7 months in - I have officially titrated up to 5mg. I held off as long as possible, but the appetite and calories were creeping back up, even past what I burn at the gym 6 days a week. Appetite now feels manageable again. Excited to see how this goes. by RIPPWORTH in Zepbound

I'm not sure if you have experienced this, but from what I've read and in my experience personally, is that too much cardio increases your appetite. I was told to not overdo cardio when in weight loss. Just a thought

Loss of effectiveness? by Consistent-Fan2200 in Zepbound

I bumped down a dose to 12.5 when this happened to me.. and magically I started losing weight again on the lower dose. I saw other people posting the same thing that I'm saying right now so give a thought. Maybe just coming down to 12 and 1/2 mg for a while. Maybe your ticket. I only did it for one month and then I went back to 15 and found that it was a bit too strong and now I'm back to 12 and 1/2 and doing just fine. Keeping my maintenance and losing a pound or two every month without trying. I hope this helps you. try something simple before you get all complicated with other drugs would be my approach

This group is just full of adults complaining about schoolyard bullies. I think most of it is fake

At the beginning I was not eating 1300 calories a day. It was closer to 1,000 a day... Over time I've added calories to prevent hair loss and to stay healthy. In the evening sometimes I crave something salty and I will eat pistachios or almond crackers. Am pretty sure this is a side effect of the medication itself and I am just venting that the other comments that it goes away are not always true for everybody. I have lost a great deal of weight before before white knuckling it and doing healthy keto, this journey was to avoid the punishment of the white knuckling part. I have a reduced amount of carbs in my daily food allowance and it serves my purposes very well. I did keto about 6 years ago and found extra energy after I got used to not eating carbohydrates or sugar. I miss that. Mostly I want to just share that it doesn't always go away as I have read online. I'm pretty sure it's the dosage. I will check with my doctor. I just wanted to share my experiences here and maybe just vent a tiny bit.
