I started having chills and a low-grade fever around 5 PM. I started researching to see if this was a known side effect of the Zepbound, or what was going on. As John and I read further, it became clear that I wasn’t eating enough. I had been logging my food, without really looking at any numbers other than protein intake. I assumed having this data set would come in handy, especially as I’m adjusting to the process. I looked at the amount of calories I had confused this week, and it broke down as follows:
- Day 1: 805 calories
- Day 2: 670 calories
- Day 3: 1318 calories
- Day 4: 1081 calories
I never thought I would be in a place where I needed to be conscious about eating more. I’ve been starving my body. 🤯
I’m meeting with a dietician who has experience with Zepbound-like products, but until then will make sure I’m getting 1500-1750 calories per day at a minimum.
Talk about a mind-fuck – going from over eating to just not being hungry.
