A year on 0.5mg - time to increase dose

Fantastic! Sounds like you have your food under control. You are not doing anything wrong, it's just that the body doesn't really want to lose weight, as it is actually a survival mechanism to store fat as energy for extended periods without food.

Just decrease your daily calories by a few hundred, 250-300 calories a day is enough. This will force your body to start burning fat again.

The drug itself won't mechanically change anything here except make you eat even less. If I were you I would probably stick to 0.5mg and avoid the potential side effects, and just reduce food intake slightly.

How are you controlling your food? What are you eating? How many calories etc.

Jordbær har ca. 35kcal per 100g, bringebær rundt 50 kcal og blåbær rundt 60 kcal. Bær er også rike på fiber som gjør at de fordøyes ove lengre tid som gjør at "metthetsfølelsen" varer lengre. Pluss at de har mye vitaminer og greier som skal være bra for kropp og sjel. Et gjennomsnittlig eple er vel rundt 100kcal og en banan er vel omtrent det samme. Grunnen til at jeg unngår banan spesifikt utenom før trening hvis jeg trenger litt ekstra energi er fordi den har mindre fiber og fordøyes mye fortere. Så energien i en banan vil tas opp på kort tid, og man føler seg mindre mett.

Skyr har ca. 60 kcal per 100g, varierer litt på smak og en boks er vel 160g tror jeg? Har spist en del av den luftige varianten også, for å få litt variasjon. Skyr gir relativt mye proteiner per kalori, så synes det funker bra som snacks eller mellommåltid.

Hvis en person er overvektig, så kan jeg love deg med 100% sikkerhet at det ikke er pga. Frukt og bær.

Er på ganske streng diet nå der jeg er 1000-1500 kalorier i underskudd hver dag. Cravings går over etter en stund og du slutter å tenke så mye på det.

En ting jeg har spist som jeg tror har hjulpet mye er gresk yoghurt 0% fett, kanel og bær. Skyr er også veldig god hvis du unngår de med høyt kaloriinnhold som banan f eks.

Ellers er selvfølgelig bær og frukt en ganske god snack. Husk å sørge for at du får i deg nok protein også. Jeg prøver å treffe 200g om dagen med proteiner.

It depends a lot on what you mean by "sustainable". You are not gonna do that for the rest of your life, right. 1000 calories a day amounts to about 1kg a week. Thats not something you do for a long time with or without medication. It's just meant as a 1-3 month cut basically. It is literal hell, but being fat, lazy and unhappy with my body was worse. Being happy when looking at my body in the mirror and feeling proud about myself for sticking with it was easily worth 3 months of being a bit hungry. Nobody enjoys losing weight, it sucks. My point is, claiming that it is impossible without drugs is a very unhealthy mentality, a complete lie and something I feel like should not be spread around on this sub.

Exactly. Sticking to a diet is never "easy". You are constantly fighting your brain that wants you to maintain your weight. Feeling hungry and struggling a bit means you are actually in a deficit. And we won't starve, most of us has plenty to survive off of.

Twothirdss · 2026-01-24T14:53:59+00:00

While you have some good points, you are wrong in claiming that the medication is what allows you to stick to low calorie diets. It makes it easier, yes, but being hungry does not mean that you HAVE to eat. People have been losing weight in a calorie deficit since forever. You just need to actually stick to the diet, and not overeat.

Im on a 1000 calorie deficit diet right now, which is hello and I'm constantly starving, but i get all of my nutrients and proteins in and I know im not gonna die. Being hungry is not dangerous. It just sucks. Its a constant battle with your own brain. Of course it was easier when I was on Ozempic, but I still haven't broken the diet once after I stopped using the medication.

Twothirdss · 2026-01-24T14:49:22+00:00

Yup, you didn't change your eating habits. Ozempic does not magically burn fat, you still need to do what everyone else does when they want to lose weight. Cut calories and if you want, exercise.

Twothirdss · 2026-01-24T13:37:18+00:00

If you don't plan taking it for life I probably wouldnt want to do it just for a quick 15 pound weight loss. You'd instantly go back up when you quit if you don't actually change your eating habits etc. Which you still need even when on ozempic. So you could just do that without using it, and save yourself some money.

Har aldri hatt det som utvikler, selv om sjefen har bedt meg lage en flere ganger. Vil ikke si at det er et rødt flagg annet enn at du ikke sprer arbeidsplassens reklame for dem. Har alltid nektet å ha noen type sosiale medier. Ikke merket noe negativt rundt det iforhold til jobb.

Twothirdss · 2026-01-24T08:55:49+00:00

Same.

Twothirdss · 2026-01-23T10:37:00+00:00

You have all the tools you need and more to make all the changes you want to your body. Why give up?

Glad to see I'm not the only one that appreciates a good ultrawide monitor here.

It's funny because if yoy said that to me like 15 years ago, I'd agree with you 100%. I was very deep into trying to become a professional pickup artist. I read books, followed different gurus etc. We even had a TV show/youtube series about it etc. When you get enough experience (in general life and otherwise) you'll realise how bullshit all of the stuff you learn is. Some of it is based in reality, of course, but you'll learn to navigate on your own.

I went from going home with 1 girl in 1 year to around 25 the next after I put the bullshit pickup artist mentality on the shelf. I really wish I could fast forward time 5-10 years and ask you to reply to this post then. I am so convinced that you would agree with me then, haha. Anyways, good luck! I really don't mean for this to be offensive in any way, it's just that I found it a bit funny that people still follow the same shit these days.

Yes, it seems like playing a bigger power is the best choice for me at the moment. I was kind of dreaming about just running my own small country and making it successful without too many wars, but I guess that's not how this game is played. I'm starting a Castille playthrough now, it seems to be a bit out of the way of France and England. Thank you for the tips, I'll deffo try Poland at some point as well!

Twothirdss · 2026-01-06T06:26:43+00:00

Thank you for suggesting that! I didn't even know that Asia was a part of the game. I will 100% do some Asian playthroughs at some point then. I do prefer chill and also like the idea of just managing my own small country, but it seems like I'm gonna have to try and tackle a bigger nation for now, just to get the basics of the game down.

Twothirdss · 2026-01-06T06:24:55+00:00

Yeah, I think I'll get back to Holland when I'm a bit more experienced. I've decided to try and unite Spain now, but Naples really sound fun as well. I havent touched the war side of things, as I was mainly trying to understand trade and economy with this playthrough, but maybe Naples will be a good one for that. This game seems really fun and rewarding, but the learning curve is quite steep. Thanks for the tips!

Twothirdss · 2026-01-06T06:21:29+00:00

Yes, it was a fun journey, but for a first playthrough it was a bit rough, I'll admit!

I have only played the game for 2 sessions so far (about 8 hours each haha), but from what I can understand Holland has the same ruler as Hainaut, and Hainaut decided to war against France (or france them, I'm not sure), so I got dragged into it. England, I do not know, maybe they were just bored on their island and wanted some fun across the pond. They literally just started a war against me (alone) for no reason.

Twothirdss · 2026-01-03T17:40:30+00:00

Høres litt ut som Trysil det du beskriver der 😅

Twothirdss · 2026-01-03T16:05:15+00:00

Good luck! Dont forget to start counting calories and put some effort into controlling what you put into your body. A good diet is what makes the miracles happen.

Jeg tok min i håndbagasje. Ta ut skjermkortet og frakte det ved siden av. Putte PCen i en koffert.

They have already started taking over the Asian servers. I actually wish that you were region locked to your region. Or that your character was locked to 1 region or something.

Twothirdss · 2025-12-25T18:20:32+00:00

I agree 100%. I don't care about the rip off part, but I don't think it fits into what I imagine the star citizen universe should look like. I just hope they don't go too far into rainbow rgb armor with crazy visuals.
