Hey guys,I just moved out on my own and am starting to learn how to cook. I bought all my pots, pans, and a chef's knife, but I completely forgot to get a cutting board.

I was browsing online on places like shein and saw so many different materials: stainless steel, silicone, wood, and plastic. Since I only cook single-serving meals for myself, I have no idea which one to choose. What material do you recommend that won't ruin my knife? Also, what size is practical for one person but won't take up too much kitchen space? TIA!

I know 2.5mg is just a starter dose but I see posts from people saying they felt suppression within hours of their first shot. Meanwhile I've had zero appetite change, zero food noise reduction, zero side effects. It's almost like injecting water. But I am pretty sure it isn't that.

My doctor says to be patient and titrate up to 5mg next month. But I'm already $400 in and wondering if I'm just throwing money away. So when does it actually kick in?
