Every so often I get this sudden intense hunger spike. Usually happens early morning and fades on its own pretty fast, so easy enough to just push through. Used to get that same thing years ago on a different GLP1 option too.
15 pounds in 3 months at 1mg and the body working through the adjustment first before things started moving is a really common story. The 3 week mark on a new dose is usually too early to know if it is working. Give it more time.
If October is when a generic hits, that timing would make sense after the patent situation you're describing in Canada. The question is always how long US manufacturing catches up once there's actually a generic pathway. First-to-file generics tend to come in lower but not as low as they...
$11-13 per gram on cosmetic grade sites is consistent. The distinction matters mostly for reconstitution purity and testing documentation - the cosmetic listings usually skip both.
The rigid protein-first approach can make nausea worse when you are already sensitive. Eating something you can tolerate is better than hitting macros through discomfort. The rules matter less on bad days - getting anything in is the win.
Got my sema 10mg tested and it came back just over 8. Wasn't Janoshik so no refund, but 99.9% pure so I'm using it. Lab wasn't Jano, won't be refunding. Testing more soon. Also got hit with a $20 FedEx tariff charge a month after.
if you're new to peptides, check this site for dosages and timing - has all the protocols and reconstitution guides for like 100 different ones. super helpful if you're just starting out.
the interesting thing out of the 2 new ones is one that stops the body from eating your muscle on a deficit. lot of people struggle getting enough protein on these, which is the main thing to prevent muscle loss.
been on 5mg for 8 months, bloodwork is solid. a1c at 5.6, bmi down to overweight from obese, blood pressure way better. lost 45 lbs and don't need to lose more. doc probably won't bump my dose as long as the numbers stay good.
Third shot of 1 mg and I felt it kick in pretty much right away. Cravings dropped fast after that first one. Getting enough protein is tough but not impossible. I've been on low-carb + intermittent fasting for years, eating like two meals a day. Week one and I'm down like 4 pounds already...
Got prescribed Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes mainly back in August but also wanted to drop 30 pounds. Hit max dose at 10mg. My A1c went from 7.8 to 5.1 in 5 months and lost 19 pounds, which is solid. But now nothing really sounds good except ice cream and pizza. I end up ordering the smallest...
