46|You survived week 1. You've figured out protein portions, you're staying hydrated, and you're starting to understand your new relationship with food.
47|
48|Now comes the interesting part: weeks 2-4. This is when things really shift.

67|Most GLP-1 protocols increase your dose every 4 weeks. By weeks 2-4, you may be transitioning to your second dose level (often 0.5mg for Ozempic, 2.5mg for Mounjaro).
68|
69|**What this means for you:**
70|- Appetite suppression intensifies
71|- Side effects may return (usually milder than week 1)
72|- Your "new normal" keeps shifting
73|- Food preferences continue to evolve

92|Week 1 reduced your appetite. Weeks 2-4 suppress it even further.
93|
94|**What you might notice:**
95|- Food has even less appeal
96|- You're forgetting to eat entirely
97|- The idea of a "meal" feels overwhelming
98|- Only specific foods sound good at all
99|

100|This is normal. Your brain is relearning hunger signals, and it takes time. 101| 102|## Common Week 2-4 Experiences 103| 104|## Helpful Products for GLP-1 Treatment 105| 106|Managing your GLP-1 medication is easier with the right tools: 107| 108|- Sharps container — Essential for safe needle disposal.

Your body needs fuel, GLP-1 or not. 139| 140|The solution: Set gentle structure. Not rigid meal times, but check-in points: 141|- Morning: Did you eat protein? 142|- Midday: Did you eat protein? 143|- Evening: Did you eat protein? 144| 145|Protein is the anchor. If nothing else hits, protein does. 146| 147|### 2.

Work WITH your preferences, not against them. 173| 174|### 3. The "What Do I Eat?"

Combination of: 244|- Continued water weight release 245|- Appetite suppression in full effect 246|- Body adjusting to lower calorie intake 247| 248|Don't panic if it slows after this. This rate is not sustainable or expected long-term. 249| 250|## What's Actually Happening in Your Body 251| 252|## Helpful Products for GLP-1 Treatment 253| 254|Managing your GLP-1 medication is easier with the right tools: 255| 256|- Sharps container — Essential for safe needle disposal.

Here's why weeks 2-4 are the most important time to nail this: 348| 349|The math: 350|- You're eating less total food 351|- Your body still needs protein to maintain muscle 352|- At a deficit, muscle is at risk of being used for energy 353|- GLP-1 + low protein = faster muscle loss 354| 355|Target: 0.7-1g protein per pound of goal body weight, every day, even when you don't feel like eating. 356| 357|Practical approach for weeks 2-4: 358|- Protein shake as a "backup" when food doesn't appeal 359|- Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, string cheese as easy wins 360|- Don't let a day go by under 60g protein minimum 361| 362|## Managing Side Effects in Weeks 2-4 363| 364|## Helpful Products for GLP-1 Treatment 365| 366|Managing your GLP-1 medication is easier with the right tools: 367| 368|- Sharps container — Essential for safe needle disposal.
