Want to +1 to this. I’ve struggled with weight my whole life. I bounce back and forth, but every time I’ve lost significant weight (30-50lbs) it was through intermittent fasting.
I actually did take semaglutide recently just to try it. What it does is make you not hungry or have cravings. It was working, but I stopped because of the side effects. I was constantly queasy for 2-3 days after injection and My workouts were interrupted due to those stomach pains. I stopped and am just going to start intermittent fasting post the holidays.
Some people don’t have side effects so it may be worth it for you.
- anonym29 4y agoArmodafinil seems to have filled a similar purpose for me that semaglutide does for you. Headaches from it are solved by taking choline, and the insomnia is minimized by taking it before 7 AM and only taking it every other day (long half-life). It's prescription-only in the US, but it's OTC in India and there are plenty of companies that will send it to you without a prescription. Even though it's a stimulant, it's chemically not an amphetamine, and I suspect that's part of why I've never had troubles with customs. Also makes me a 10x coder. I get more work done in a day on that than I do in a week off of it. Again, I'm not a doctor, and this is not medical advice.
- likeabbas 4y agoNot sure what you’re trying to say with this comment. We’re talking about weight loss, not focus medication
- anonym29 4y agoI use it for weight loss, but it has auxiliary benefits - like increasing my productivity at my tech job, which is an aspect I think some others on this tech forum might appreciate as well, in addition to the appetite suppression.
