I started taking Ozempic last Thursday, and this stuff basically kills your appetite beginning about 2 hours past the first injection. Will do another injection sometime tomorrow.

Have been eating one meal every day this week, usually like 500 calories, with my remaining calories made up in the form of protein shakes or drinks. I'm eating almost no sugar, and very little in the way of carbs, no more than 25-50g per day. I still have some Keto piss testing strips from 5ish years ago(the last time I actually tried Keto and failed) and pissed on it today and it was bright purple.

Now I'd been getting terrible sleep and have been borderline suicidal for the last 4-5 nights while my body adjusted to this new way of nutrition. But now that I'm unintentionally in Ketosis, I feel amazing. Mind is sharp, feeling lean and cheerful. Kinda feel like I've had a few drinks, as there's some type of endorhpin or seratonin spike. I could have gone out and had drinks tonight, but I was feeling so good and happy with life that I'm just sitting at home in bliss.

Anyways, I recommend Ozempic and Keto to anybody on here struggling with dependency issues. I'm not one of those people, but still my cravings to drink and do drugs are basically nil while taking it. I'd have to imagine there's some type of link with blood sugar and addiction.

That euphoric feeling is your body prepping you for death

Sounds very placeboish.

Luckily I'm about carrying about 45 pounds more of expendable fat, so there's a lot to burn through before I kick the bucket.

You're talking about the Ozempic?

I get the same feeling with just low carb... a scoop of rice.. 1 piece of bread maybe

don't have to be in full ketosis

Eating a sleeve of peanut butter oreos rn srs

Is PB better than the frosting?

Definitely. Taste like those little debbie peanut butter things but in oreo form.

Lmaoooooo

I try to do keto for a few days before fasting 3-4 days a few times a year. Already being in keto makes it easier, less hangry moments during the fast. It does feel good. I feel lighter, more alert and focused, and after a couple of days definitely more relaxed than normal.

The only downside is I get crappy sleep at first, so I take something to knock me out. Once in ketosis, whether purely from very low carb meals or from fasting I find I need less sleep though.

Good Luck OP
