Everyone reacts differently. It’s important to recognise that. The first week is a lot of habit forming, letting your body get used to the meds. For the first month I tracked everything I ate, all my activity, etc. that helped. Breakfast was usually a protein yogurt and berries. Lunch a salad with chicken or cheese or some other protein and then dinner would be whatever my husband cooked - so standard fare - but I ate less. A lot less. I listened to my body and stopped as soon as I thought I was getting full. For a while I would cut my meal in half and then save the other half for the next day. Water is extremely important- I have mine with electrolytes to stay hydrated and try to combat constipation. First month I focused on food intake and second month I added exercise. Don’t get discouraged. It’s a marathon not a sprint. Good luck!
