I'm sorry but that's not how it works for weight loss. You have to be in a calorie deficit to lose the weight . You have to plan what you are eating. You have to eat high protein nutritional food so you don't lose lots of muscle instead of fat. Where did you get it from as I thought most pharmacists gave out this guidance.
First of all, it's not technically correct to say that you HAVE to be in calorie deficit for weight loss. You can acheive fantastic weight loss on a low carb/keto diet which is often very high calorie due to the amount of fats eaten. Until you are well into ketosis and don't want to eat much food at all, of any sort, your calore intake can be really quite big but you can still be losing, providing you are eating very few carbs. The deeper into ketosis you are, the less you want and need to eat anyway, so even if all your almost all of your calories are coming from fats, you won't be putting weight on, you;ll be losing it.
It's how the body processes the calories you eat, and what those calories are made up of which will determine weight loss. Of course focusing on calorie deficit alone by a combination of strict calorie control and exercise can also work if you have the discipline to stick to eat, but it's not the only way.
Secondly, I do understand that I can't eat a big serving of full English for breakfast, a big serving of fish and chips for lunch, three Mars bars for snacks and a big serving of chinese takeaway for dinner and still drop weight purely because I am injecting Wegovy.
My point is that I was expecting the Wegovy to have far more of an effect on my appetite after 5 weeks than it has. As I said, I wanted to allow the Wegovy do its thing without any particular effort from me to moderate what I eat, to get a true measure of how effective it is. If I went from a place of not dieting at all, to very consciously dieting/calorie counting and exercising alongside the Wegovy then I'd never really know to what extent it was helping.
I already know I can achieve weight loss using one of two or three different methods without Wegovy. But knowing it in theory and being to resist tempation and stick to a consistent regime in the long term are two different things. Hence why people opt to try Wegovy. They are tired of doing it the other way, and failing. The Wegovy is supposed to do some of the hard work for them, by taking away the urges and the appetite in the first place.
By the way, just to be clear, I do not and have not EVER eaten the way I've described above. I am not a morbidly obese person with a serious junk food addiction. Just a size 16 middle aged woman who cooks well and eats well, has occasional treats but not endless junk, gets plenty of vegetables etc, but piles on weight easily by eating what most people consider 'normal' food, because I have a healthy appetite and I enjoy things like bread, pasta, cheese, potatoes and a couple of glasses of wine most nights.
I want to feel fuller much quicker and to not get cravings for the 'wrong' things. I want the constant food noise to stop. And to some extent it has, but my appetite once I am in front of a meal has not noticably decreased as yet. Except perhaps with my evening meal, but that's usually because I've eaten in the afternoon, which seems to be when I am hungriest.
My point was that in general, I can still eat and more importably, want to eat as frequently as I did before Wegovy and can usually finish the same size portions that I did previously. That tells me that so far, the Wegovy isn't really working.
Anyway, today I move up to 0.1mg so let's see.
