DEEP DIVE: How Much Weight Should You Actually Be Losing on a GLP1?

The 20% Rule: A realistic look at what your first year can actually look like

A lot of people walk into this journey with completely unrealistic expectations. And I get it. The TikToks, the before and afters, the “I lost 40 pounds in 3 months” posts. It all adds up to this idea that if you are not dropping weight fast, something is wrong with you or your medication.

But here is what is actually happening. Unrealistic expectations are setting people up to feel like they are failing when they are doing just fine. They get discouraged. They start second-guessing everything. And eventually, some people quit their GLP-1 journey altogether because they think the medication is not working.

I do not want that for you.

So today we are going deep on one question: how much weight should you actually be losing on a GLP-1? Not a guess. Not a vibe. An actual number, based on real clinical data. I call it the 20% rule, and by the end of this, you are going to walk away with your number. A realistic, grounded goal for what your next year can look like if you stay in it.
