Greasy, fatty foods are worth avoiding in general, separate from this medication entirely. But specifically on this one, the stomach really won't tolerate them well at all. Electrolytes and protein first, both solid ideas. Actually doing them consistently? That's a different story, ha. Expect...

Been taking this drug class for three months now. Zero reduction in food noise. Barely any weight lost. Putting real effort into protein, fiber, water, and eating enough overall. Bumping up to a full milligram tomorrow. Genuinely hopeful this finally kicks things into gear. The sugar cravings...
