[Diagram suggestion: Four-quadrant visual showing the four phases as distinct colored zones on a timeline, with average weekly loss rate and key characteristics labeled for each phase.] Week-by-week breakdown: what to expect when Here's the granular view, based on STEP 1 trial data and the dose escalation schedule: Weeks 0-4 (0.25 mg dose): Average loss: 2.1% of starting weight (4-5 lbs for a 220 lb person) What's happening: Initial appetite suppression, water weight loss, glycogen depletion Common experience: Mild nausea, feeling full faster, reduced cravings Weeks 4-8 (0.5 mg dose): Average additional loss: 2.2 percentage points (cumulative 4.3%) What's happening: Gastric emptying slows further, caloric deficit deepens Common experience: Nausea peaks for most patients, food aversions develop Weeks 8-12 (1.0 mg dose): Average additional loss: 2.4 percentage points (cumulative 6.7%) What's happening: Peak appetite suppression for many patients Common experience: Nausea improves as body adapts, energy levels stabilize Weeks 12-16 (1.7 mg dose): Average additional loss: 2.5 percentage points (cumulative 9.2%) What's happening: Approaching therapeutic dose, metabolic rate begins to decline Common experience: Weight loss feels effortless, clothes fit differently Weeks 16-20 (2.4 mg dose, first month): Average additional loss: 2.6 percentage points (cumulative 11.8%) What's happening: Maximum dose reached, body begins metabolic adaptation Common experience: Appetite suppression remains strong, weight loss rate starts to slow Weeks 20-28: Average additional loss: 1.7 percentage points (cumulative 13.5%) What's happening: Metabolic adaptation accelerates, weight loss decelerates Common experience: Patients notice the scale moving slower, may question if medication is "still working" Weeks 28-40: Average additional loss: 1.6 percentage points (cumulative 15.1%) What's happening: Approaching individual plateau Common experience: Weight loss becomes inconsistent week to week, more dependent on diet and activity Weeks 40-52: Average additional loss: 0.9 percentage points (cumulative 16.0%) What's happening: Maximum effect reached for most patients Common experience: Weight stabilizes, focus shifts to maintenance behaviors Weeks 52-68: Average change: -1.1 percentage points (ending at 14.9%) What's happening: Minor regain as metabolic compensation completes Common experience: Weight fluctuates within a 3-5 lb range, patients adjust to "new normal" The week-by-week view shows that half of your total weight loss happens by week 20, and 90% happens by week 40
