I’m currently on a GLP-1 and considering starting the lion diet, but I’m worried about headaches, lethargy, and brain fog during the transition into ketosis.
Does being on a GLP-1 make that transition any easier, or could it make those symptoms worse? I’m wondering about the adjustment symptoms specifically, rather than hunger or cravings.
Has anyone here started a lion or carnivore diet while already taking a GLP-1? What was your experience, and did your doctor give you any guidance?

I’m interested in trying the lion diet, but I’m worried about the transition into ketosis—especially headaches, lethargy, and brain fog. I work and need to function during the day, so I don’t want to feel completely wiped out.
For anyone who’s tried it, how was the transition? Did you gradually cut carbs or switch all at once? If you felt rough, how long did it last, and what helped?
I’d appreciate honest experiences, including from anyone who tried it and decided it wasn’t for them.

I have a full set of dumbbells and a bench, but no barbell or machines. I'm looking to build as much muscle as possible using just that equipment.

Does anyone have a hypertrophy split they've personally had great results with? Ideally something well-balanced and designed for progressive overload.

If you have a program you're willing to share, feel free to comment or DM me. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

I'm considering applying to CalArts, but I've seen a lot of comments online suggesting the school is having financial problems.

Is there any truth to that? Have current students or faculty noticed budget cuts, fewer resources, staff departures, or changes in financial aid? Or is this mostly speculation?

I'd especially love to hear from current students or recent alumni. Thanks!

I’m on 27 mg of Concerta and it’s been a huge help with productivity. But on days when I don’t have much to do, I notice it makes me feel kind of depressed and existential. It’s not as bad as Vyvanse was, but it’s enough that I’ve considered taking breaks on days off.
Does anyone else experience this? Do medication breaks help?

I’ve had a really unexpected experience with Celexa and I’m wondering if anyone else has.
I think it’s almost completely gotten rid of my body dysmorphia. Before, I would obsess over every flaw, constantly analyze my appearance, and always feel like I needed to lose weight.
Now…it’s like all of that is just gone. The neurosis around my body has disappeared. The weird part is that it almost feels like it’s gone too far. I don’t really have any desire to lose weight anymore, even though I know objectively I’m carrying more weight than I’d ideally like to.
It’s almost like I can look in the mirror and think, “Yeah, I look fine,” even though I probably have room to improve. I’m not complaining—it’s honestly a relief compared to how obsessive I used to be—but I’m curious if anyone else has experienced this. Did an SSRI seem to completely change the way you saw your body, or just make you stop caring so much?
I’m trying to figure out whether this is what a healthier mindset feels like, or if the medication has swung me a little too far in the other direction.

I’m on celexa but I feel like it’s plateaued a little bit and I might want something a bit stronger.
