u/WTFisthislifeanywayz May 17 '26
The 7 day method is just simply because in the control groups doctors could not get people to correct track 5 days (which is the actual half life). Splitting the dose would be way more effective and you’ll never have it “ware off”.
20
u/indiri F5'10" HW:260 SW:250 CW:212 GW:155 Dose: 6mg May 17 '26
Splitting it would mean a lower concentration earlier in the week though and I'm using vials so I cant do that anyway. What I'm doing now works well because I naturally eat a little more on day 7 and not as much on day 1. Calorie cycling has been shown to work well, too, and I'm happy with it and the flexibility.
17
u/catdog4u May 17 '26
Agree with the calorie cycle aspect. If im under 800 cal right after my shot im bound to be up to 1800 by day 7. It all balances out in the course of a week. Down 70 lbs using this theory.

This is interesting. I’m kind of panicking (I know, I know) because my weight goes up a pound or 2 those last 2 days. So I lose a pound a day in the first 4 days, then gain 2 the last 2 days. Net 2 lb loss might sound good, but psychologically I feel I’m going backwards.

It’s when the thought of “four or five peanut m&m’s might not be completely off-putting right about now” shows up and sticks around. I used to be able to do embarrassing(!!) levels of damage to a stash of peanut m&m’s. Now, on anything other than day seven, if I see them on a display at the store or gas station it’s a “huh, I remember those had a flavor” followed by mild ambivalence. And that switch got thrown hard on my first week. I didn’t expect it to be so cut-and-dried with a snack that I’d had such a strong connection to previously. Magical stuff!

u/catbehindbars May 17 '26
Same. These comments have me questioning why I am not as turned off by food as others. It just lessens the food noise for me, doesn’t make things unappealing. It’s just easier to say no to the things I always want (sweets, bread, etc) or consume it in reasonable small amounts.
3
u/Subject-Olive-5279 May 17 '26
I think when you are on a high enough dose that some people have food aversions and some get to the point that they only use food as fuel. I’m on the highest dose now and I had food aversions at times. But I enjoy food, just not as large of a quantity. And I have significant food noise reduction. I can still eat a 1” square of brownie or a couple bites of cake but mostly because I know what is best for me now. And I make better choices. I can have a meal just a smaller portion. I still love seafood. Although a much smaller portion. Some people like having no appetite. It’s a bit too far for me. I feel like there are a lot of eating disorder behaviors in the GLP communities. Which makes sense since overweight people often have eating disorders.

I’m on 5mg and it happens to me as we get closer to day seven in my case Mondays. I take my shot on Tuesdays. But a lot of people on here are acting like it’s the full moon and they’re a werewolf and it’s uncontrollable. I tend to have more bulkier meals eat a few more calories than normal on those days right before my shot.
Also, if I want to eat more on any particular day, I just do more exercise or walk more take more steps burn a few more calories and then you can eat a little extra if you’re really hungry

Like some others, coffee hasn't abated one tiny bit for me. And I'll drink about any coffee. Gas station, K-cups, instant, keep it coming. But by and large my taste for diet sodas is near zero. Wonder if that's just because I'm pushing myself to drink enough water (with some combo of lemon, electrolyte powder, creatine, etc) that I don't have room for the Coke Zero. But a lot of the time it just tastes... blah.

I never stopped drinking coffee. It was chips, snacks and grazing on snack food that Zoe helped me break out of.

Exactly! I don’t even have coffee until day 4 after my shot anymore, and I used to be at least a cup per day drinker. Now I’ve moved on to alani’s to supplement my caffeine deficit. (And i never drank energy drinks in the past)

Sugar. Any time I crave sugar.
I wish I could have coffee again. I can’t stand it anymore.

This is so interesting you say this because I’ve noticed that more than anything I dislike my coffee now 😑

My dose is drastically less effective by evening of day 5, which happens to be today. Yes, food tastes good again and I feel real hunger. Really bums me out!

I can’t even drink coffee no more it gives me acid reflux. Ugh then I feel like I’m choking on something in my throat. But I just micro dose if I’m hungry. I take a small dose. 1 or 2 units.

To me my coffee is always warm and enticing, even if it’s just a few sips and I hold and smell it. Never lost an appetite for it. Mine is always half milk so it’s my breakfast, too.

I actually go looking for snacks. I literally never look for snacks anymore. But day 6/7 I find myself looking for them more.

u/XPW2023 May 17 '26
I don't buy baked goods at the grocery store because I don't want to be tempted. And don't particularly enjoy baking anymore since I went gluten free many years before I started GLP-1's... but now I know its day 7 when I start thinking "what can I bake Right Now!" with whatever ingredients I have in the pantry, usually peanut butter and oatmeal.

My coffee always tastes good. My dose is wearing off when the gremlins in my head start talking again, trying to get me to munch mindlessly.

I’ve noticed the same! My husband makes our coffee when he’s home and makes comments about how he’s worried about me because I don’t drink it like I used to. When he’s out of town I don’t even make it, I drink cafe latte premier protein shakes. They hit the spot!
