Second week on the dual-action medication at 5mg, and honestly I question whether that mental food chatter is truly quieter or if I'm just imagining it.
That said, I think I'm responding reasonably well overall.
Currently doing a sixteen-eight fasting window. Once I break the fast around noon, meals that would normally have me going back for seconds now leave me completely full. Sometimes I genuinely just don't feel like eating at all. Still get the occasional craving though, peanuts specifically, though a small handful satisfies it without any problem. Originally assumed this medication would wipe out cravings entirely, so curious if others still notice occasional cravings despite an otherwise strong response.
A few notes so far:
Dropped just over 2kg by day seven (unclear how much is water versus actual fat)
Nothing rough side-effect-wise
Sulfur-smelling burps showed up for a day, milder than some accounts I've read, gone after one night's sleep
My fitness tracker shows resting heart rate running a touch above baseline, though nothing's triggered an abnormal reading alert
Overall feeling pretty solid, just trying to gauge what counts as a typical early response. Curious to
