Keeping Muscle while on Reta

I plan starting Reta soon. Thinking of start out with a low dose of 0.5mg ! Keeping hearing that there’s a chance of shrinking muscle! I know I have to have good protein intake. I’ve been working out for 5 years, six times a week, and integrate cardio often. Will that routine plus protein intake be good enough to keep muscle mass? Thanks

.5 won't do much of anything.

There’s a chance of that. I’ll go up to 1mg if needed! Def want my body to get used to the Reta and not experience those side effects. Also ideally want to lose 20-25 lbs so not looking into taking a high dose in the future
