I'm now on day 18 and up to 0.6ml × 4 clicks. Im really enjoying this so far. I'm not having any nasty side effects fortunately. It just stops me thinking about food all the time.
I make sure to prioritise protein and fibre, which is naturally helping me make healthier choices.
I typically don't feel like eating til I've been awake for a few hours. I'm still going to the gym, so usually eat breakfast after that. I've been making chia seed pudding with whey protein and flaxseed added, along with some berries. Then I might have another coffee with collagen creamer mid afternoon. Then a normal family dinner, albeit smaller portions than before as my appetite is reduced. tonight was seabass with airfried sweet potato and broccoli.
No longer thinking about food throughout the day or after the kids go to bed (this is typically when I'd have a couple of drinks and lots of snacks, now I'm just drinking water). I went to a party on Friday night. There was a huge buffet and I was simply uninterested in it. I had one drink that I sipped slowly, and zero food. No interest. Really bizarre but so empowering, and made me realise I'd have previously be piling my plate high and stuffing myself as I could never say no even if I wasn't hungry.
So, in short, I'm loving this. With previous diets, I felt like there was always something that would sabotage me - like a party or a stressful day or a holiday, anything like that would make me blow a diet and then binge. With this, I feel like as long as I keep taking the injections, I can face all of those things without fear of how ill eat or get back on track after.
I'm down 12lbs so far too 🙌
