What Should I Expect the First Month?

Will you lose weight in the first month?

• Maybe, but maybe not.

• Weight loss in the first month isn’t the purpose of the loading dose. It’s meant to get you started in a healthy, safe way and allows your body to adjust.

• Every patient responds differently. Some people lose weight the first week, while others take weeks to see results.

• Some people believe that the medicine didn’t work for them just because they're still hungry. It’s okay to be hungry.

• Others get on the scale after a week or two, expecting dramatic weight loss.

• Make small changes to your lifestyle, don’t try to overhaul your entire life overnight. Focus on getting at least 100 grams of protein, try carb cycling, use an electrolyte supplement, a laxative, BioCare or digestive enzymes, and probiotics.

• We each have our own journey, health history, crazy hormones, diet history, etc, and your journey will be unique to you.

• Don’t compare your journey to others – it will only result in unrealistic expectations, frustration, and disappointment.

• Trust the process. Take it one day at a time! You got this!.
