwise, you’re not going to look “shredded.” You’re just going to look like a skinny guy with abs. Build the muscle first. Then reveal it. 2. Starting your deficit too aggressively The biggest mistake I see is people immediately slashing calories. Don’t. Start with the smallest deficit that produces a measurable response. Give your body time to respond. If fat loss slows or stalls, then intervene. You don’t need to go from maintenance straight into starvation mode just because you’re impatient. 3. Treating 1.6 g/kg of protein as a universal rule 1.6 g/kg can be perfectly adequate in many situations. But it isn’t a magic ceiling. As you become leaner and the deficit becomes more aggressive, I prefer to progressively increase protein to improve the odds of retaining maximum lean mass. In some of my deeper cuts, I go as high as ~3 g/kg. And I never stop training hard. Because during a deficit, your primary objective isn't to build as much muscle as possible. It is to retain as much of the muscle you worked so hard to build. Protein and resistance training are your insurance policy. If calories need to come down further, I would rather make those reductions predominantly from carbohydrates and fats while keeping dietary fat at a sensible minimum. 4.

Joe Rogan reveals his personal cheat code for weight loss — and it’s brutally effective: “If you're trying to lose weight, one of the best ways to regulate your appetite is the carnivore diet. You literally can't overeat on it.” He breaks down why it works so well for him (from his interview with Kevin James): - Zero carbs = body flips into fat-burning ketosis, cravings drop naturally. - Pure protein + fat hits satiety fast — your body signals “enough” long before you overdo calories. - Add bread, pasta, mashed potatoes, ice cream? “I'm gonna keep going and get another 7,000 calories.” Kevin James notes his trainer (Dolce) says “carbs are fine” if they're the right ones — but Rogan doubles down: For pure fat loss, carnivore is the ultimate appetite-killer, no constant willpower battles required. No preaching, no dogma — just his honest experience after trying every diet imaginable. Have you ever gone full carnivore (or high-protein/low-carb) — and did it crush your cravings the way he describes?

5.3% Body Fat on Dexa Confirmed All right, so I just got my body fat results back. We did the DEXA scan, and I clocked in at 5.3% body fat. This is the leanest I've ever been. Two years ago, when I got lean, I was 7.3% body fat. And guess what? I kept all the muscle. My lean body mass is the same. In fact, if I eat a bit more for a few days, I can pump my lean body mass up a couple pounds and be even bigger than I was two years ago. So, this is fantastic. But the cool part is, it's been enjoyable. It's been so easy to stay at this body fat with a little bit of a weekly tirzepatide. And when I did my testosterone results recently, my T levels are 760, which is high, but my free T is above the reference range. So I was able to achieve extreme low body fat and keep my free T top end of the range, completely natural.

“This is going to be a trillion-dollar drug.” Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. says retatrutide is the peptide that’s about to “change everything.” Currently in a Phase III clinical trial in humans, retatrutide caused up to one-third body weight loss in just six months, with some degree of muscle sparing. “The bodybuilding community has been onto this for a long time.” “Then it shows up in Hollywood. Everyone lies or avoids answering the question of how they got so jacked. They talk about eating chicken breasts, and they’re actually taking growth hormone, Winstrol, and retatrutide.” “We are looking at a potential change in the laws around peptides such that buying peptides would become illegal. I think this is a terrible idea, but the motivation behind this is largely because Eli Lilly owns the patent.” “Lilly would like to protect the domain over that patent. This is going to be a trillion-dollar drug.”

Someone asked me today: “I’m doing everything right but I’m not losing weight. Help.” I get this message constantly. And I remember feeling exactly this way. Here’s what nobody tells you: when your metabolism has been broken for years, genuinely broken, not just “a little sluggish,” your body has a repair list. And weight loss is not at the top of it. Before the fat comes off, your body is busy. Cortisol has to regulate. Leptin and ghrelin, your hunger hormones, have to recalibrate. Chronic inflammation has to come down. Your mitochondria have to relearn how to burn fat for fuel instead of running on a constant drip of glucose. Insulin resistance has to reverse. That’s not nothing. That’s a massive internal overhaul happening while you stare at a scale that isn’t moving. For me it was around month four when the weight really started coming off. But the anxiety had already disappeared. My blood sugar had already stabilized. My sleep had already improved. My body was healing. I just couldn’t see it yet. The scale is the last thing to catch up. Not the first. So if you’re doing everything right and the number isn’t moving, don’t quit. You are not broken. Your body is just doing the hard work first. Trust the process. The weight loss comes after the healing. đŸ„©đŸ‘‘

Belly fat is the most dangerous fat on your body. ⚠ I’m not talking about how it looks. I’m talking about visceral fat, the fat packed around your internal organs. Cardiologist Dr. Pradip Jamnadas explains how he can often recognize insulin resistance before he ever sees the bloodwork simply by looking at where a patient is carrying their fat. Big belly. Growing waistline. Most of the fat concentrated around the abdomen. That tells him to start looking at INSULIN. Because insulin is a storage hormone. In fact, insulin is the most famous peptide of all. When insulin stays elevated, your body keeps getting the message: STORE. STORE. STORE. And this is why I keep telling people that stubborn belly fat is not always about eating too many calories. You have to ask WHY the body is holding onto that fat in the first place. This is also why fasting is NOT the same thing as fewer calories or calorie deficit. Dr. Jamnadas explains that when you stop eating, insulin begins coming down and your body can shift away from constantly storing energy and start accessing the fuel it already has stored. đŸ”„ Insulin comes down đŸ”„ Stored fat becomes available for fuel đŸ”„ The body begins accessing visceral fat đŸ”„ Your digestive system finally gets a break đŸ”„ Your metabolism gets a completely different signal This is why I’ve been teaching fasting for decades. Because when you give the body a break from constantly eating, something powerful happens: The body finally gets a chance to work on itself. That is what we teach inside our Water Fasting Breakthrough course. 👇 Here’s the link to learn how to prepare for a fast, what happens inside your body while fasting, and how to approach fasting more safely and intentionally. Your body already knows how to burn stored fuel. Sometimes you just need to stop feeding it long enough to let it do what God designed it to do. Blessings and ❀, Dr. Edward Group, DC #fasting #fastingforhealth #fastingforweightloss #insulinresistance #bellyfat
