What to expect your 1st month on a GLP1
Starting a GLP-1 often comes with questions,
especially about what those first few weeks might feel like.
For many people, the earliest changes aren’t dramatic weight shifts.
They’re internal.
Appetite cues may feel different.
Hunger can become quieter or more predictable.
Some notice subtle energy changes as their body adjusts to eating less and digesting more slowly.
This adjustment phase is normal. GLP-1 medications work by supporting appetite regulation and blood sugar balance, which can change how often you think about food.
The first month is about observation, not perfection. Learning how your body responds. Noticing patterns. Giving yourself time to adapt with guidance from a licensed provider.
Education and support matter when starting something new.
