GLP super responders- how do you know if you are one?

[Anonymous]

Do people have less to lose lose more slowly? and more to lose lose more quickly? Is there a solid resource to read about this stuff? There is almost TOO much info out there.

Why are you concerned with this? Novo says to expect about 1/2 to 1 pound per week of loss. Do you think you are a super responder and it concerns you? Or are you desperate to be one? Why does this matter? I’m not sure there is much out there yet on this, not that is reliable/peer reviewed anyway.

I qualify as a super responder, losing on average of 2.7 pounds a week on 2.5 mg. I started with a BMI Of 41. From the Zepbound Reddit it seems random. Plenty of people don’t lose weight until higher doses. I was a binge eater of sugar and carbs and the medication took away their appeal.

It’s totally random. I lost 40 lbs in about 18 weeks, went from 175 to 135. So a little over 2 lbs a week. It was an amazing experience. I’m on a super low maintenance dose now and going even lower in dose. I workout daily and eat low cal high protein. Had never been overweight before having kids. don’t worry about being a super responder, just take the shot, exercise, eat right and everything will be awesome.

I wonder if it's more about what you eat than being a super responder. I lost 50 pounds in about 7 months, but I had convinced myself that this was it, my only chanceto lose the weight, that any second I could lose access to the drug, and for those 7 months I ate zero desserts or unhealthy snacks, only lean protein, complex natural carbohydrates (plain sweet potato, quinoa, barley), vegetables and fruit.

Went off and did fine for about 6 months, and then, within more 5 months gained back 35 pounds. Back on the drugs, not being quite as perfect with my eating, and am down 15 pounds in 3 months.
