Absolutely. The mainstream media's scaremongering about rapid weight gain when people stop the injections is hugely misleading.

@Graham Phillips Yes, quite so. 👍

To what extent does the body adjust to doses? I've been doing well on 2.5 mg for the last 8 months but, this month particularly, the suppression doesn't seem as effective and my loss has slowed too, despite my making appropriate adjustments. I'm considering going up to 3.5 mg but am reluctant to increase at all. Any advice?

Hi Graham, Thank you for this group and the introduction video. New member here, just added my bio and intro. To my mind, people regaining weight when they stop the jabs relates directly to *how* they lost the weight. People often think that the jabs do the work when, as with any weight loss journey, it's actually vital to do the work yourself: balancing macros, protecting essential muscle, strength training, hydrating, and consuming essential minerals. Otherwise, while you may succeed in achieving a slimmer body, you're also likely to end up with one that's nutritionally deficient and naturally rebounds in order to resupply its basic needs. To prevent that vicious cycle, it's critical to focus on health and mitochondrial wellness through eating wholefoods, just using the jabs to help with appetite suppression and the like.
