It would seem wise to potentially add a low dosed anabolic androgenic steroid like Anavar (Oxandrolone) [1] during a course of Ozempic. This would help keep skeletal muscle in tact during a calorie deficient period. A low dose wouldn't be expected to cause much, if any, side effects. But it's something that would be best put through rigorous studies.

But bodybuilders have been using tricks like these for decades (obviously at much more ridiculously high amounts) that work quite successfully for this exact purpose.
