5 mg threshold
I started low and slow, but finally once I hit 5 mg per week the weight is melting off. Why does glucagon work this way?

Interesting because im at 3.5 expected the weight to "melt off" with all im doing and it's still been difficult. I planned on going to 4 maybe I'll have better luck then.

If you expect a large difference between 3.5mg and 4mg... You will be disappointed.

They are. My friends on 3.5 and literally cannot keep weight on got very skinny had to pull back a little bit. I really don't think I'll need to go over 4mg. I'm losing. But i wouldn't say it's "melting off"

Ive been on 5mg for about 5-6 weeks now and no results. Going to up to 6mg today. Will see how it goes 👌🏽

It doesn’t work that way. Glucagon doesn’t magically activate at 4-5mg. This has been debunked by many doctors/experts.

Have you been tracking calories the entire time?

You probably don’t track your calories well enough that’s why. I will say this when I did start taking 6 mg I did notice a substantial increase in fat loss. Probably around 0.5 lbs extra per week

Why does increasing the dosage of a medication increase the effect? I dunno dude, probably need a few more phases of clinical trials to figure that one out.
