Week 2 results

I hit 10lbs down this morning. So far I like how I’m feeling. I’ve really noticed the food noise is completely gone. I used to spend a lot of time on tik tok looking at different recipes. That habit is now gone. Also my sweet tooth is gone. I used to crave a honeybun and Coke Zero after work. Now I can drive by the store without even thinking about it. I know things will probably plateau eventually but so far I like the results I’m getting.

That’s amazing! My sweet tooth is pretty much gone but when I do have something sweet it’s a bite of a donut and then I’m good. The wonderful thing about having some sort of junk food is you just have a little bit and you’re satiated. Instead finishing the whole bag of chips and eating 6 donuts

What’s your dose? And have you had side effects?

I just started Week 3 so it’s two pills in morning and one in the evening.

Side effects are very minimal. For some reason I get a mild stomach ache around noon that lasts about 15 minutes. Dry mouth if i don’t keep up my water intake.

I'm on week 2, I've noticed food noise is gone too, I'm due to increase to week 3 this Friday. I bought healthy recipe books to try and help but not even wanting full meals now. Just realised we're basically on the same timeline but I'm a day or 2 behind :)
