If someone who isn't overweight uses a weight-loss pen, will it cause them to lose muscle?
Pen-holding exercises don't directly "eat away" muscles as many people worry, but rather it's a holistic adaptation of the body. When the body loses weight rapidly due to reduced food intake, there is a chance of losing muscle mass if insufficient protein intake and muscle-building exercises are not performed. Especially in patients who are not severely obese, using a weight-loss pen may be unnecessary and may increase the risk of muscle loss. Therefore, A protein-focused diet and appropriate exercise are key to achieving lasting health and a strong physique.
Therefore, doctors emphasize to every patient that unless absolutely necessary, this group of medications is not recommended. And if the patient lacks discipline, it will do more harm than good.
