What to expect in your first month on a GLP-1
Week 1: Quiet but noticeable
The starter dose isn't a weight-loss dose — it's a tolerance dose. Most members notice 'food noise' fading: fewer intrusive thoughts about snacks, smaller portions feeling satisfying.
Week 2–3: Habits start to stick
Mild nausea is most common in the first few days after each injection and usually fades within 48 hours. Smaller meals, more water, and skipping ultra-fatty foods make a big difference.
Week 4: First dose increase
If side effects have been mild, your clinician usually steps up the dose. This is when the scale starts moving consistently for most members — typically 1–2 lb per week from here.
Habits that compound
Protein at every meal protects muscle. Two to three short strength sessions per week protects metabolism. Sleep protects everything else. None of these are optional — they're what turns short-term weight loss into long-term body composition change.
