The plateau question is worth unpacking - how long have you been watching calories and walking? At a plateau the two things worth checking are protein intake and whether your calorie target has drifted too low for where you are now. If you've been at the same deficit for a long time, the body...

Fairlife or a collagen powder mixed into broth are the two that come up most for low-bloat options on GLP-1 - easier on the gut than whey for a lot of people.

Ozempic doses weekly - 2mg once weekly is the standard next step from 1mg.

Maintaining after a year off and then returning is the pattern that proves the medication wasn't doing all the work - the habits you built during the active phase are what held the weight. The mis-steps early in maintenance are the calibration period, not failure.

that's basically the lowest dose that works. i'm at 2.5iu now but not pushing till bloodwork. long-term over range isn't healthy. if i can stay under 315 at 4iu i'll do it but looking unlikely. already got water retention and ankle swelling but the fat's melting fast, veins are showing after 6...

search for [site: glp1forum] and whatever you're looking for.

Those side effects could be from weight loss or diet. So that doesn't help much. I see hunger isn't a problem. Being cold comes from lost insulation and reduced metabolism. Even without hunger, higher doses may reduce calories and increase weight loss. How old/healthy you are affects how...

The most important question is current side effects? To advise properly, I'd need start weight, age, height, and loss timeline. But with no side effects, there's no reason not to increase the dose. Losing that much weight is a long-term health risk, and higher doses prevent obesity-related...

went from pooping 5-7 times a day before mounjaro to once every 1-3 days now. drinking tons of water, eating 1200-1500 cals, but can't go. feel it there, get cramps, nothing happens. any walmart fixes or do i need an actual laxative?

not gaining? stick at 2mg for 4 weeks, then up if weight stalls. goal is finding your sweet spot—no or tolerable sides with at least half a pound weekly. it's a marathon. if you hit the high end and still not getting results, might be time to split or stack doses.

my insurance pushed me to 5 after 4 weeks even though i was happy at the lower dose. first shot made me tired enough to take work off, then smooth 3 months. food noise kicked in at 7, went up, no side effects that time. everyone's different. drink water like it's your job, hit your protein...

trying the dosing math: 6ml in a 10ml vial gives you a 6mg shot at roughly 24 units. that's about 24 shots, so 3 months for my wife and me at 6mg once a day. curious what the actual fill will be.

That's amazing! I'm curious, now that you're closer to your goal, are you finding it harder to lose?

On CJC/ipamorelin 500/500 daily and it's doing something good for my energy. 259 lbs, eating 2600 kcal per my trainer (230g protein, 340g carb, 40g fat), way more than before. Not gaining though.

Congrats! It's the best feeling! Hitting 'onederland' was huge, but even bigger for me was finally being 'overweight' instead of 'obese' on the chart.
