He Gained Muscle While Losing 77 Pounds on GLP-1s. Yes, Really! DOWNSIZED DISH

Описание: Patrick spent most of his life as an athlete and serving his country in the Army. But in his late 40s, the weight crept on, his health markers were heading in the wrong direction, and friends his age were starting to pass away from metabolic disease.
At 242 pounds, Patrick decided it was time to take control.
In this episode of The Downsized Dish, Patrick shares how he lost 77 pounds using a GLP-1 medication — going from 242 to 165 — while gaining muscle and cutting his body fat into the single digits. Yes, really.
He talks about:
• Losing 17 pounds in his first 30 days
• Why insurance denied him three times and how he still made it work
• The training approach that helped him keep — and even build — muscle
• His protein-first macro strategy that fit real life
• How fried food suddenly became unappealing
• What finally broke his six-month plateau
• Why sleep and recovery became his secret weapon
• His plan for maintenance and slowly titrating down
This is not a highlight reel. It is the real story of fear, frustration, discipline, and reclaiming health in midlife.
If you are using Zepbound, Mounjaro, Wegovy, or Ozempic — or thinking about starting — Patrick’s story may change how you think about what is possible.
