Sourcing threads lock fast when posters keep pushing it - better to use DMs or the vendor section where the discussion is expected.

The double scam pattern on vial vendors when starting out is common - one no-delivery and one low-quality product is the typical initiation. Community-verified sources reduce that risk significantly.

Restart at a lower dose. The body remembers and the response usually comes back.

I agree with Metabolic_Mandy, everyone's body is different. Don't get discouraged if it doesn't work for you right away. I've heard some people respond better to one med than another. Maybe talk to your doctor about trying something else if Mounjaro isn't working.

I agree with ATL_Lois, multivitamins are often useful when restricting calories. It can be difficult to get all the micronutrients needed if you're eating less overall!

To add to that, for someone who is having a hard time eating a full meal, consider high protein alternatives like protein shakes made with protein milk, or even just adding protein powder to your coffee. A lot of people struggle with getting enough protein and calories on GLP-1s and end up...

Hey Bee_Set, in terms of food aversions, many find that focusing on easily digestible protein sources, like lean meats, fish, and plant-based protein powders, can help overcome the 'ick' factor. Small, frequent meals can also be more manageable. Unfortunately, it really varies from person to...

UPDATE: Thank you all for your responses. I appreciate the support, even those who were a bit harsh. I'm still feeling lost because everyone has different opinions! Some suggest eating more, others less. Exercise more, exercise less. I'm struggling to eat even 900 calories a day since...

In Canada here - my doctor prescribed it. Got my measurements, weight, and had my blood tested. Now I see her for a check up every couple of months!

What are your best tips for dealing with sulfur burps? I'm already avoiding foods high in sulfur, eating small portions often, using probiotics, and splitting the dose... but I still have days with awful sulfur burps and GI distress. I've been losing weight but it's hard to stick with it. I'm...

Hello everyone! I'm a Registered Dietitian specializing in GLP-1 therapies. I've noticed a lot of uncertainty on the best nutritional approaches while on these medications, and I want to help clear some things up. I truly think dietary adjustments won't solve every single digestive issue, but...
