Noticing the weight creeping up in August, and knowing I’d be working more, I decided to try the [ketogenic diet](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK499830/). I enjoy mostly eating meat and staying low carb, and your brain on ketones can feel like a [superpower](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8840718/). However, it typically takes 2–3 months for your body to adapt to running on ketones. You could fast or do a lot of cardio to speed the process, but even then your body might resist ketosis at first. I’m impatient and wanted full ketosis in under a month.

My solution? Use Ozempic. It’s a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps lower blood sugar and suppress appetite. (Do your own research on GLP-1 agonists; I suggest following [Peter Attia’s work](https://peterattiamd.com/ama64/).) We don’t know all of the long-term effects, but I decided to try it for a month to jump-start keto. In that month, I lost 10 lbs (from 187 to 177), but I felt very fatigued and had low energy during workouts and daily tasks. Surprisingly, Ozempic also cut down my cravings for quick dopamine hits, including alcohol. I now average only 1–2 drinks of scotch per week.

After a month, once I was producing enough ketones, I stopped the Ozempic shots and fully followed a ketogenic diet.
