Fat Loss — GLP-1 Protocol
Semaglutide + MK-677 — appetite control with recovery preservation.
Overview
Semaglutide-driven weight management protocol paired with MK-677 to preserve recovery and partial lean-mass through the deficit. GLP-1 agonists reduce hunger-driven adherence failure — the #1 cause of weight-loss protocol abandonment in the published literature. MK-677 elevates IGF-1 and improves sleep quality, counteracting some of the fatigue common during extended caloric restriction.

Weekly Protocol
Strict titration for Sema is non-negotiable — starting too high causes nausea severe enough to fail the protocol. MK-677 runs the full duration. At week 16, evaluate — many researchers taper off over 4 weeks rather than abrupt stop.
| Compound | Dose | Frequency | Weeks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Semaglutide | 0.25 mg | Weekly | 1-16 |
| MK-677 | 25 mg | Daily | 1-16 |
Expected Outcomes
- 15–30 lb weight loss over 16 weeks at moderate dose
- Meaningful reduction in food noise / hunger
- Preserved sleep quality (MK-677)
- No hormonal suppression, no PCT required
Safety & Warnings
- Semaglutide causes nausea, especially at dose increases. Titrate slowly.
- MK-677 elevates blood glucose — incompatible with diabetes or severe insulin resistance.
- Rapid weight loss risks gallstone formation — hydration + moderate fat intake recommended.
- Muscle loss can be significant without resistance training during deficit. Train.
Frequently Asked
How fast will I lose weight?
1-2 lb/week is the sustainable range. Rapid initial drops (week 1-2) are mostly water. Weight loss accelerates in weeks 6-12 as dose titrates up.
What if I can't tolerate the nausea?
Stay at the lower dose longer. There's no prize for titrating fast. Some researchers stay at 0.25 mg for the full 16 weeks and still lose weight.
Can I stack this with a cycle?
Yes — Sema + Test + Anavar is a common recomp-with-weight-loss stack for researchers starting above 20% bf. Adds complexity — intermediate+ only.
