Check-in after 8 weeks
Yesterday I used my medication for the eighth time. My starting weight was 91 kg, my current weight is 82.7 kg. I've had barely any side effects. I'm really curious to see how my body will respond to the higher dose.

Losing weight slowly
I'm now 8 weeks in and have lost 3 kilos. I hit a bit of a rough patch, but after watching a video by Andreas about slow weight loss I got back on track with a positive mindset. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

1 week at Lean Clinic
Exactly one week ago I started at Lean Clinic and I've already lost 3.3 kilos. The mental quiet is remarkable, now that the constant noise around eating is gone. I haven't had any side effects at all. I can't wait to see the results in 3 weeks.

My results after seven weeks
I've now completed my seventh week and have lost around 6 kg. What I love most is that my blood sugar is back to normal. No cravings, no urge for sweets. Just back to basics.

My start with Lean Clinic
I started with Lean Clinic last night. I can already feel the restlessness fading, and my body is really happy about that. I still have about 15 kg to go and have given myself 2 years. Wishing everyone the best of luck!
