semaglutide question

[sofargone561]

I'm curious how and why this stuff works.

So I bought some semaglutide but I have no used it. Everything I had read online says it slows gastric emptying and keeps you full longer and makes you feel full without really eating. I watched a bunch of videos of people who are taking it and basically they said they struggle to get 1500-1800 calories in per day and that's why they are losing the weight.

So basically I saw that and said well shit I can do that without the side effects of the drug and then I stalled out my metabolism and I'm not losing weight at all even with a very strict diet, calorie deficit and daily cardio.

Guns has already helped me get started on ramping my metabolism back on and then got me on the right track on losing the weight without such a drastic change in calories but what is it about semaglutide that this doesn't happen to people? They just keep dropping the weight and they aren't stalling out like I did. Is there something going on with the insulin response that it protects or like increases?

Re: semaglutide question

dont do the dumb shit that all these morons are doing online. so i was having some glucose issues from running gh for longer periods of time at higher dosing than i should and have had a hell of a time getting them back into range. i even dropped it out for a couple months and still didnt go where i wanted it before prep. so knowing i needed and wanted gh in i reached out to a pro and coach i am good friends with for some suggestions. he told me about the proper use of semi for both that issue and while dieting. so what the docs and dumb asses do is they start you off at dose x and increase that puppy weekly or biweekly with one shot. not good application for most people and for most it wrecks havoc on heart rate gut issues and a bunch of other side effects. what he suggested to me was to start at 50-100mcg daily and keep an eye on my avg resting heart rate. from 50 i went to 100 and the plan was to go to 150 eventually but after 2-3 months it is still working and i am not having any issues so no need to push it up and create issues. i have continued to drop bodyfat weekly, glucose has improved and i am not ready to eat my couch. now with that said i do consume around 28-3k cals per day and at times i am not hungry and i damn sure dont shit as much as i normally do. you will have to make yourself eat because it will surpress your appetite quite a bit. great product but again keep an eye on the resting heart rate. it has sent more than one person that i know of to the er with a resting heart rate over 100 and that was under a dumb ass docs suppervision

That's exactly what my plan was and exactly what my thinking was on it. Everyone does 1 injection a week and basically doubles the dose every 3-4 weeks which seems silly and more like a sales tactic than an actual safe protocol.

I was going to do the minimum dose and do smaller daily injections until it stopped working then slowly go up. I was hoping I could just avoid using it all together but after crashing out my metabolism I'm considering using it again.

So start at 50mcg daily and make sure I'm forcing myself to still eat a good amount of food.
At what point do I bump up the dose to 100mcg if everything else is going well, when the wait loss stalls out?

i jumped up to 100 after the first week because that is still way under the normal starting dose and i have cruised on that for a while now and it is still working like a champ. 100 ed is still under 1mg and dumb asses go up to around 5mg. i dont see how they eat or drink or anything at that high of a dose. you will see an effect between 50-100 easily. hell i eat a boat load in the off season and i am still hungry. now i am eating about 1/4 to a half and i am hungry but not starving. so it does make a difference even though that's not what i am using it for but a good side effect during prep for sure.

Makes sense, that's easy enough. Thank you!

i havent heard or saw anything about optimal timing on when to dose. i personally take mine at night before my final meal to make sure that it doesnt create an issue with my food for the day. more of a mental thing on my part haha and no science or info on that that i am aware of

Re: semaglutide question

First things first that is missed with all of these new glp-1 peptides…it is doing things that you had no idea. Fixing the dumpster fires our metabolism has become helps reconfigure things that have gone haywire due to plastics and forced chems.

For guys who are in decent shape, they shouldn’t think of this as weight loss. The micro dosing guns refers to is allowing the body time to fix itself.

Semaglutide is great for the food noise so great to help you diet. I don’t snack or crave crap at all.

I really never lost weight with my micro dosing on semaglutid but to say I’ve felt better is an under statement. Like guns I started way low. .01 literally over four months I am just now up to 1ml as of yest. I split my dosing into two.

I also started tirzepatide. It’s way low right now but guess what…the combo. I have slowly dropped ten lbs. will write more about that later.

Glp-1 might possibly be the most revolutionary discoveries and quite literally save our society. To the chagrin of the powers that be who want us fat and sick and begging for pills!

My desire to snack went away like day 2 of using it. Only side effect i have right now is bloating after a meal and gas all day.

I am not in decent shape any more so weight loss is really the what im after.

I almost chose trizepatide instead of semglutide you are running them together?

6 and i are always bouncing ideas and looking into new approaches. he is guinea pigging the doubling up since i cant right now because i have to get in enough food for my prep. i added it in mainly for my fasted glucose while running gh. their are 6 different glp1s available right now but it is looking like the semi and triz are the best two. they seem to be the most effective for all the desired results

There’s more coming! Some are swearing by Retaturide and that’s a triple agonist. It does seem that the sema makes them all work best. I’m hearing Cagri works well too.

Re: semaglutide question

LOL not sure about that but I will say this guys these will and should be dropping drastically in price...This stuff is dirt cheap to make...doctors keep calling this "medication" but truthfully guys these are PEPTIDES.

Re: semaglutide question

Beware the gurus on this stuff...these glp-1 are very unique and individual.

Semaglutide is the ONLY GLP-1 Agonist injectable (there are some oral versions popping up...Eli Lilly calls their's Orforglipron). Semaglutide has been around for a LONG time for diabetics...but it has been hidden from the public for the most part AND due to the side affects it can be demonized. What do I mean? This little genius peptide will stop your trash eating REAL fast or fully prepare for MASSIVE gastric issues. These run the full range but at a minimum if you don't keep up on your H20, magnesium supplements, and be prepared to use magnesium dioxide or some other laxative. Semaglutide causes a slowing of your gastric emptying. This will cause bloating and back up and some actually will initially put on weight...that was me...put on about 7 pounds even though I was micro dosing. The bloat severity had me probably in the 20% of Semaglutide users that get forced to quit because that unchecked can cause some serious issues... I powered through and got it under control.

It is really easy to think of Sema as just an appetite suppressor. In that category I have NEVER experienced anything like it. Even at micro dosing levels that would make these "practicers of medicine" i.e. doctors scoff.

Sema is doing so much more...resetting metabolic markers throughout your body. One way to look at it is, over the past 70-80 years the powers that be have slowly led us to where we are today. To be sick and feeble and need to beg for their pills and potions.

I would suggest reading some of Jay Campbell's stuff on glp-1. I used to have a lot more respect for Jay but he's gotten very, very weird lately. Sort of hitting that spot where the Bible talks about all the things that will happen in the end times...Jay fits in that category of self anointing himself as a messiah...a false messiah in some fourth dimensional mumbo-jumbo. That said he does have a lot of good work on GLP-1.

I'd also listen to Dr. Tyna's podcasts on GLP-1. She's out of Oregon and has led the charge in her profession when all others condemn her beliefs on the things glp-1 can fix. Well a lot of what she's said has come full circle and true.

I'd look up Hunter Williams youtube channel on peptides. You guys remember Fozie from the muppets? Ya he sort of looks like that, especially when he has his blue light blocking glasses on. The only thing I don't really agree with him on is the need, if micro dosing, to get off Sema at 12 weeks...I think the body tells you when it's had enough. With all the new ones coming out you can keep Sema low and stack these for incredible results. I think this is tip of the ice berg really.
