What you will notice

In the first one or two weeks, hunger eases and meals end sooner; some feel mild nausea or fullness the day after the shot. In weeks 2 to 4, snacking fades and the scale starts to move. In weeks 4 to 8, as the dose climbs, portions settle smaller, the waist shrinks and blood sugar steadies. Over 4 to 16 months, weight keeps falling steadily toward the full effect, and blood pressure, triglycerides and HbA1c come down.
