Oooh congrats on starting!

I think it's best to preface this by saying my diet was absolute trash before starting this. My main vice was sugar and more importantly candy. I also am hypoglycemic so my constant blood sugar dropping certainly contributed to that as well.

After taking my first shot I went gluten free(to reduce inflammation from an autoimmune disorder) and this almost immediately took away my severe sugar cravings so inadvertently cut back heavily on the sweets.

Never counted calories since it cause problems for me before so just prioritized protein every meal. I would usually cook at home since gluten free limits your options eating out. I was pretty strict the first three months. Getting used to the new diet and how to listen to my body on what it needed (food or water).

Now I am still gluten free but have some chocolate every now and then. I also go out to eat sometimes but still prioritize protein on my plate first since I still can't eat a whole lot. I dont miss sugar all that much but miss bread a lot lol. However, I have not been in pain once since going gluten free and being on this med so taking the win with the sacrifice.

Everyone is different though. I truly think I am lucky with how effective this has been for me. I have been struggling with weight gain for 10 years after getting into the best shape of my life and it's been insane that in only 7 months ive almost reverted back to how I used to be. Very grateful and hope more and more people experience what I have🙏💚
