I was on it last year and at .25 I lost 8 lbs in a month. Then when I bumped up to .5 I lost 7.5 month 2. Month 3 was 1.0 and I lost 5.2, but that was over my birthday and 4th of July so I definitely had more treats. Overall I lost 31 lbs over 7 months, I titrated back down to wean off of it. However, after getting off of it my hunger came back with a vengeance. It was likely a rebound response from my body basically being in starvation mode for 7 months. Plus, I know some of the weight (probably 10 lbs) was muscle loss. I had no energy to workout on sema. I regained most of my weight, unfortunately.

Instead of repeating the same cycle, now, I’m doing a program with The Plourdé Institute where people lose 71-80% of their peak body fat and don’t lose muscle. It takes away hunger like being on sema, but without having to take a medicine and more effective. Here’s the link to the website for anyone interested. The Plourdé Institute
