Ozempic wins: Same me, better body!

I think the strategy works better when you go harder but space it out more. The body starts adapting pretty quick, and with something newer like GLP1 we don't really have longterm tolerance data to lean on. Bigger doses hit harder so you stay ahead of adaptation.
 
Getting ready to shift to keeping stable and realized the number on the scale matters less now. Looking at body composition instead - aiming for around 12-15% for men based on photos I've seen. Think I could stay in that range comfortably.
 
Balance the risk of staying where you are against any risk from the med. Get enough water, fiber, protein (supplements fine if needed) and GI side effects drop way down. Your doctor can help with nausea meds if it comes up. Good luck on the whole journey toward feeling better.
 
Insurance coverage can be the biggest hurdle honestly. First step is calling to see what's on your formulary. If nothing covers then look at Lilly direct - their Zepbound is the same medication as Mounjaro but cheaper, starting around 249 dollars for lowest dose. Novo Nordisk also has a patient assistance program if you qualify financially.
 
224 to 149 at 24 is a significant metabolic shift and the age works in favor of muscle retention through it. GI regularity on GLP-1s is genuinely underrated as a quality-of-life indicator - the hydration and fiber angle gets less attention than nausea, but it's more persistent for many people.
