Monitoring and titration If you are microdosing GLP-1 medications, it is important to track the side effects carefully, particularly gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation
Your provider should specify both the volume to measure and the corresponding milligram dose
It is common, for example, for a patient reporting nausea or digestive discomfort early on to remain at that stage longer before any further increase is considered
They recognize that clinical trials showed modest effects (average 2.6 kg over 12 weeks in responders), appreciate that individual response varies significantly, commit to proper nutrition and exercise foundations, and accept that the peptide is used for research purposes under medical supervision
People assigned to receive higher doses started at 2 mg and increased the amount incrementally every four weeks until reaching the target dose (this step-up dosing is called titration)
Protein is non-negotiable Why it matters: Preserves muscle during weight loss Increases satiety (helps with any remaining hunger) Higher thermic effect (burns calories digesting) Prevents metabolic slowdown How much: Minimum: 0.8g per pound goal body weight Optimal: 1g per pound goal body weight Example: Goal weight 150 lbs = 120-150g protein daily Sources: Lean meats (chicken, turkey, lean beef) Fish and seafood Eggs and egg whites Greek yogurt, cottage cheese Protein powder (whey, casein, plant-based) For a comprehensive overview of all available peptides, see our complete peptide list
