The shift from wanting food to having to remind yourself to eat is one of the more disorienting parts - after years of food being a central thought, the quiet takes adjustment. It usually becomes the new normal within a few weeks.
I have more difficulty maintaining or losing weight when I'm lifting weights or doing resistance training. My body seems to crave more energy. It's much easier when I only do cardio.
Sounds like it's time to get serious about tracking your calories. Use a food scale and measure everything. No more estimating.
It's also very likely that your body has developed a tolerance to the Rybelsus. The other option is just paying out of pocket for the meds - I think it's around $350.
Just sharing my experience - when my dose was supposed to double, I only increased it a bit. I was already seeing results and didn't want to feel sick. Maybe go a little slower if you're nervous, Lift_Clean?
Someone mentioned testing, so here's a thought: a clinic I know uses Janoshik Analytical. I've heard that's where a lot of the 'underground lab' stuff gets sent. I also heard that the supplier will sometimes provide credit if the results are posted online (but who knows).
I saw a place with R50 for $310, and another with MPS at $330. Also, another place has some R60 for $380, and even another at the same price. The first two are domestic, the second set look like they are shipping from China.
Yeah, I saw somebody mention this the other day. It's pretty handy if you're not sure how much bac water you need to add. Here's one I found: another forum
A few months back, I tried the vinegar and bac water approach with a vial of cagrisema, and it immediately got cloudy. I think the vinegar denatured the peptide, kinda like when things get weird when adding acid in cooking. The peptide was ruined and couldn't be saved. I'm not sure why it...
Thanks everyone! I appreciate the feedback and support. I think I'm going to try spacing out my injections first and see if that helps with the cost and keeps the cravings away.
He looks fantastic! I suspect it's a little more than just Ozempic, but good for him! I'm sure he also put in the effort. You don't get that ripped for sitting on the couch.
