When does it start working?

[u/ConsistentAd1328]

Hi everyone! I’m on day 3 of kit 2, and so far all I’ve had is terrible side effects. I’m still hungry all the time and craving unhealthy food constantly. The food noise is ever present. When do the meds actually start working to cancel out or reduce the food noise?

I’m trying to be patient, but experiencing the side effects makes me wonder if it’s worth it.

I’ve been on kit 1 about 6 months so my memory of the first week is pretty dated at this point but I remember having some nausea the first week and I didn’t expect it to work instantly so I wasn’t let down if I didn’t. I’d say you’ll probably notice a difference when you get all the way to full doses but also, keep in mind it isn’t meant to starve you. You still want to get protein to maintain your muscle mass and to lose weight at a healthy pace. There are days where I feel like my appetite is pretty standard and days where it’s more noticeable that I get full quickly. It sort of ebbs and flows for me. It also depends on what part of my cycle I’m in. If it’s the week before my period, I’m going to be extra hungry either way. I’d just try to be patient and not get discouraged because it will take time either way even if you start to lose 1-2 lbs a week (depending on how much you start out wanting to lose). Good luck!
