Just starting out... your advice?

Hong Kong Yanpep International
Second week in and doing fine, no major side effects to report. Logging every meal and drink carefully to hold a calorie deficit while still eating enough. You can even ask an AI assistant to help calculate that for you.

Hitting the gym four to five times weekly for strength training.

Took body measurements before my very first dose so I can compare progress monthly too. Weigh in weekly, same day as my injection.

Drink plenty of water and lean on unprocessed foods first and foremost, then fill in protein gaps with supplements only if you genuinely need to.

Don't skip vegetables either, your gut will thank you for the fiber.

Barely dealt with nausea myself, maybe a touch on day one. Ate smaller portions to manage that. Just make sure you're still eating enough overall.

For context, I'm just over five feet tall and started around 78kg. Currently averaging 1300-1400 calories daily, following a Mediterranean-style diet.
 
Just had shot number two at 2.5mg yesterday. Also on metformin, weighing north of 360lbs. Down 8lbs (3.6kg) after the first week. Dealt with a lot of gas, bloating, and some diarrhea. It did keep me fuller for longer after meals, and I noticed food just wasn't on my mind nearly as much as usual. After the second injection I had a mild headache and some burping, feeling better today with nothing else to report.
