220 to 165 at 10mg is real progress - 1100 calories with that workout volume is low, and adding protein often accelerates the next phase rather than slowing it.
Visible changes on 2.5mg with T2D diagnosis is the ideal scenario for the medication - the A1C improvement and the early inflammatory changes often show on the face and body before the scale reflects the full picture. Starting late spring and already seeing real changes by now is good pacing.
Seen some vendors pop up lately (fb esp) that look decently priced, but i'm still in the no-source zone here and don't wanna cross that line. Appreciate this community too much for that.
I'm on Wegovy and honestly don't experience any of that. Had to cut back on coffee—more than one cup makes me feel gross. Sodas too. Cut back on fried food. Once I figured out my triggers, I'm solid. No constipation or diarrhea. Don't let horror stories scare you off.
mounjaro's got better bio outcomes than ozempic or wegovy. high-dose availability means less tolerance issues and stalled progress. mounjaro wins by a decent margin
Quick q: when people say don't mix peptides, what's the actual concern? Like if I'm drawing multiple ones into the same syringe—25 units this, 8 units that, 15 of the other thing—is that the mixing they mean or nah?
So true, Food-IMO. I'm in my second week, and after the second shot, everything's changed. Like, minimal appetite. Ate half a pizza one day and a tiny bit of chicken the next, but I was worried the whole time the meds weren't working since I didn't feel like eating. Is that normal?
I'm starting to think of food cravings like a chronic condition, with a biological basis, just like chronic pain or depression. Now that the meds are helping my system work more like someone who's naturally slim, I'm actually losing weight. It's not about being weak or lacking willpower.
It's...
OMG Lucky_Pizza, I thought it was only me! I used to love cooking healthy dinners, but now I just want something quick and easy, like ramen or a slice of cake. It's so strange!
'Dare Life' 30g protein shakes. I’ve been drinking one every morning for the last 3 years. I’ve tried so many and this one does not have the after taste and actually tastes good.
I'd suggest trying a smaller dose, or maybe switching over to Tirzepatide. You could also try to sneak in high-protein snacks here and there, even when you don't feel hungry.
