Losing Weight? Protect the Muscle That Shapes
Weight loss can be powerful. But how you lose weight matters just as much as how much.
With GLP-1 medications, studies have shown that up to 20-40% of weight lost can come from lean muscle, not just fat – especially when weight loss is rapid.
Why muscle loss matters
Loss of muscle doesn’t only affect appearance; it can lead to:
- A softer, less sculpted silhouette
- Sagging or deflated- looking skin
- Loss of strength and energy
- A slower metabolism
Results that are difficult to rebuild later. Once muscle is lost, it is hard to regain, even with exercise alone
Muscle protection is essential during weight loss.
A high protein diet is an important foundation, but nutrition alone is often not enough to preserve muscle during significant calorie reduction. That is where CoolTone® becomes critical.
CoolTone®
CoolTone uses advanced electromagnetic technology to create powerful, involuntary muscle contractions- far stronger than voluntary exercise- helping to stimulate, strengthen and preserve muscle while weight is coming off.
When used during GL-1 assisted weight loss Cooltone® will be effective in:
- Helping protect lean muscle mass
- Maintaining tone and definition
- Supporting strength and metabolic health
- Enhancing cosmetic results by improving firmness and shape
