What a kind and unexpected response! Thank you so much and really just thought it was funny and a bit ironic.
It's because you're eating less salty, shitty foods now! Couple that with increased water consumption and you'll lose more than you take in if you're not careful. I had the same issues when I did calorie restriction without these drugs. I eat a small lunch at Burger King almost every day so I've been fine so far 😅
Which fiber powder do you use? I simply cannot do fiber powder on Tirz... at least not psyllium husk. The plain kind gives me the sulfur burps like crazy and Metamucil started giving me the worst heartburn of my life. I just make sure to get enough fiber in my diet whenever possible now. Whole grains, nuts & seeds, legumes. Chia pudding probably helps me the most and I make it with some sugar free pudding mixes and it's super yummy.
I do at least one Unsweetened Huel (8g fiber 40 protein) with Greens (mostly for micro-nutrients or electrolytes) and try hard to do a second. On my current dose I am not hungry at all, just some minor cravings. I shoot for two Huels a day with a high protein dinner, normally some kind of shitty boring chicken with a carb and veg.
Yes, it can be a struggle. If you aren't already, use an app on your phone to track what you eat and how much water you are drinking. It was a small learning curve to integrate it into my daily routine. Now that I do it for every meal it's an eye opener as to how many calories I eat now vs what I did before researching Tirz.
I like to use the metamucil knockoff from Costco which thankfully doesn't give me heartburn. Even looking in the direction of red sauce makes my throat hurt 😢 Ever thankful for seeds and beans though. Which of the sugar free pudding mixes do you use?
You ever try the liquid IV packets? I use them when I work outside and I haven't had a cramp since. They are kinda pricey but boy do they work (and are tasty imo)
Currently my favorite is Jello brand Pistachio and Cheesecake flavors.
I haven't tried them because of the price. I ended up going with sugar free Gatorade packets or gfuel hydration when it goes on bogo sale. I prefer the Gatorade because the hydration has some grit at the bottom, but hydration has better flavors. Haven't compared the labels myself but my partner insists it has better electrolytes in it.
Since the chia gels a lot on it's own, I usually just stir in some of the pudding mix instead of beating it so it doesn't get too thick. Another option is using something like almond milk because the pudding mix doesn't tend to set as well with nom-dairy options and the chia makes up for it.
I don't think I have ever beat it to be honest, I can't be assed to hand wash beaters if I can help it, too many nooks and crannies. I have almond milk on hand, so thanks for the tip!
Don't say that, I'm only down 7 and it's still in the 40's. I just slept with two comforters. I'm already chronically cold even before losing weight.
