Glycine does not meaningfully raise blood sugar in standard doses - minimal glycemic impact. As a sweetener it does not trigger insulin response the way glucose does. Food quality and macro balance matter more than any single choice.

Big vials make sense once dose is stable and storage is handled correctly. 50mg at 2.5mg weekly covers 20 weeks. The per-unit cost drops at scale but you need to be confident in the source before committing to that much.

138 bone density at 75 is genuinely solid. Z-scores at that age have different reference frames - the -1 to -2 range means different things than it does at 50.

There are other good medications specifically for food cravings and addiction, like Contrave. You could also try walking or water aerobics/swimming, which are easier on your body. There's always another way.

Are you sure the supplements aren't causing the problem?

The 48-96 hour thing tracks perfectly for me. I inject Friday night and Sunday-Monday is unbearable, by Wednesday I'm fine, then Friday night injection again and the cycle restarts. Knowing this in advance would have saved me so much "is something seriously wrong" panic in the first month.

I recently tried beef jerky and it’s amazing.

Thanks for the tip! I hadn't thought about that. I'll definitely ask my doctor about maintenance dosing! Right now, I'm just focused on these first few months!

It makes me sad that you described a childhood treat as a "guilty" pleasure.

Totally regretting my vegan bakery binge... I split four pastries with a friend, all oily and sugary. Later, I barely ate anything until dinner, then a few bites of brownie. I felt absolutely AWFUL. Not doing that again!

I've used regular BAC for everything else so far. You didn't totally waste your money! 🥰

I think it's hard to see on myself because I've dropped nearly 20 pounds and still feel the same, but people keep saying I look slimmer, so I guess I'll trust them and the scale! But really, it's very visible! Thanks everyone!

This happens to me now and then, even on a 2.15 dose. I keep water and some juice by my bed, and a few sips usually makes the feeling go away. I would need to be *really* starving to get out of my warm bed at 3 AM!

I've read that sodium chloride BAC isn't the best with Reta. Check out this thread I found: another forum

I'm prescribed Pepcid and Protonix for heartburn, which comes at random from the delayed digestion and my history of GERD. They definitely reduce the symptoms, and copious amounts of water also help. It's worth seeing if your doctor will prescribe an antacid or a proton pump inhibitor; they're...

Wow... I think I see my jawline again!!! Celebrating almost 3 months!

I find that having just half a protein shake right before bed helps a ton!

I have chronic gastritis and the injection makes me a little nauseous but it's not nearly as bad as the nausea I had when my gastritis was worse lol. It hasn't made me throw up, but of course everyone is different. Eating smaller meals more often and eating plain foods on the day of and after...

What effect do creatine supplements have on kidney function? I've been told to monitor my levels to avoid harming my kidneys-- is creatine still a viable option?
