Real Client Success Stories: Lagos Transformations

Protocol: Semaglutide, weeks 1-24 (escalated to 2.0mg). Added exercise week 5+ (strength training 3x/week + walking daily).

Key Metrics Over Time:

• Week 4: 2 kg loss | Appetite suppression: 5/10
• Week 8: 7 kg total | Appetite suppression: 8/10 | Energy: Back to normal
• Week 12: 12 kg total | Clothes 1-2 sizes smaller | People commenting
• Week 24: 18 kg total | Goal nearly reached | Waist circumference: -15cm

Side Effects Managed: Nausea week 1-3 (used ginger), mild constipation (resolved with fiber + magnesium).

Lessons: "The timing mattered. I inject Monday evening, nausea while sleeping. By morning it's gone. Adding exercise made huge difference - not just weight but how I felt. Protein intake was key. I meal prep Sundays now."

Protocol: Type 2 Diabetic. Semaglutide weeks 1-12, switched to Tirzepatide weeks 13-24 for faster final results.

Medical Improvements:

• A1C: 7.2% → 5.8% (prediabetic now, not diabetic)
• Blood Pressure: 148/92 → 128/80 (off one med)
• Cholesterol: Total 245 → 190 (LDL dropped 45 points)
• Kidney Function: Stable (actually improved slightly)

Timeline: Semaglutide month 1-3 = 8 kg loss, obvious health improvements. Tirzepatide month 4-6 = 14 kg loss (faster activation). Currently on Tirzepatide maintenance (1.5mg weekly) to prevent regain.

Challenges Overcome: "First 2 weeks on Semaglutide I had bad nausea. Switched injection to evening - solved it. Constipation was real week 3-4 - magnesium glycinate fixed that. The hardest part was psychological - eating less felt wrong after 40 years of eating whatever I wanted."

Protocol: Tirzepatide (wanted fastest results). Aggressive exercise program (5 days/week starting week 5). Strict nutrition.

Performance Metrics (Training):

• Week 5 (started training): Can barely do 10 push-ups
• Week 12: 25 push-ups, benching 30kg
• Week 16: 35 push-ups, benching 40kg, running 5km

Body Composition: Weight loss = 20kg total, but only 8kg was muscle (probably hydration + lean tissue from rapid loss). Waist circumference lost 18cm (fat preferential loss from Tirzepatide).

Cost Analysis: "Tirzepatide is pricier but I hit goal 6 weeks earlier than projected. Time value = worth it. Plus the metabolic improvements (energy, performance) felt faster."

Current Status: Maintaining 72kg on Tirzepatide 5mg weekly (maintenance dose). Training still 4x/week. Holding goal weight 8 weeks post-reaching it (proof maintenance working).

Unique Scenario: Failed previous weight loss attempts (5 different diets, one gastric band attempt). Resistant metabolism. Very skeptical about GLP-1.

Psychological Shifts: "The biggest change wasn't physical - it was psychological. I wasn't obsessed with food for the first time since age 12. I wasn't planning my next meal. That mental freedom was worth the cost alone."

Side Effects: "Honestly pretty mild. Week 1 was nausea (2-3 days), constipation week 2-3 (fixed with magnesium). That's it. Less bad than I expected. People talk about side effects like it's a horror show - mine was minor."

Long-term Plan: "I'm staying on maintenance dose. I know myself - weight comes back if I stop. This is my new normal. The cost is less than I spent on failed diet programs, personal trainers, and gastric procedures. This actually works."
