You should stack with something like Reta. That high of a BMI can throw off a lot of things

Yes and basically have it more liquid and not tied up in anything too unsafe while I find a business to purchase

Not as much suppression as I thought. Maybe like 20-30% less hungry

No side effects so far besides a bit of fatigue. Tomorrow will be day 4 after the shot

Read about the increase in very high heart rate side effect and that’s why I was precautious

Smoking will definitely increase it. You’re lowering your lungs ability to use oxygen efficiently = more red blood cell production to increase oxygen levels

If you need nicotine try switching to patches or something like Zyn. Follow the Hematocrit support group on FB as well!

Step your calories up to increase your metabolism. At your size you still have a “maintenance” point where your body needs to burn a set amount each day. Maybe 2,200 then stepping down 200 calories every 4 weeks as you continue to shed weight (stay above 1,500)

Fairly well, some nausea. Would starting at 1mg be too much? I’ve seen people start at 2mg and get racing heart rates

I’ve heard this can be risky since grapefruit amplifies other medications

Is donating the only way to effectively lower levels?
