Week 1 on GLP-1 - anyone else?

between one and two pm i just crash and need to sleep. eating 100g protein, could drink more water, more active than usual. wasn't an issue with the oral version, just the shots. not sure what to do about naps with two kids.
 
Exactly right. The med helps you eat in moderation but the second you stop, that control drops. You have to actually fix your eating habits while on it—move from food-for-taste to food-for-fuel. Harder than it sounds but absolutely necessary.
 
For me, stopping had to be sudden, pretty much. Tried longer tapering a few times before it stuck. Used a patch briefly so I wouldn't be miserable, then nothing. Rough first few days but it passes quicker than you'd think. Once nicotine stays in your system, you're feeding the addiction pathways. Lots of people succeed with gradual reduction, but some of us are just wired for all-or-nothing (guilty). Cold stop or close to it might be the play for people with that kind of profile. Won't work for everybody, but if you've got a pattern of addiction, it's worth considering.
