Harder to eat junk food

Yeah roughly four pounds each week which feels pretty fast. Back in 2018 I was in solid shape from lifting and eating properly, then after our first child in 2020 everything slipped and the weight came on quick. Nothing extreme now, just the gym six days following a push pull legs split, no alcohol, and cleaner eating overall. Makes complete sense that GLP-1s amplify the effects of processed food. It was milder at first but the last couple weeks my body clearly cannot handle large amounts of that stuff without feeling really sick.

No, that rate is a bit high per week. Check the guidelines.

When you add big diet shifts, training and these compounds the first weeks can move a lot of weight. I dropped thirty seven pounds in my first ten weeks but a good chunk was water. I agree the pace is too quick and it worried me at the time. I left the dose alone and the rate soon dropped to a safer average. Going too fast risks muscle loss, hair loss, poor nutrition, slower metabolism and even gallstones. Once I reached goal my steady rate was two pounds weekly, though the first four weeks alone accounted for twenty one of those pounds. At the start I removed all junk food completely and the medication made that possible when nothing else ever had.

I agree completely. My first week at two milligrams I lost five pounds and four the next. Almost certainly water weight. I never lowered the dose, only raised it later. Scale weight still moves up and down day to day but now I expect it and do not worry about the fluctuations.
