Losing muscle mass is just what happens when you're in a calorie deficit. The same thing happens if you're in a calorie deficit without the aid of a GLP-1.

Making sure each meal contains substantial protein will help negate this.

Right, it’s not something specific to GLP-1 treatment, but there are myostatin and activin A modulators under investigation to specifically counteract muscle loss related to caloric deficit more generally.
