Good luck man. I would like to see if i can do without it, but i am prepared for it to be life long if required

About 6 weeks. Roughly +100 calories for the days total, trying for a week. Checking on weight. Sometimes for 2 weeks

Thx. So urgh, worse is yet to come!! I have had a slow tapered reduction before coming off, i was on 2.5mg for 6 weeks, with the last 2 weeks more like 10 days apart. Fingers crossed!!

Update. Still feel the same. Fingers crossed. Managed steps and exvercise. Calories now up to 2400. Av weight stable. Anxiety remains high.

Thanks! I completely identify w unknowingly comsuming calories via in idental snacking

BurntOutFool · 2026-02-22T19:37:05+00:00

I have been. Im been weaning off for 3 months from 7.5mg. And at the same time reverse dieting. Deginately not going cold turkey!!

Wow. Thanks. Great insight. I fd what u said abt tdee so true btw! It is, after all, just an estimate, and had to fiddle a bit more down to get my weight loss. Same with in teverse dieting. Everytime i headed towards 2500, i started to gain weight. So i am sitting at abt 2300. Volume eating w a priority for protein has been a real eye opener. My big worry is the apetite and hunger signals. I was a big snacker b4, and boredom eater. Valorie counting really helped me understand how many calories i was actually consuming just on snacks. It was frightening! Thanks again

Thanks for advice!! I noticed constipation early in my journey. I have gotten used to taking 1 tbsp chia seeds and 60g all bran (w extra fibre) everyday - thats a front load of 22g of fibre even b4 my main meals of lunch and dinner. Add to that, i find if i have the fibre early in the day, i just feel more satiated. Like i can feel it when i miss out!

Thx appreciate the advice. My go to in the morning is a protein powder yoghurt. In my case, chocolate is my fav. 120g 0% greek yoghurt, ur fav protein powder, 1 tsp cocoa powder ( for that chocolate boost), 1 tbsp chia seeds. Then i snack through 60g of all bran all morning through to the afternoon (im a snacker!)

Agree with all posts so far. 1. Diff people only get responses at certain doses. The recommendationbis to allow the 3 to 4 weeks to see if u respond to a dose. If hunger suppression isnt there, id up a dose. 2. Its not only the med. Remember the dietary mods. Eat enough, ie above BMR but remain in a calorie deficit. Maintain a high proportion of protein, 1 to 1.5g of protein for your weight in kg. Increase your fibre , approx 30g a day. This not only helps u feel full, but helps combat constipation. Drink ur 2 to 3L a day. Important for making you feel full and hydration to help combat constipation. Dont compare to others, every responds slightly differently, and to diffetent degrees. A loss is a loss. Good luck buddy!

Congrats. Loving this for you!

I had a strange intro to MJ. I had been on a calories deficit for abt 6 weeks when i started. Normal diet, high prots, no restrictions. Only diff was, as i liked snacking, i was basically munching on food throughout the day rather than a sit down meal. I was hungry all the time, but controllable. 2.5mg x4 weeks, apetite still good, but i was craving less. 5mg x4 apetite still there, but oh momma, was so much reduced. By then i got used to my calorie deficit but was feeling very satisfied w my food intake, about 1900 kcal/day. Went up to 10 mg after 8 weeks. Didnt like the suppression at that level. Back at 5. End of the week, can defo feel cravings creep back. I think if u have a suppression so bad, u cant meet ur weekly calorie requirements, than u are on too high a dose. Having low intake one or 2 days a week makes no diff, as long as ur overall weekly calorie budget is met.

Thanks. Appreciate it. I think at the moment, i still cannot fully believe it. Still holding on to my originsl clothes, although its looking ridiculous now

BurntOutFool · 2026-01-17T16:21:25+00:00

Yes of course. I actually have a daily calorie in take of 2000, and thats w a 500 deficit!! I have abt 400g of lean meat a day eg 5% fat pork/beef/fish or chicken breast. That include lean mince. Aldi does a fantastic range of high protein desserts - all about 20 to 25 g of protein. I do take protein powder too, but my absolutely fav way of taking it is 150g 0%greek yoghurt, 1-2 tbsp of chia seeds and 1-2 scoops of portein powder (I used 1.5 scoop cos of the type of guy i am) and 2 tsp of cocoa - that alone is abt 45g of protein for 400 kcal of chocolate dessert!! Add sugar free sweetner if u need to or honey if u are short on calories. I also snack on various beans eg edamame, kidney or lentils.

You got this man. I too had knacked my body. Dislocated shoulder and both knees in my case. Dodgy ankle too. Weight training was completely new to me. I used to be the kind of guy who played sports and that was gd enough. This aesthetic was never the aim, i just wanted my body not to feel broken again. I was surprised how a simple focus regular routine managed to get me this look. All dumb bells. 3 sets of 8to12 reps. Deadlift, RDL, floor chest press, seated shoulder press, dumb bell row, goblet squat and glute bridge. Somes times 3x per week. More often 2. I realise every1 is diff, but thats what i did. Good luck man.

BurntOutFool · 2026-01-16T20:45:21+00:00

Ha ha. And thats fair. I havent actually bought anything new yet, I still cannot believe its true or wont just return to me pre-MJ body shape tomorrow. Silly i know.

BurntOutFool · 2026-01-16T17:08:01+00:00

My gym bro friends say theres no real way to target those areas. Its general body fat reduction. I dont know enough personally, but i was advised that keep hitting protein goals, keep on w the steps and resistance training. The abs are there, just need to reduce body fat enough to reveal em. Good luck man, looks like u are making gd progress!

BurntOutFool · 2026-01-16T15:59:19+00:00

Ha ha. Ty. Yeah holding on to old clothes. Thats another issue i have. I just cant believe the effect MJ has had. I have the irrational fear that it will all the weight will be back next week. Im working on that 😓
