No one is disputing that you can restore glycogen or water weight quickly.

But the issue is all of the studies I have looked at look at total FFM which does include the loss there. If you are on these GLP-1s there is water weight you are going to lose and keep off while on them due to the anti-inflammation effects, etc., and that water weight is going to be part of their calculations of FFM that has been lost.

I understand now. Sorry for being slow to get it.
