BEGIN_PROTOCOL
Your weight loss journey begins. Here's what the first few weeks typically look like:
WEEKS_1-4: INIT_DOSE (2.5mg)
Begin with the lowest dose to help your body adjust. Some people experience mild nausea during this period - it usually improves as your body adapts.
WEEKS_5-8: FIRST_INCREASE (5mg)
Many people start noticing reduced appetite and early weight loss. Continue monitoring how you feel and stay in touch with your healthcare provider.
WEEKS_9+: GRADUAL_TITRATION
Continue increasing doses every 4 weeks as tolerated, up to your maintenance dose. Most people find their optimal dose between 10-15mg.
// SUCCESS_PARAMETERS

PROTEIN_FIRST
With reduced appetite, prioritize protein to maintain muscle mass.
MOVEMENT
Light exercise amplifies results and preserves lean tissue.
