Where should I inject, and does the site matter?
Upper arm, belly, thigh or backside. Rotate weekly. Users report arm and stomach work better on food noise.
Injection sites are the upper arm, belly, thigh and backside. Alternate them rather than poking the same spot every week, especially if your skin gets irritated.
Something worth knowing that is not in any package insert: users report that when injecting into the thigh or backside, food noise comes back. For reasons unknown, shots in the arm and stomach are socially reported to be more effective for appetite suppression and food-noise control. Take it as community data, not clinical fact.
Keep a record of your dose and injection location so you can actually see the pattern.
