Welcome to the Third Month!
First of all, you deserve a pat on the back. You’ve completed two months of adjustment, experienced some nausea here and there, and have learned to reconnect with your body.
The dosage of 1 mg is a turning point. For some patients, this is just another step toward the maximum dosage, but for many others – this is the first dosage where they feel the “magic” happening intensely: hunger disappears for long hours, and thoughts of “what will we eat tonight?” simply fade away.
It’s not just “twice from 0.5”, it’s much more
The transition from 0.5 to 1.0 is a doubling of the dosage. In medical statistics, this is the stage where a significant jump in weight loss rate is often observed. Semaglutide is already in your body at a steady level, and the effect on the satiety centers in the brain is strong and consistent.
Your New Nutrition Strategy
At the 1 mg stage, appetite decreases significantly, creating a new problem: you are not eating enough.
When you don’t eat enough, metabolism may slow down, and you may lose precious muscle mass instead of fat.
I’ve prepared a table to help you understand what to focus on in your plate this month:
| Nutrient | Why is it critical at 1 mg? | Practical Recommendations (“Fuel” for the Body) |
| Protein | The king of the plate. Prevents muscle breakdown, prevents hair loss (a common phenomenon during rapid weight loss), and keeps skin taut. | Eggs, high-protein yogurt, tuna, chicken breast, tofu, lentils. The rule: protein is eaten first. |
| Fiber | The digestive system becomes very slow at 1 mg. Without fiber = guaranteed constipation. | Green vegetables, oats, fruits with skin (apple/pear), chia seeds. |
| Water | The thirst mechanism is sometimes suppressed along with hunger. Dehydration causes headaches and unnecessary fatigue. | Always have a bottle close by. If it’s hard to drink water, try unsweetened cold infusions. |
| “Comfort Food” | At 1 mg, fried or overly sweet food will make you feel very physically unwell (severe nausea). | It’s better to skip pizza/burger for now. It’s just not worth the feeling afterward. |
A Phenomenon to Be Aware Of: “The Plateau”
Although 1 mg is a strong dosage, sometimes during this month the body takes a “break” and weight stalls for a week or two. Don’t panic!
Your body is trying to understand the dramatic change it has undergone in the last two months. Keep injecting, maintain protein and water intake, and the weight loss will resume. This is a completely normal behavior of the body.
When to Stay at 1 mg and Not Increase?
While the protocol suggests increasing to 1.7 mg next month, there is room for flexibility (in consultation with a doctor):
-
If you are losing weight at a nice pace (0.5-1 kg per week).
-
If the side effects at 1 mg are still difficult for you.
- If you feel in complete control of your eating. In these cases, some doctors may recommend staying at 1 mg for another month before the big increase.
Friendly Reminder: The medication is an amazing aid, but it is not the magic alone. The real change happens in your mind and on your plate. Listen to your body; it knows what it’s saying.
