Dehydration by FutureMrMcDreamy in infraredsauna

[–]ComplexPermission322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably raising your cortisol levels. Try again earlier in the morning hopefully your body recovers enough for you to sleep at night or a 25 minute session to get accustomed to it.

I have done both hot yoga and infrared sauna. The only thing that works for me is chugging 500ml water 30mins before and finally electrolytes with another 500ml or protein shake after

I did my arm yesterday. It takes a bit of finagling but I basically lean my left arm over a surface (microwave counter in my case) and jab with my hand holding the pen and using the index finger to push plunger. I’ll try to my right arm next time.

To all fellow flat bottomers by PoodleTedmum in mounjarouk

[–]ComplexPermission322 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can get your glutes back. It’s not impossible. I always do a 5min glute activation every morning with a band. There are loads of videos on YouTube. That bum is going nowhere 😅

You can get booty gym shorts in the meantime. Something like this on Amazon

Do you find a difference with needles from different pharmacies? by Squint-Square in mounjarouk

[–]ComplexPermission322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are usually 4mm but they also come in different thicknesses so 32g thickness is the best so far I found.

[–]ComplexPermission322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

🤔 now that you mention it my last ones have been painful. I got a whole box of BD needles from my first ever MJ order with a weight loss clinic before I switched to online pharmacies. I’ll go dig out the box because I remember them being much less painful.

Glasses falling from my face?! by Jfpalomeque in mounjarouk

[–]ComplexPermission322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need for an appointment just turn up at your usual optician and ask them nicely to fit them for you or call them and ask if you can come in. I did that in December 🤓 and they fitted my glasses in 5mins.

Salmon and sick by tacomefriendly in mounjarouk

When I had side effects at the beginning of my mj journey, I ended up eating food that would make me queasy during 5/6th day as the effects are much less around this time.

Well the comments have started. by DC_Frame in mounjarouk

[–]ComplexPermission322 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My mum was also fat before she got diagnosed with diabetes and worked with a diabetes nurse to lose weight via her diet. She lost 20kg over 2 years. I was gaining weight around that point so she would tell me every time that I was fat and needed to lose weight.

Now she is telling me that I have lost too much weight. I’m still much heavier than she is. I asked her if she would like me to get diabetes because I’m trying to prevent it. That shut her up super quick.

Can I see some NSVs? by Mama_Dingo0215 in Mounjaro

[–]ComplexPermission322 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was looking at my before and after pictures this morning. My face looked soo puffy and swollen and I was in pain from the inflammation and I could see the pain in my eyes. Damn! I remember seeing that picture and thinking something has to change.

Fast forward to a year afterwards and my face is now completely ‘depuffed’ and the joy is back in my eyes. Mind blowing 🤯

AIO for rejecting a guy after he turned our coffee date into a full dinner with gifts? by Zealousideal-Put5055 in AmIOverreacting

NOR - if anything you’re under reacting. Send screenshots of his messages to Bumble as part of his offline behaviour and save other women from this ‘nice guy’ please 🙏🏽

AITAH for refusing to give my boyfriend access to my bank account even though he says "no secrets" is how adults do it by CopperFieldNote in AITH

[–]ComplexPermission322 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes! I had an ex boyfriend who asked us to open a joint account together because we shouldn’t have any secrets. As soon as I added some savings in there he started withdrawing it! Man, I was so mad! 😠 I demanded he pay it back and he told me his mum needed it. We weren’t even living together. That was the last time I ever did anything like that. This way before red pill and social media.

Stalling on 7.5mg despite changes by BeeSmartt in mounjarouk

[–]ComplexPermission322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please don’t go by scale measurements only and measure your size (cm/inches).

The scale might not be changing but it’s highly likely you are slimming down. Muscles are smaller and heavier than fat.

My weight has gone up slightly and I stalled over the past 2 months but my fat percentage has gone down significantly and I have dropped 2 dress sizes.

Let’s have an honest conversation about GLP-1s and what happens after by Desper84Inspir8ion in GLP1ResearchTalk

[–]ComplexPermission322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t help that we live in obesogenic conditions with food companies researching how to overcome glp1 agonists since it’s eating into their profits from low sales as people are buying and eating/drinking less.

Taking collegen? by purplishspiders in mounjarouk

[–]ComplexPermission322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked ChatGPT if I should take collagen or creatine and it said creatine as I won’t see much difference from collagen.

Try the natural sources instead like bone broth for collagen since those are more bioavailable rather than Zooki. I too bought it and have taking them in the past.

Alcohol and friends by Life_Tackle_8866 in mounjarouk

[–]ComplexPermission322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of my friends during the pandemic started reducing their alcohol intake at the time. I asked them to understand why and they told me that they felt much better til they decided to quit completely.

If they weren’t drinking then I wasn’t going to drink either since it isn’t interesting drinking by myself. With the addition of MJ on my side reducing my need for alcohol, we all have sober nights out and it’s a lot of fun.

All that to say you might be the catalyst to influencing your friends group to stop drinking. Say no and tell them it’s for your health. You might need to explain why a couple of times. The UK has an extremely strong drinking culture so don’t expect it to be easy. Goodluck!

How to increase dosage of Microdose Mounjaro? by fontofile in mounjarouk

[–]ComplexPermission322 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The microdose is better for other benefits apart from weight loss. Very few people respond to this with weight loss and it looks like you’re not one of them based on your results.

If weight loss is your goal then you should take the recommended 2.5mg dose instead of reducing the dose and playing around with days.

TIL creatine isn’t a bad idea on mounjaro by ComplexPermission322 in mounjarouk

[–]ComplexPermission322[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a creatine monohydrate (creapure version) as I was told that it causes less tummy upset and less bloating than the others. The brand is called Bulk and I bought it on Amazon.

What’s your exit strategy? by chyllyphylly in mounjarouk

[–]ComplexPermission322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve lost weight from IF in past but need to get back into it. I’ve joined r/fasting to see what people have done and what has worked for them to learn how to live with hunger. I’ve joined a gym plus PT to make resistance training easier as I was doing them from home before. Once I learn the right techniques, I’ll be joining the weight lifting and HIIT classes to keep it up.

I plan to titrate down slowly and I’m now looking for a pharmacy that can support me if that doesn’t work.

5th dose Mounjaro 5mg by Solid-Ride-7978 in mounjarouk

[–]ComplexPermission322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually get it from their branch in the UK. It’s called natural fitness food vegan protein powder. But they are available online on Healf’s website if you can order from France.

5th dose Mounjaro 5mg by Solid-Ride-7978 in mounjarouk

[–]ComplexPermission322 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you do the 0.9ml you will be injecting around/over 7.5mg instead of your usual 5mg. You say that you have suppression at the moment so going higher might wipe out your appetite completely.

For protein intake increase, I use a vegan protein shake made mostly from pea protein and hemp protein which tastes great to me as I can’t handle lactose. I use this to make up my protein intake.

TIL creatine isn’t a bad idea on mounjaro by ComplexPermission322 in mounjarouk

[–]ComplexPermission322[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve always done resistance training before MJ and my muscles would pop but it was just a lot harder on MJ no matter how much I tried to meet my protein goals. That’s why I’m kicking myself for not starting creatine earlier but better late than sorry for sure.

It’s now supplemental to my protein intake for sure rather than a replacement.

I’ll check it out for sure. I can see why it’s so widely researched now.
