GLP-1 · Coming Off
The months after are the ones nobody writes anything down for
People stop for all sorts of reasons — cost, supply, side effects, having got where they were going, or being told to. Almost nobody keeps any record of what happens next, which is strange, because it's the period everyone is most anxious about and the one where things move most gradually. Appetite returns over weeks rather than overnight. Portions drift back before anyone notices they have. Both are extremely visible in a log and almost invisible without one, and knowing which week it actually started is worth more than any amount of bracing for it.
For anyone stopping, pausing, or trying to work out what happens next.
Where this fits
What this sits alongside
Whether, when and how to stop is entirely your prescriber's territory, and stopping is a decision with real consequences that deserves that conversation. What a log offers is the months afterwards, which are the least documented part of this whole experience.
Why this is hard to keep track of
- The changes are gradual, so nobody can tell when anything actually started
- It's the most anxious period and the least recorded one
- Every app in the category loses interest the moment the medication stops
- Portion sense drifts back invisibly, exactly as it drifted down
Worth recording
- Meals in a sentence, lightly. This is a long stretch, not a project
- Appetite, roughly, because this is the thing that's changing
- Photos occasionally, since portions move before anyone notices
- How you're feeling about it, in your own words
Cadence
Much lighter than while you were on it. A few entries a week is plenty
In practice
Say it once, or photograph it
The entries most worth having are the ones made at the exact moment nobody wants to fill in a form. A sentence — typed, dictated, or replaced entirely by a photo of the plate — is a much lower bar, and it carries the context a calorie field would have thrown away.

Every figure here was counted from entries you made. The model chose which tools to call — it doesn't score the meal, estimate calories from a photo, or decide what any of it says about you.
And then ask
The question the log can answer
Months of entries hold real answers to the things you've been guessing at, and reading them properly has always meant a spreadsheet and a free evening — which is exactly what nobody has.
Ask in plain language. The answers come back with the counts behind them, including when those counts are too thin to mean anything yet — which is the more useful answer far more often than people expect.
Called 3 tools
get_history(topic: "coming-off", window: "6m")find_pattern(group_by: "context")compare_periods(metric: "entries")
Counts and averages over your own entries, nothing more. Where the data is confounded or too thin, the answer says so instead of rounding it into a conclusion.
What it does
Set up around coming off
The same mechanics as everything else here, pointed at what actually matters for this one.
An entry survives a bad week
A sentence, or a tick that a meal happened at all. On the weeks when eating is genuinely hard, the log has to cost less than the meal did — otherwise the record stops exactly when it gets interesting.
Photos, for the thing descriptions miss
Portion sense recalibrates within weeks and nobody can see it happening. Two photographs eight weeks apart settle it instantly.
Mark the date something changed
Your prescriber decides what changes; the log just notes when, so the fortnight either side can be counted against each other instead of recalled.
Side effects with the meal before them
Nausea on its own is a complaint. Nausea with what you'd eaten, how long it lasted and where it fell in the week is something a clinician can work with.
Watching for eating too little
The risk here is rarely eating too much. Missed meals and meals without a protein source are counted and shown to you, because appetite has stopped being the thing that would have told you.
Formatted for the review
Export the window you were asked about, photos included, and take it in. It's the answer to the first question at every appointment.
The reason a lot of people start
Something to actually bring to the appointment
You get fifteen minutes, and the first question is always some version of "so what does a normal week look like?" — which nobody on earth can answer accurately from memory.
What this gives you: A record of the months afterwards, which almost nobody has and every clinician would like to see — including if you go back on.
- Export the date range you were asked about, as a file you can print
- Photos alongside the entries, which say more than any description
- Counts and timings rather than an impression of the worst week
- Nothing shared anywhere unless you choose to share it
What it won't do
- Score a meal, or sort food into good and bad
- Estimate calories from a photo and present the guess as a number
- Set you a calorie target, a macro target, or a weight
- Run a streak you can break, or tell you that you've fallen behind
- Comment on your body. The photos here are of food
- Diagnose anything, or suggest that a pattern is a diagnosis
It's a notebook that can do arithmetic and answer questions about itself. Deciding what any of it means is a job for you and the people advising you.
