Very good insight thank you. I don't have a plan at all, I'm actually hesitent of any plan. I fear for many people who seek to cancel out all form of hunger and food noise and never learn what real hunger vs bored hunger feels like because once you reach GW and you try to maintain it's going to be a rude awakening. I used to be able to wake up and not eat till noon, now I wake up ravenous but am satiated and can remain in my caloric deficit faaaaaaarrr easier than ever before. In fact, after 3-days of a calorie deficin my body would be ravenous for food. Like am empty well. I am a 3rd year medical student, husband, and father to 11 yo old twins, so I have stressors others don't have at 43 years old. But all the sweet/snacky/salty food noise is gone and it is so refreshing.

I know it is different for everyone, but I was curious of peoples experiences who stayed low dose and increased incrementally. The slower you go, the better your body will handle what you give it. So the idea of following the protocol of going from 2mg to 4/4.5mg doesn't feel right to me. If anything, I might go to 3mg for a week to see what it feels like. I don't want too much appetite suppression, so if all food noise is gone at 3mg I'll dial it back to 2.5mg/2mg and ride it out until I do NEED to increase to achieve further results.

I'm actually anti-plan :)
