2.5kg per week? Wow.

  Indeed, I have to make a conscious effort to remember to eat, and consume 800 calories (two servings) of Creamy Chocolate Soylent (premade, liquid bottles) daily, along with fiber gummies to keep everything moving in my digestive track. I do strength training to preserve muscle mass. Desire to eat anything sweet or alcohol has gone to zero (RIP my craft beer desires and my sweet tooth).

    How long did those effects take to come into effect? I have been on 2.5 for a week and haven't noticed a change in my appetite, though I have lost 2 pounds.

      First week. You might need a higher dose, check with your prescriber. My partner needed to go to 5mg to see improved results, but dropped back down due to side effects (which I did not have).

    You are consuming only 800 calories a day? From a starting weight of 170ish? Was this plan made with your doctor?

      My doctor does not approve or reject my actions, they simply make recommendations and provide guidance. I work with people who understand my risk appetite, which is aggressive. If you are not aggressive as a practitioner, I will work with someone who is. Unsophisticated humans need protection, which I understand and appreciate, but I need coaches and subject matter experts who will push me to my limits.
