Lose fat, not muscle
Losing weight doesn’t have to mean losing muscle. Protein is a building block of muscle, and it’s necessary for building and repairing tissue. Combining appropriate amounts of high-quality protein in combination with resistance training can help support preservation of muscle mass.
If you are taking weight loss medications, it can be hard to meet your daily protein intake from dietary foods alone. Oral nutritional supplements containing high quality protein with essential vitamins and minerals can help you meet your nutritional goals during your weight management journey.
