re: The GLP-1 Protocol

Great post. As someone who used Mounjaro and got great results, I would add a few things in.

1) The 5mg is going to be the highest for most will need unless they are severely obese. The higher the dose, the more side effects were reported.

2) Supplement with Magnesium daily.

3) Collagen supplements for skin

4) Take your shot at night before bed. The first 12 hour are where people reposed nausea. Ask your provider for under the tongue nausea meds.
4b) Take your weekly shot on Wednesday/Thursday. The strongest effects of the drug will be hitting you during the weekend.

5) A diet/lifestyle change greatly increases the effects of the medication. There are people who don’t change diet and did fine, but low carb will help with digestion issues and help get into an even lower caloric deficit. This will also make intermittent fasting much easier.

6) When you eat, eat as slow as possible. By your 4-5th bite of food, you’re not going to want to eat much more. You can eat more if you hork it down, but that’s defeating the purpose in my mind.

7) Drink water!!!!!

I started Feb 28. I’ve just titrated up from 25 to 50 and it’s going well. I’ve gained 3 lbs of muscle and loss 15 lbs. I’m struggling to get enough calories and it’s almost entirely animal protein, protein shakes and green leafy vegetables. I do weekly weigh ins and my blood work was excellent prior to starting with no medical issues other than well controlled high blood pressure and an esophageal restriction issue . The diet I eat now is a godsend for that esophageal issue as I feel like my GI tract is getting a rest. I also can’t seem to get the water I need. I figure I’ll look noticeably thinner in another month and looking forward to seeing where this goes over the next 11 months.
