I've been on a low dose for a year. I've lost 25kg (60 lbs) without much effort. Yes, it definitely dulls my appetite, and if I want to have a nice meal, I need to plan ahead for several weeks so that I have it _just_ before my next injection. There's also the fact that I didn't realise how important snacking was to my mental health. Since I don't have that, I've had to find other ways to boost my mood.

As a brief summary, it absolutely delivers what it says it does. I've lost weight as it claimed due to appetite suppression and feeling fuller longer. However, it's more complex than that, and the battle to ensure I get enough protein has been tough.

I have a similar issue, what did you come up with?


> I didn't realise how important snacking was to my mental health

Could you expand on this?


Not OP but eating is often used to distract or alleviate uncomfortable feelings like boredom, anxiety, etc.
