[Question] how do you actually verify Ozempic
Asking properly rather than in a comment on somebody else’s thread: how do you actually verify Ozempic. The appetite thing was the surprise. I expected to feel full.

The weekly interval comes out of the half-life — roughly a week — so you are on a smooth curve rather than a series of spikes. That is also why moving your day slightly does very little.
if 0.25mg is working there is no prize for going up
Disagree. 2.4 is the top of the label, not the goal, and "everyone ends up there" is just survivorship in the posts you read.
food noise made the first fortnight rough at each step up, then flattened out. Predictable enough that I started planning around it.
