Using sema purely for cravings / metabolic — not primarily weight loss
20 posts
35M, BMI 24, not trying to lose weight. Family history of T2D on both sides. Strong sugar cravings that survive every attempt at dietary control. Considering 0.25mg sema specifically for craving reduction and pre-diabetic prevention, not weight loss. Anyone here running this protocol? What to watch for given I don't want to lose much weight?

0.15mg indefinitely here, same use case. Cravings evaporate. Lost 8lb and held it. If you don't want to lose weight you'll need to deliberately eat to maintenance — you'll just have to do it without the food noise pushing you. That's actually easier, not harder.

Recommend pulling full metabolic panel before and 90 days in. HbA1c, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, ApoB, hs-CRP. That's how you'll know if the use case is paying off beyond subjective craving reduction.

At your BMI, muscle preservation matters more, not less. If you drop even 5lb and it's lean, that's a meaningful hit. Eat protein, lift.
