    Wow, that is impressive. May be able to pull off the food fast easier than the training one though. It’s as much for my mental health as it is physical. Need the endorphins. I’m one of those weirdos.

    Usually good about 6-8 weeks no problems. After about two months the double portions become a problem. Been more mindful since starting this thread. Think it was you who helped me out. “Eat your days macros & sit down somewhere” paraphrasing, of course.

    Semaglutide questions

    Ashwagandha (1300 mg) is in my daily multivitamin pack, among others. Still feeling the consequences of over indulgence of alcohol, even a few years after quitting. When trying melatonin started off at 5 & progressed up to 40 mg before stopping. Falling asleep is easy enough, just staying asleep...

    Hopefully, or at least that’s what it’s done for those around me. Can’t make excuses for my hormones or other disadvantages. Gotta put in the work, even with the supplemental help. Appreciate you chiming in.

    Always looking for new tools, will give it a whirl to see if it’s better management than the free version of the app I use currently. Thanks for the referral.

    Thank you for this. Gave up alcohol & nicotine years ago trying to resolve but, still having sleep trouble. Will follow this link. Melatonin unfortunately seems to have little to no effect on me. Same as caffeine. Could be my less sophisticated lizard brain. Will give it another shake with...

    Semaglutide questions

    This was my original idea but, as stated, my discipline has to improve as well. It does me no good to plan a diet & then give in whenever the cravings get rough. Haven’t tried the meds yet but, everyone says the deterrent for eating is insane. The part I was hoping for. Leaning towards this...

    Never tried a fast this long. Most was with the “ultimate cleanse”. That pepper & syrup mix. It was effective, but the weight comes right back if you’re not doing what you should, which I wasn’t. Will look more into this, thanks

    Absolutely, it’s a matter of discipline as much as anything else. Making excuses for myself & saying “it’s still good stuff” isn’t helping. Ends up being a bit of a bulk instead of a cut. Most of the time, I’m fine with going hungry. It’s after prolong periods my discipline wains & I give fold...

    Thanks for reading. Currently using the “Lose it” app for calorie/macro tracking. Was a little better until recently, when they started charging for access to barcode scanner. Luckily, being a creature of habit, most of my meals & snacks have already been weighed/tracked. Water intake is on...

    Thank you, and agree. Lou & Dustin have been helpful. Should have made this post sooner. Seems This is actually a great idea. Asked my internist for a dietitian referral. Blew me off, said they’re not very helpful. Currently looking for a new primary & someone to help in this area as well they...

    Semaglutide questions

    Sleep is definitely a factor, appears I’ve underestimated just how much. My insurance is crap and won’t fund the study. We are changing providers next year, so will bark up that tree again as well. Appears to be undiagnosed apnea, based on my CBC & elevated RBC. Wife also reports my breathing...

    Semaglutide questions

    Definitely in need of a sleep study, honestly believe this is at the core of of many of my issues. At odds with the insurance on the matter though, and they’re generally not cheap. Cortisol is checked by endo, and is within “normal” range. My test is also quite low due to lack of sleep. Should...

    Was just talking to the wife about adding more fitness knowledge to my day in form of a podcast or radio show. Will look this up. Thank you.

    Semaglutide questions

    Thanks for the response. Very similar to my program, in that my wife & I prep meals on Sunday that we roll out through the week. Recently started splitting my routine to AM lift & PM cardio, alternating those on weeks with my son as he is recently showing interest into the lifestyle & training...
