What’s the best time of day to take your weight loss treatment?

Morning or evening? The truth is… the best time to take your weight loss treatment isn’t about the clock; it’s about consistency.

When you take your dose at the same time, on the same day each week, it becomes a routine that’s easier to remember and stick to.

Tips for finding your best time:

🕓 Pick a day that fits your life – choose one when you’re usually at home and less rushed.

🤢 Plan around side effects – nausea or digestive changes are common, especially when increasing your dose or switching medication. Choose a time when you can rest afterwards.

📆 Stick to the same schedule – aim for the same time each week. A few hours’ difference is fine, but avoid skipping.

🥗 Link it with habits you already do – for example, after Sunday meal prep or before your midweek workout.

💧 Keep water close at hand – staying hydrated before and after your dose can reduce side effects and support your routine.

👩‍⚕ Always follow the advice your doctor gives you; they may tailor timing to your personal needs.

👉 Bottom line: Find a rhythm that fits your life. That’s how treatment becomes part of your week, not just another task.

What you eat still makes a big difference during weight loss treatment 💚

Your medication can help manage appetite and cravings, but balanced nutrition is what supports your long-term results.

Try to include:

🍖 Protein: eggs, fish, beans, tofu - keeps you full and helps maintain muscle

🌽 Fibre: veggies, fruit, whole grains - supports digestion and steady energy

🥑 Healthy fats: avocado, nuts, seeds, olive oil - important for hormone balance

💧 Fluids: water, herbal teas - help with appetite and overall wellbeing

🚫 Best to limit: processed foods, refined carbs, and sugary drinks - they won’t support your progress.

A simple tip: plan ahead and build meals around protein + fibre + healthy fats. It makes it easier to stay on track and feel satisfied.

Your treatment is one tool, but smart food choices are what help you feel your best and keep results going.

Stopping weight loss treatment: what to expect in the first 30 days

It’s normal to wonder what happens after your last dose. Your body needs time to readjust, and knowing what to expect can make this stage feel less uncertain.

💉 Treatment stays in your body for up to 30 days

After your last dose, some weight loss treatments can remain in your system for up to 30 days. The amount gradually reduces during this time.

👀 What you may notice

More cravings or food noise as your appetite increases
Some weight regain
Side effects continuing briefly, but usually improving with time

💡 Is it safe to just stop?

Yes, it’s safe to just stop injectable weight loss treatment. There’s no need to taper your dose, and you won’t experience withdrawal symptoms. Your body will simply adjust over the following weeks.

💚 If weight comes back

Some weight regain is common after stopping, as appetite and food noise return. This doesn’t erase the progress you’ve made. You can still support your weight by focusing on healthy routines, and ZAVA provides guidance and resources to help you during this stage.

Switching your weight loss treatment doesn’t mean starting over

Thinking about changing your weight loss treatment can feel like a big step. With the right medical guidance, it can be done safely, without losing the progress you’ve already made.

⏱️ How switching works

With ZAVA’s clinically developed switching protocol, there’s usually a 7-day gap between your last dose and your new treatment. The good news: you don’t always need to restart at the very lowest dose.

🍽️ Appetite may feel different at first

Starting on a lower dose can mean cravings and food noise return temporarily. This is expected and usually settles as your body adjusts.

⚖️ Progress may look different

Every treatment works a little differently. Your weight loss journey continues, even if the pattern changes along the way.

⚠️ Side effects may change

It’s normal to notice new or different side effects after switching. These often ease as your body adapts, and your doctor can support you if needed.

⏳ No withdrawal symptoms

Stopping your current treatment doesn’t cause withdrawal. The one-week break is standard and most people don’t notice major changes during it.

📝 Keep track of your progress

Making small notes on weight, appetite and wellbeing can help you and your doctor see how well the new treatment is working for you.

Switching doesn’t mean starting again. With expert guidance, you can move forward with confidence.

What happens when you stop weight loss treatment?

Everyone’s experience of stopping weight loss treatment is different. Some people notice changes quickly, while for others it takes more time. It’s normal to feel unsure about what to expect. Here are some of the changes patients often talk about.

💭 Cravings and food noise may return
As the effects of treatment wear off, cravings and food noise may come back. You might find yourself feeling hungrier than before.

⚖️ Weight may gradually increase
Some people notice weight regain after stopping. This can happen as appetite returns; it doesn’t mean you’ve done anything wrong.

🍫 Blood sugar levels may rise
If you live with diabetes, blood sugar levels can increase once treatment stops. Your doctor can support you with monitoring and managing this.

⏸️ Side effects usually improve
Side effects you experienced during treatment generally stop after discontinuation. Common ones like nausea, constipation or stomach upset may take a little longer to settle, but they don’t tend to last.

✅ You can take steps to stay on track
We’ve put together practical tips to help you manage food noise, support healthy habits, and feel confident about maintaining your progress after treatment.

Finding affordable ways to continue your weight loss journey

If the recent price changes have made you rethink how to continue your weight loss treatment, you’re not alone. We’ve put together some options that may help, so you can find an approach that works for your health, lifestyle, and budget.

💊 Adjusting your dose
Lower doses can be more affordable while still supporting your progress. If your weight plateaus, you can choose to increase again later.

⚖️ Staying on your current dose
If you’re already on a lower dose, you may decide to continue at this level rather than moving up. You’ll still have the option to increase later if it feels right for you and your budget.

🔄Switching to a more affordable option
In some cases, switching to a different weight loss treatment that works in a similar way may be possible. With our switching service, you can start 7 days after your last dose.

💳 Flexible payments
Using flexible payment methods can make treatment costs easier to manage. At ZAVA, we accept PayPal (with instalment plans), Visa Electron, Debit/Credit Card and Mastercard.

How to store and handle your weight loss treatment safely

You’re not alone if you feel unsure about how to store your treatment. Our pharmacist put these guidelines together to give you peace of mind about storing and handling your treatment.

🧊 When unused and kept in the fridge
Store at 2–8 °C. This way it lasts up to 24 months, or until the expiry date on the box.

📦 If your unused treatment feels warm on arrival
Usually, it feels cool when delivered. If the journey has taken slightly longer, and it doesn’t, it’s still safe & effective. Put it in the fridge straight away and use it within 30–42 days, depending on the treatment type.

📅 After your treatment has been used
Once you start your treatment, it can be stored in the fridge or at room temperature (below 30 °C) for up to 30-42 days.

✅ Before every use
Check the liquid: it should be clear and colourless (or slightly yellow). If it’s cloudy, discoloured, or has particles, do not use it.

The “Golden Dose” – is it safe?

With Eli Lilly’s recent price increase, demand is higher than ever. Understandably, some patients are wondering if they can stretch their weight loss treatment trying to extract a so-called “fifth dose”. Online, this is often referred to as the “Golden Dose”.

👉 The truth: our doctors strongly advise against it. The application method is carefully designed to deliver four accurate doses only. Manipulating the device to extract more can mean:

⚠️ You get too much or too little medication
🤢 Stronger side effects such as nausea, vomiting or low blood sugar
🧴 Higher risk of contamination if the device is tampered with
⏳ Reduced effectiveness if used beyond the recommended 30 days

If you are in a situation where your treatment is unavailable on your scheduled day, there is a safe way to adjust. You can delay your next dose by up to 7 days. This means leaving up to 14 days between doses and then return to your usual weekly schedule.

Your treatment works best when it is followed exactly as prescribed. If you are worried about supply or cost, check our FAQ page or explore flexible options such as dose adjustments or payment plans.

Managing the timing of your weightloss treatment

Because of the price increase from Eli Lilly and the resulting high demand, some patients may not have their weight loss treatment available on their scheduled day. You might be wondering what to do. Here is what our doctor says:

👉“If your treatment does not arrive before your next scheduled dose, you can safely delay it by up to 7 days.” - Dr. Crystal Wyllie, ZAVA Doctor

This means instead of taking it every 7 days, you can leave up to 14 days between doses. After that, continue with your usual weekly schedule.Delaying in this way gives you more time to receive your next treatment while staying on your treatment path.”For more guidance, visit our FAQ page.

Orders and delivery update

We know waiting for your medication can feel stressful. Since Eli Lilly’s price increase, demand is still very high. Every order has to be carefully reviewed by a doctor to ensure it is safe, which means dispatch can take up to 10 days.
To support everyone fairly, we are processing orders in the order received. If you have not received a cancellation notification, your order is still in our system and will be reviewed as soon as possible.

✅ What you can do
Check your emails for regular updates
Try to place your next order at least 2 weeks before your current supply runs out.
If you cannot take your next dose on time, you can delay it by up to 7 days, leaving up to 14 days between doses.
If you would like to review your treatment, options such as dose changes, switching treatments or flexible payments are available

💷 Pricing and stock
The price you paid when placing your request is the price you will be charged for that request, even if your order is approved or shipped later. Stock is reserved for you at the time you place your request.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. You can always find the latest updates on our FAQ page.

🚫 Beware of fake weight loss treatment online

Rising demand has led to a surge of fake websites and private sellers offering weight-loss injections. These products often don’t come from licensed pharmacies and that’s a serious health risk.

⚠️ The dangers:

・No guaranteed cold chain: Weight loss treatment must be stored under strict refrigeration. Without it, they can lose effectiveness or even become unsafe.
・Unknown content: Many online products contain incorrect doses, undeclared substances, or counterfeits.
・No medical guidance: Taking these without doctor supervision means no monitoring of side effects, interactions, or safety.

✅ Safe treatment = doctor + licensed pharmacy.

Only regulated healthcare providers can ensure you receive the right medication, stored correctly, and matched to your needs.

Your health is too important to trust private sellers or shortcuts.

Update on Cancelled Orders

We know there has been some confusion around this, so we’d like to clarify.
If we have had to cancel your order, you will always receive both an email and a message in your patient account.

If you have not received these, but notice a refund on your card or bank account, this does not mean your order is cancelled. At the moment, due to high demand, it is taking us a little longer than usual to process some orders. In these cases, the bank may release the hold on the funds before your order is approved.

Once the doctor approves your order, the charge will go through again. This will only happen once, and always at the price that was shown when you placed your order.
