The combination of quitting alcohol and appetite suppression running concurrently is a significant load - GLP-1s and alcohol share the same reward-dampening mechanism, so dropping both at once compounds the appetite effect. One meal is fine short-term but protein and electrolyte targets slip...

The food noise returning after stopping is one of the clearest signals of what the medication was actually doing - it's very common to underestimate how loud it was until it comes back. The 10lb regain in that window is also typical. The relief of being back in control is real, and the 0.25mg...

The 4-week rebuild window after restarting is real and most people underestimate it - the system needs time to reach a therapeutic level again before expecting weight movement. Forcing a dose increase early is less effective than waiting for the base level to establish first, then stepping up if...

first dose today at 0.25 and already feeling the food noise drop. have a slow digestion thing naturally but the noise made it impossible to control eating. hoping this keeps up.

You'll gotta eat fewer calories than you were eating. That's the honest part. This stuff just helps us actually do that. Everything else follows from that one thing.

Could be a blood sugar thing — low blood sugar can feel like what you're describing.

Serious weight loss usually brings a confidence boost. More confident, you're "out there," get attention you didn't before—flirting becomes intoxicating if you're not used to it. Surgeon warned me about this when I asked about bariatric surgery side effects.

tried bumping up from 12 to 13, 14, 15 in week blocks when i was on mounjaro, then back to 12. honestly couldn't feel any difference. no extra side effects, no difference in weight loss either. stayed the same steady progress i already had.

No, never *force* it. Some nights I skip dinner because I’m not hungry. Or I'll eat an apple or grapes or chips because I'm not perfect and feel full.

Eat something! Fruit, avocado toast - eating leads to more weight loss.

It's probably because fat weighs less than muscle and other tissues. You look great!

Wowzers, amazing job!

Thanks for the info everyone! It sounds like I should hold off on ARA-290 until I finish my current protocol with TB-500 and BPC-157. I think I'll also look into Thymosin Alpha 1 to help with my immune system

Hey quick question, I am on a 1mg pen and taking 0.25mg doses. Do I have to throw it out after 8 weeks even if there's medicine left?

That's awesome to hear about your results, Cut! If you were to stop taking it now, would you revert back to how you were before? My main concern is having to take Tadalafil long-term. Seems like there are lots of potential issues with taking it for extended periods. I just started looking into...

I haven't heard that before, Cut. Do you have any links or articles about that? Tadalafil is the generic, right? Would it work the same, and would I just take the 2.5mg daily dose?

Hey all, I'm currently using a combo of TB-500 and BPC-157 to help heal from an injury. I'm also wanting to start ARA-290 to address some neuropathy I've been dealing with. Should I go ahead and start taking the ARA-290 along with the TB-500 and BPC-157, or would it be better to wait until...

Wow, you look awesome! Congrats! How did you convince your doctor to customize the dosage for you?

Congrats on the progress! Have you noticed how your arms seem to lay closer to your body? I've seen it in so many progress pics and it's such a cool change.

Wow, you're crushing it! I'm starting soon (waiting for my prescription to arrive). How long between these photos? I'm excited and nervous!
