Moments of intense hunger

[cloratheshadow]

I swear most of the time I can barley get myself to eat. Then a few days a month I am RAVENOUS. I always doubt like…is it not working anymore??? Do I have to increase my dose???? Then it goes away and I can hardly eat again. I do honor my hunger and eat a decent bit when it happens because I am steadily losing 2-4 lbs weekly and want to avoid metabolic adaptation. But it’s a weird feeling lol. I don’t think it’s progesterone because it’s typically weeks before my period (progesterone spikes the week before typically)

Anyone have this experience? What do you chalk it up to?

I am also on 7.5 mg Tirz and 3mg reta, adding Cagri a couple times a month.

YES, I don’t know what’s going on with that either. I’m at 6 Tirz and .82 Survo. I’m fine with it as it hasn’t affected my weight loss and I’m like you, I don’t want to screw up my bmr so I eat through it. Curious to see what others have to say about it 👍

I can't remember ever having a craving for full-bore sugar soda-pop. But recently I been buying a single bottle. Then I drink about half. It may be days until I drink the rest. I may have said it before, it's all about the calories. I've backed off from 20mg to 10mg tirz. Fewer side effects. Still loosing weight. It's all about caloric deficit. I don't eat alot of anything. I may get craves, but it doesn't take much. Between tirz and my gut biome, they have eventually trained me.

Drinking water is always a good idea!
My Dr. says that's how fat is evacuated. Through urine.

I have been doing that exact same thing the last few weeks. I don't even crave sweets anymore but I gonna have a half bottle of Coke once in a while.

In my early days of Reta, I would get crazy hunger. No clue why though.

On days i pee more i always drop. Which isnt directly correlated to how much i drink. Like forgot the exact day but i drank just as i was thirsty instead of crushing my normal gallon and a half. And was peeing once every hour. Dropped three pounds next night. Bro science? Voodoo? Powers of fergie and jesus? Who knows

I'll get the hungries a little bit from time to time like you said, but they either subside on their own, or I eat a handful of nuts or carrots, and then I am good for 2-4 hours...

I believe something like 85% actually leaves as CO2 with the rest leaving through urine as water. Concerned about your doctor.

I’ll occasionally get a crazy intense hunger pang. Usually early in the morning but it passes by itself rather quickly so I’m able to ignore it.
Even way back when I was on wegovy I’d get it 🤷🏼‍♀️
