The vegan protein challenge on GLP-1s is real - the capacity drops but the daily target stays the same. Concentrating on highest protein-density plant sources (seitan, tempeh, edamame, pea protein isolate) rather than volume-eating becomes more important. Spreading it across 4-5 small servings...

Yeah, the initial weeks can be deceptive. A 2-lb change doesn't mean much when you're building strength and staying hydrated. I noticed the same thing early on - looked like nothing was happening for ages, then suddenly things shifted. Just keep consistent with your training routine and logging...

I hope you're getting a percentage! 😉

Free RLT? You lucky duck! I'm a believer, and I love your sense of humor. Please let us know if you see any results, even if it's just improved dance moves! 😉

Take powdered MiraLAX or generic brand every morning.

I asked an AI to compare rat data on semaglutide discontinuation with human SURMONT numbers when people stopped tirzepatide. Slopes looked crazy similar. Rats are pretty close to humans biologically, so that's wild to think about.

pepto has bismuth in it, and bismuth kills the bacteria that causes those gross sulfur burps.

Start slow, let your body adjust. GLP1 hits people different. Half-life is 5 days, so give it 4 weeks to really settle in. More water than you think you need, and veggies not pills for fiber. Grab enough protein to keep muscle. This'll be smoother if you dodge the rough patches.

Huge congrats on hitting those milestones. You're in a healthier place now and have earned the confidence that comes with it. That said, your worth was never tied to appearance - the person within is what truly defines you.

Thread came back to life and yeah, I'm at 12-13mg Tirz now and hungry constantly these past two weeks. Eating way more than usual, worse choices too. Work stress probably, but Tirz always pushed through before. Hate moving to 15mg officially but adding an extra pin today. Urge to eat's still...

food aversions on mounjaro are super common early but soften by dose 2 or 3 for most. bigger thing is electrolytes—you're eating way less volume. diy salt and potassium mix works but tastes awful. salt of the earth made a difference for me when appetite was zero.

Didn't expect much from the weekly shot but it worked strong the first few days, then wore off around day 4 or 5. Just listened to my body about eating. Three weeks in and I've lost 23 pounds. I know some of that's water and inflammation from starting at a high weight, but 23 lbs in 3 weeks...

They shut down the 503B compounders hard. 503A's are still ok for now. What're poorer folks supposed to do if they want to get healthy?

Get to a healthier weight first, then address testosterone. One system stabilizes before attacking the next.

rapid loss hits the gallbladder hard. if you still have yours add bile salts fiber that kind of thing. but honestly slowing down is probably smarter. strength and nutrition focus after the fast part.
