My go-to weight loss meal

Exactly! It's about making better choices and feeling full on less, not starving yourself. I make sure to get plenty of protein, fruits, and veggies every day.
 
My son called me out at lunch the other day - apparently I can't have a meal without bringing things back to medication. Maybe I'm a little too focused on it right now, haha.
 
28 lbs since mid-February is solid and sustainable. Not chasing extreme numbers but actually improving your baseline - that's the smart approach.
 
Best weight loss tool you've tried is huge praise. Seeing fear mongering countered with real positive experience helps folks make informed choices.
 
seen tons in FB groups who lost good weight, had good habits on it, then stopped the shot and it all came back. food noise, rapid gain, lots of inflammation. rough cycle.
 
eating lots of protein and lifting so i don't think i'll lose much muscle. can't work out more than once a week right now though because of a health thing, so taking it slow. hate pinning CU daily even though it doesn't sting much—afraid to stop and deal with loose skin later.
 
This is so true. The mental shift alone is huge. Instead of thinking about food all day, thinking about workouts, meal planning, clothes that fit—I can just live. Still stuff to work on, but now I have actual space in my brain for other things.
 
my morning routine is pretty set. start with a smoothie - frozen berries, spinach, ag1, protein powder, metamucil with water. then take an apple cider vinegar supplement. that gets things moving. breakfast is usually 3 fried eggs after that. add in a latte later with nonfat milk and protein powder and i'm hitting about 75g protein that way.
 
Honestly I want to stack compounds because I have zero problem eating huge meals. Struggle is getting the right protein-to-calorie ratio without going over while eating actual food, not protein powder.
 
58g in 365 is the ratio that keeps the deficit working regardless of whether appetite suppression is in play - the meal structure is the constant, not the medication status.
 
If you were low-carb before, some of that gain is water. Muscle holds glycogen (a sugar for fuel) and it pulls 3x its weight in water along with it. That's why dropping carbs feels like a fast drop, and adding them back feels like you put on way more than makes sense.
