Lose Weight Without Losing Muscle
The scales don’t tell the whole story.
When you’re trying to lose weight, it’s easy to focus on the number on the scales.
But what if some of the weight you’re losing isn’t body fat?
What if you’re also losing muscle?
Muscle plays an important role in:
✔ maintaining strength and energy
✔ supporting metabolism
✔ helping you stay active and independent
✔ improving blood sugar control and metabolic health
✔ keeping you feeling your best as your body changes over time.
Not all weight loss is the same.
This patient lost almost 18 kg of body fat while preserving muscle.
Why muscle matters
When we lose muscle, we often notice:
- reduced strength
- lower energy levels
- slower metabolism
- difficulty maintaining weight loss long term
- a loss of tone despite losing weight.
This is why simply seeing the scales go down doesn’t always tell the full story.
At Moss Health, we look beyond the scales to understand what’s really happening in your body.
Protecting muscle matters.
This patient lost 23 kg while preserving more than 90% of their lean muscle mass.
GLP-1’s and muscle loss
Weight loss medications (GLP-1’s) such as: Ozempic, Mounjaro and Wegovy have helped many people successfully lose weight.
However, studies suggest that lean muscle mass is also being lost, so preserving muscle should be part of the conversation.
With the right nutrition, protein intake, movement and monitoring, it is possible to support healthy weight loss while protecting your muscle.
How body composition testing helps
At Moss Health, body composition testing is included as part of your consultation.
This allows us to monitor changes in:
✔ muscle mass
✔ body fat
✔ visceral fat
✔ hydration
✔ metabolic health markers.
Instead of guessing what’s changing in your body, we can track your progress with accurate measurements and tailor your plan accordingly.
