Are you taking Mounjaro®, Wegovy®, Ozempic® or Zepbound®?
Did you think starting weight-loss medication would be straightforward?
Yeah, me too, until the side effects, food confusion and second-guessing began.
The Missing Manual is the practical guide I wish I’d had when I started — covering what to eat, how to manage side effects, how to exercise safely, and how to stay on track when things get difficult.
When I first started weight-loss medication, I thought the hard part was getting the prescription.
I didn’t expect the nausea, the uncertainty about what to eat, or the constant feeling that I might be doing something wrong.
After speaking to many others on the same journey, I realised most people are trying to figure this out alone.
That’s why I created The Missing Manual.
Inside the guide you'll learn:
What to eat (and what to avoid)
How to manage nausea & digestive side effects
Safe, realistic exercise approaches
How to stay consistent when motivation dips
The mistakes many people make in the first few months
Inside the guide you'll get:
100+ pages of practical guidance
14 easy-to-follow chapters
Practical advice informed by real experience and research

Starting weight-loss medication sounds simple
The reality often isn’t.
Most people expect the prescription to do the work.
What catches many off guard is everything else:
Appetite changes
Side effects
Confusion about what to eat
Worry about exercising safely
Second-guessing every decision
It can feel overwhelming — especially in the first few weeks.
If you’re feeling unsure, frustrated or anxious about getting it right, you’re not alone.
THE REALITY BEHIND THE STRUGGLES MANY FACE WHEN STARTING glp-1 injections
"I THOUGHT WEIGHT-LOSS JABS WOULD CHANGE EVERYTHING... BUT I WASN'T PREPARED FOR HOW HARD IT WOULD BE."
I remember holding that first pen in my hand — hopeful, nervous, and a little scared.
After hearing all the success stories, I thought this would finally be the thing that worked for me. But as the DAYS went on, the reality hit hard.
The nausea. The upset stomach. The constant second-guessing about what to eat. One day, I’d feel proud and optimistic. The next, I’d feel completely defeated.
I’d scroll through forums late at night, reading post after post from people who had given up — and others who seemed to be losing weight effortlessly. I kept wondering which one I’d become.
Every injection felt like both a promise and a gamble. Was I doing this right? Was I wasting money on something that might not even work for me?
Then came the moment that nearly broke me.
After weeks of trying, my weight didn’t budge. I felt nauseous, drained, and frustrated. I thought, maybe my body just doesn’t respond like everyone else’s.
I was so close to quitting.
But as I dug deeper — through research, expert guidance, and real stories from people who had succeeded — I realised the problem wasn’t the medication. It was the lack of reliable, structured support.
Everyone was telling fragments of the story — but no one was putting it all together.
That’s when The Missing Manual was born: a clear, research-backed guide that helps you cut through the noise and finally take control of your journey.
