# Cafeity — full index Last updated 2026-09-27. Canonical domain https://cafeity.com. Cafeity is on the App Store for iPhone (iOS 17.0 or later), free to download, with Cafeity Pro as an optional in-app subscription: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cafeity-glp-1-tracker/id6806243576 Cafeity is a general wellness product. It is intended to help individuals record and review information about their own daily habits, self-reported symptoms, body measurements and self-administered medication schedule, and to organise that information for their own reference and for discussion with a licensed healthcare professional. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate or prevent any disease or condition, does not provide medical advice, and does not recommend, calculate, adjust or advise on medication doses or schedules. --- ## Cafeity — GLP-1 tracker for iPhone URL: https://cafeity.com/ Cafeity is a general wellness app for iPhone for people taking a GLP-1 medication. It records doses, protein-first nutrition, symptoms and body measurements, shows an estimated medication level across the week (the Cycle View), and exports a one-page Visit Summary for a prescriber. It does not diagnose or treat any condition and never advises on doses. --- ## About Cafeity URL: https://cafeity.com/about Cafeity is built around the medication cycle rather than retrofitted from a calorie counter. Four principles: describe never prescribe; built around the cycle; protein first because lean mass is the real concern on a GLP-1; and yours and portable — full export, medication-agnostic, provider-agnostic, no ads and no data sales. --- ## Cafeity FAQs URL: https://cafeity.com/faqs Cafeity is a general wellness product, not medical advice. It is medication-agnostic — semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide and others are labels on a dose record. The Cycle View is a schedule model built from logged doses and the published half-life, not a blood measurement. Ora answers questions about your own record with every figure calculated by the app first and checked against the log. Health data is never stored in iCloud, never sold and never used for advertising. --- ## Cafeity changelog URL: https://cafeity.com/changelog Release notes covering the Cycle View, Visit Summary, Gentle mode, protein-first nutrition, Ora, the injection site map and the offline food database. --- ## Get Cafeity URL: https://cafeity.com/waitlist Cafeity is on the App Store for iPhone, free to download.

URL: https://cafeity.com/alternatives/cafeity-vs-shotsy-vs-meagain Cafeity, Shotsy and MeAgain compared on price, privacy, dose and side-effect logging, food, reports for your doctor and design, from each App Store listing. --- ## Cafeity vs Shotsy — an honest comparison URL: https://cafeity.com/alternatives/shotsy Shotsy and Cafeity both track GLP-1 doses, side effects and weight. Where Shotsy is ahead, where they differ on data and tone, and which fits you. --- ## The best GLP-1 tracker apps in 2026, compared URL: https://cafeity.com/alternatives/best-glp-1-tracker-apps The most established GLP-1 tracker apps are Shotsy (4.8 stars from over 32,000 App Store ratings, iPhone and Android) and MeAgain (4.8 from over 34,000, iPhone and Android). Glowise leans on AI food logging and meal plans; Glapp on community and clinical comparisons; Pep AI and Regimen on peptides as well as GLP-1s. Cafeity, launched in September 2026, is iPhone-only, has no ratings yet, and is built as a private record that never advises on doses. Which is "best" depends on whether you want coaching, food logging, peptide tracking or a record for your prescriber. --- ## Editorial policy: how Cafeity guides are written URL: https://cafeity.com/editorial-policy Cafeity's guides are written by the Cafeity team from primary sources: first the US prescribing information for each medicine, read from DailyMed; then published trials and guidance from regulators and professional bodies. Every figure is cited where it appears. The guides use generic medicine names only, never give dose advice or predictions, and have not yet been reviewed by a clinician — when a named reviewer checks a page, their name, credentials and the date will appear on it. Corrections go to support@shaheercare.com. --- ## Visit Summary: a one-page GLP-1 report for your doctor URL: https://cafeity.com/features/visit-summary The Visit Summary is a one-page PDF that Cafeity builds from your own record for a period you choose — four weeks, three months, six months or custom. You tick which sections to include: medication and doses (schedule, adherence and dose changes), weight trend, body measurements, symptoms (type, severity and timing against doses), protein and energy, activity and sleep, and notes you have tagged for your prescriber. Nothing is shared until you export it. The free plan includes one Visit Summary a quarter; Cafeity Pro makes it unlimited. --- ## Cycle View: your estimated GLP-1 medication level URL: https://cafeity.com/features/cycle-view The Cycle View is an estimated medication level drawn from the dates of the doses you log and the published half-life of your medicine — about a week for semaglutide, about 5 days for tirzepatide, about 13 hours for liraglutide and 29 to 49 hours for orforglipron. Every dose is modelled as decaying by half each half-life, and the doses are added together. It is labelled on screen as an estimate, not a measurement, and it is never used to suggest when or how much to take. It is part of Cafeity Pro. --- ## Ora explained: what Cafeity's companion does and doesn't do URL: https://cafeity.com/features/ora Ora is the AI companion in Cafeity. It answers questions about your own record — "How was my week?", "When are my symptoms worst?" — writes a short daily note, and can log something for you when you ask, once you confirm it. The app computes every figure about you first, from what you logged, and Ora only puts those figures into sentences. Ora will not give medical advice, name conditions, comment on doses or predict outcomes. The AI features need a separate consent, and you can decline them and still use the whole app. Ora chat and the daily note are part of Cafeity Pro. --- ## Food logging in Cafeity: photo, search, barcode URL: https://cafeity.com/features/food-logging Cafeity logs food four ways: a photo of the plate, analysed by AI; a search of a database built on USDA FoodData Central and Open Food Facts; a barcode scan; or quick-add of just protein or calories. It counts calories, protein, carbohydrate, fat and fibre, leads with protein, fibre and water, never colours food red, and never sets an energy target below 1,200 kcal. AI photo logging has a free allowance; unlimited use is part of Cafeity Pro. --- ## Apple Health, widgets and reminders in Cafeity URL: https://cafeity.com/features/apple-health Cafeity can read weight, height, body-fat percentage, lean mass, waist, steps, active energy, exercise time and sleep from Apple Health, and can write back the weight, body measurements and food values you enter — never estimated or AI-derived values. Each kind of data is requested separately, when you first use it, and everything also works by manual entry if you decline. There are four home-screen widgets — Today, Next dose, Protein and Ora — and optional dose and water reminders. --- ## GLP-1 glossary: the terms, explained plainly URL: https://cafeity.com/glossary Plain-English definitions of the words used around GLP-1 medicines — half-life, dose escalation, food noise, boxed warning, steady state and more, with sources. --- ## GLP-1 constipation: why it happens and what helps URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/glp-1-constipation Constipation is one of the most common GLP-1 side effects: in the weight-management trials it was reported by 24% of people on semaglutide 2.4 mg (11% on placebo), up to 17% on tirzepatide (5%), 19.4% on liraglutide 3 mg (8.5%) and up to 27% on orforglipron (9%). A 2025 joint nutrition advisory recommends adequate fluids and fibre from food first, with fibre supplements or laxatives as options to discuss with a clinician. Severe stomach pain, a swollen abdomen, vomiting, or being unable to pass stool or wind needs urgent medical attention. --- ## Food noise on a GLP-1: what it is and how to track it URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/food-noise Food noise is the persistent, intrusive thinking about food that some people experience — researchers define it as heightened or persistent reactivity to food cues, often leading to intrusive food-related thoughts. Many people taking GLP-1 medicines describe it quietening, which fits what the labels say about how the medicines work: the GLP-1 receptor sits in brain areas that regulate appetite. Measuring food noise is still new territory for research. Some people notice it returning towards the end of a dosing week or after stopping; a simple daily rating is the best way to see your own pattern. --- ## How long does semaglutide stay in your system? URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/how-long-does-semaglutide-stay-in-your-system Semaglutide has an elimination half-life of about one week, and its prescribing information says it will be present in the circulation for about 5 to 7 weeks after the last dose. Roughly half the level at your last dose remains after 7 days, a quarter after 14 days and about 3% after 5 weeks. The same long half-life is why the label advises stopping at least 2 months before a planned pregnancy, and why a missed or late dose changes the level only gradually. --- ## How long does tirzepatide stay in your system? URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/how-long-does-tirzepatide-stay-in-your-system Tirzepatide has an elimination half-life of about 5 to 6 days in people with overweight or obesity. That means roughly 40% of the level at your last dose remains after a week, about 15% after two weeks and a few percent after four; after five half-lives — about 25 to 30 days — around 3% is left. It reaches its peak about 24 hours after an injection and a steady level after about 4 weeks of weekly doses. --- ## What to eat on GLP-1 injection day URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/what-to-eat-on-injection-day There is no special injection-day diet in any GLP-1 label. Semaglutide and tirzepatide injections can be given at any time of day, with or without meals, and liraglutide without regard to meals. The tablets differ: semaglutide tablets must be taken on an empty stomach with a little water and a 30-minute wait before food, while orforglipron can be taken with or without food. Practically, many people do best with a protein-first, smaller-than-usual meal around the injection, plenty of fluids, and simple, low-fat food on the day or two afterwards if that is when they feel queasy. --- ## GLP-1 nausea: how common it is and what helps URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/glp-1-nausea Nausea is the most commonly reported side effect of GLP-1 medicines. In the weight-management trials it affected 44% of people on semaglutide 2.4 mg (16% on placebo), up to 29% on tirzepatide (8% on placebo), 39% on liraglutide 3 mg (14% on placebo) and up to 35% on orforglipron (10% on placebo). The labels say it was most common while the dose was being stepped up, and decreased over time. Nausea that will not settle, vomiting that stops you keeping fluids down, or stomach pain that does not go away are reasons to contact a clinician. --- ## GLP-1 weight-loss plateau: what the trials show URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/glp-1-weight-loss-plateau Weight loss on a GLP-1 slows and eventually levels off for almost everyone. In the STEP 1 trial of semaglutide 2.4 mg, average weight fell from the first month, reached its lowest point around week 60, and held steady to week 68, at 14.9% below baseline on average. Day-to-day readings swing with water, salt and food, so a plateau is best judged on a smoothed trend over several weeks, and not in the weeks straight after a dose change. Whether and how treatment should change is a conversation with your prescriber. --- ## Questions to ask your doctor about GLP-1 medicines URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/questions-to-ask-your-doctor Before starting a GLP-1, the medication guides ask you to tell your prescriber about pancreas problems, severe stomach or digestion problems, diabetic eye disease, planned surgery, pregnancy plans, breastfeeding, all your other medicines, and any personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN 2. Worth asking in return: what the plan is for increasing the dose, which side effects to call about, what to do if you miss a dose, how progress will be judged and when, and what happens if you stop. Bring a dated record of doses, weight, side effects and eating — it makes a ten-minute appointment go much further. --- ## When GLP-1 side effects start and how long they last URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/glp-1-side-effects-timeline GLP-1 side effects usually start in the first days to weeks of treatment and are most common while the dose is being increased. The labels for semaglutide, tirzepatide and orforglipron all describe gastrointestinal reactions as most frequent during dose escalation and decreasing over time. They can return briefly after each dose increase. Within a week, some people feel worst a day or two after an injection, when blood levels peak. Side effects that are severe or not easing are a reason to contact your prescriber rather than wait. --- ## GLP-1 side effects: what the labels report URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/glp-1-side-effects The most common side effects of GLP-1 medicines are nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, constipation, stomach pain and indigestion. In the weight-management trials, 73% of people on semaglutide 2.4 mg reported a gastrointestinal reaction against 47% on placebo, and 56% on tirzepatide against 30%. They are most common while the dose is being increased. Less common but serious reactions — pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, dehydration leading to kidney problems, severe allergic reactions — are reasons to contact a clinician promptly. --- ## GLP-1 sulphur burps: burping and what helps URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/glp-1-sulfur-burps Burping (eructation) is a listed side effect of GLP-1 medicines: 7% of people on semaglutide 2.4 mg reported it against under 1% on placebo, 4–5% on tirzepatide against 1%, 4.5% on liraglutide 3 mg against 0.2%, and 6–8% on orforglipron against 1%. "Sulphur" burps smell of rotten eggs because of gas produced as food is broken down; a slower-emptying stomach gives that more time. Smaller meals and going easy on fatty food are the main suggestions. Burping with severe stomach pain, persistent vomiting or diarrhoea needs a clinician. --- ## What to eat on a GLP-1: the evidence-based guide URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/what-to-eat-on-a-glp-1 There is no special GLP-1 diet; the labels say these medicines are used with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. The 2025 joint advisory from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, the American Society for Nutrition, the Obesity Medicine Association and The Obesity Society puts the priorities as: nutrient-dense, minimally processed food; enough protein (1.2 to 1.6 g per kg of body weight a day has been proposed during active weight loss, or a practical 80 to 120 g); fibre and fluids; attention to micronutrients such as vitamin D, calcium and B12; and limiting alcohol. Smaller, more frequent meals help with the common gut side effects. --- ## Eating on a GLP-1 when you have no appetite URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/eating-with-no-appetite GLP-1 medicines reduce calorie intake by affecting appetite, so on low-appetite days the priority shifts to eating enough of what matters. The 2025 joint advisory suggests eating breakfast and then something small every three to four hours, rather than waiting for hunger, with protein first and nutrient-dense foods. Drinks and soft foods — milk, yoghurt, soups, smoothies, protein shakes — often go down when meals will not. If you cannot eat or drink for a day or more, or keep fluids down, contact your prescriber. --- ## Hydration and electrolytes on a GLP-1 URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/glp-1-hydration The GLP-1 labels warn that nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea can cause dehydration, and that acute kidney injury has been reported, mostly in people who became dehydrated; the patient information says drinking fluids helps reduce the risk. Reference intakes for total water are about 2.0 L a day for women and 2.5 L for men in Europe, and 2.7 L and 3.7 L in the US, including water from food. Plain water suits most days; oral rehydration solutions are designed for replacing losses from vomiting or diarrhoea. Very little or very dark urine, dizziness or confusion are signs to act on. --- ## Alcohol on a GLP-1: side effects and the research URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/glp-1-and-alcohol The GLP-1 labels do not forbid alcohol, but the 2025 joint nutrition advisory notes it may worsen nausea and reflux on these medicines and should be minimised. For people on insulin or a sulfonylurea, alcohol adds to the risk of low blood sugar. Research into GLP-1 medicines and alcohol use is early: in a 2025 trial of 48 adults with alcohol use disorder, low-dose semaglutide reduced how much people drank in a laboratory session and on drinking days, but not how many days they drank. No GLP-1 medicine is approved to treat alcohol use disorder. --- ## Eating out on a GLP-1: restaurants and fast food URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/eating-out-on-a-glp-1 The same principles apply out as at home: protein first, smaller portions, less fatty and fried food, and going easy on alcohol, which may worsen nausea and reflux. In practice that means ordering a starter or half portion, choosing grilled, baked or steamed protein, asking for sauces on the side, eating slowly, and boxing up the rest. On the day or two after an injection, when appetite is often lowest, a simpler meal may sit better. --- ## Your first month on a GLP-1: what to expect URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/first-month-on-a-glp-1 In the first month on a GLP-1, the medicine is still building up — weekly semaglutide takes 4 to 5 weeks to reach a steady level and tirzepatide about 4 weeks — and treatment starts at a low dose that is increased later. Appetite often changes within days. Gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea are common in the early weeks and around dose increases, and usually ease. It is a good month to set up the basics: your first injection shown by a clinician, a site-rotation habit, regular meals with protein, fluids, and a starting weight. --- ## Travelling with a GLP-1: storage, flying and time zones URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/travelling-with-a-glp-1 Each GLP-1 label sets how long the medicine may be kept out of the fridge: semaglutide single-dose pens up to 28 days at 8–30°C before the cap is removed, tirzepatide single-dose pens up to 21 days in total at up to 30°C, dulaglutide pens up to 14 days, while semaglutide and orforglipron tablets are stored at room temperature. None may be frozen. In the US, the TSA allows medically necessary liquids above 3.4 oz in carry-on bags, screened separately, and ice or gel packs to keep them cool. Keep medicines in your hand luggage, and agree with your prescriber how to handle your dose day across time zones. --- ## Stopping a GLP-1: what happens to weight and appetite URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/stopping-a-glp-1 In trials that stopped treatment, much of the lost weight returned within a year. In the STEP 1 extension, people who stopped semaglutide regained about two-thirds of the weight they had lost over the following year. In SURMOUNT-4, people switched from tirzepatide to placebo after 36 weeks regained an average of 14% of body weight over the next 52 weeks, while those who continued lost a further 5.5%. The medicines leave the body over weeks — semaglutide is present for about 5 to 7 weeks after the last dose — so appetite returns gradually. Whether and how to stop is a decision to make with your prescriber. --- ## GLP-1s, contraception, pregnancy and breastfeeding URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/glp-1-contraception-and-pregnancy Some GLP-1 labels say oral contraceptives may work less well for a time: tirzepatide's advises switching to a non-oral method or adding a barrier method for 4 weeks after starting and after each dose increase, and orforglipron's for 30 days. Semaglutide's label advises stopping at least 2 months before a planned pregnancy because of its long half-life. The weight-management labels say to stop treatment when a pregnancy is recognised. Breastfeeding is not recommended on semaglutide tablets or orforglipron; for the injections, the labels ask you to weigh the benefits with your prescriber. --- ## Keeping records for GLP-1 prior authorization renewals URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/prior-authorization-records Prior authorization criteria for GLP-1 medicines vary by insurance plan, and renewals may ask your prescriber to document things such as your starting weight and BMI, how your weight has changed since starting, and that you are taking the medicine as prescribed. The only reliable source for your plan's criteria is the plan itself. A dated record of doses, weight as a trend, and side effects lets your prescriber answer quickly and accurately; Cafeity's Visit Summary produces that on one page. --- ## The GLP-1 medicines explained, by generic name URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/glp-1-medicines-explained GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic a gut hormone, GLP-1, that regulates appetite and blood sugar. The main ones in the US are semaglutide (weekly injection or daily tablet), tirzepatide (weekly injection; it also acts on the GIP receptor), liraglutide (daily injection), dulaglutide (weekly injection), exenatide (twice-daily injection) and orforglipron (a daily tablet approved in 2026). They differ mainly in how often they are taken — which follows from their half-lives, from about 2.4 hours for exenatide to about a week for semaglutide — and in what they are approved for. --- ## Semaglutide vs tirzepatide: what the trials show URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/semaglutide-vs-tirzepatide Semaglutide acts on the GLP-1 receptor; tirzepatide acts on both the GLP-1 and GIP receptors. In SURMOUNT-5, a head-to-head trial in 751 adults with obesity but without diabetes, average weight change at 72 weeks was −20.2% on tirzepatide and −13.7% on semaglutide, each at the highest dose tolerated. Both have mostly gastrointestinal side effects, most common during dose increases. Semaglutide is weekly or a daily tablet with a half-life of about a week; tirzepatide is weekly with a half-life of about 5–6 days. Which suits you depends on your health, other conditions, tolerability, cost and coverage — a decision for your prescriber. --- ## Liraglutide vs semaglutide: the STEP 8 trial and more URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/liraglutide-vs-semaglutide Liraglutide is a daily injection with a half-life of about 13 hours; semaglutide is a weekly injection (or daily tablet) with a half-life of about a week. In the STEP 8 trial of 338 adults with overweight or obesity without diabetes, average weight change at 68 weeks was −15.8% on weekly semaglutide 2.4 mg and −6.4% on daily liraglutide 3 mg. Both have mainly gastrointestinal side effects. Generic liraglutide is FDA-approved, for type 2 diabetes since December 2024 and for weight management since August 2025. --- ## GLP-1 pills vs injections: what is different URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/glp-1-pill-vs-injection Two GLP-1 tablets are approved for weight management in the US: oral semaglutide 25 mg, which must be taken on an empty stomach with a little water and a 30-minute wait, and orforglipron, which can be taken with or without food. In their trials, average weight change was −13.6% at 64 weeks for semaglutide tablets and up to −11.1% at 72 weeks for orforglipron, against −14.9% at 68 weeks for weekly semaglutide injections in STEP 1. Side effects are similar in kind. Tablets need no fridge or needles but must be taken every day. --- ## Compounded GLP-1 medicines: what the FDA says URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/compounded-glp-1s Compounded GLP-1 medicines are versions of semaglutide or tirzepatide made by compounding pharmacies rather than approved manufacturers. The FDA does not review compounded drugs for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are marketed, and it has reported concerns including dosing errors — some leading to hospitalisation — and the use of unapproved salt forms. With the national shortages resolved, the FDA has clarified that compounders face tighter limits on making copies of approved drugs. If you take a compounded product, check the concentration and the dose in both milligrams and millilitres with your pharmacist, every time. --- ## GLP-1 diarrhoea: how common it is and what helps URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/glp-1-diarrhea Diarrhoea is one of the most common GLP-1 side effects: in the weight-management trials it was reported by 30% of people on semaglutide 2.4 mg (16% on placebo), up to 23% on tirzepatide (8%), 20.9% on liraglutide 3 mg (9.9%) and up to 25% on orforglipron (11%). The labels warn that vomiting and diarrhoea can cause dehydration severe enough to affect the kidneys, so fluids come first. A 2025 nutrition advisory suggests avoiding large or high-fat meals. Diarrhoea that will not stop, blood in the stool, or signs of dehydration need a clinician. --- ## GLP-1 fatigue: why you feel tired and what helps URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/glp-1-fatigue Tiredness (fatigue) is a listed side effect of GLP-1 medicines: 11% of people on semaglutide 2.4 mg reported it against 5% on placebo, up to 7% on tirzepatide against 3%, 7.5% on liraglutide 3 mg against 4.6%, and up to 9% on orforglipron against 4%. The liraglutide label notes that tiredness, weakness and dizziness were mainly reported in the first 12 weeks, often alongside nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea. Eating too little, dehydration and poor sleep all contribute. Persistent or severe tiredness, fainting, or signs of low blood sugar need a clinician. --- ## GLP-1 headaches: how common, why, and what helps URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/glp-1-headache Headache is listed as a side effect on some GLP-1 labels, but the gap over placebo is modest: 14% on semaglutide 2.4 mg against 10% on placebo, 13.6% on liraglutide 3 mg against 12.6%, and 8–9% on orforglipron against 7%. Headache is not among tirzepatide's common reactions in its weight-management label. Common contributors are dehydration, eating much less, and — for people on insulin or a sulfonylurea — low blood sugar. A sudden severe headache, or one with vision changes, confusion or weakness, needs urgent care. --- ## GLP-1 heartburn, reflux and indigestion URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/glp-1-heartburn Indigestion and reflux are listed side effects of GLP-1 medicines. In the weight-management trials, indigestion (dyspepsia) was reported by 9% on semaglutide 2.4 mg against 3% on placebo, up to 10% on tirzepatide against 4%, 9.6% on liraglutide 3 mg against 2.7%, and up to 16% on orforglipron against 4%; reflux (GERD) by 4–7% against 2–3%. Smaller meals, less fat, not lying down soon after eating and limiting alcohol are the usual first steps. Trouble swallowing, vomiting blood or black stools need urgent attention, and chest pain should never be assumed to be heartburn. --- ## GLP-1 dizziness: causes, blood pressure and red flags URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/glp-1-dizziness Dizziness is a listed side effect of GLP-1 medicines: 8% on semaglutide 2.4 mg against 4% on placebo, 4–5% on tirzepatide against 2%, 6.9% on liraglutide 3 mg against 5%, and 4% on orforglipron against 3%. Low blood pressure was also more common on treatment — 1.6% on tirzepatide against 0.1% — and more so in people taking blood-pressure medicines. Dehydration and, with insulin or a sulfonylurea, low blood sugar are other causes. Fainting, a racing heart at rest or chest pain need a clinician. --- ## GLP-1 bloating and gas: why and what helps URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/glp-1-bloating-and-gas Bloating (abdominal distension) and wind (flatulence) are listed GLP-1 side effects. In the weight-management trials, bloating was reported by 7% on semaglutide 2.4 mg against 5% on placebo, up to 4% on tirzepatide against 2%, 4.5% on liraglutide 3 mg against 3%, and up to 9% on orforglipron against 3%; wind by 3–6% against 2–4%. Smaller meals, eating slowly and increasing fibre gradually tend to help. Severe pain with a swollen abdomen, vomiting or being unable to pass wind needs urgent care. --- ## GLP-1 hair loss: how common, why, and regrowth URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/glp-1-hair-loss Hair loss is a listed side effect on the weight-management labels: 3.3% on semaglutide 2.4 mg against 1% on placebo, 4–5% on tirzepatide against 1%, and 4–5% on orforglipron against 2%. The labels say it was associated with weight reduction, and it was reported mainly by women — 7.1% of women against 0.5% of men on tirzepatide. Shedding after rapid weight loss is usually a temporary form called telogen effluvium, which typically improves over months. Protein and nutrients matter; patchy loss, scalp symptoms or shedding beyond six months are worth a doctor's look. --- ## GLP-1 injection-site reactions: redness, bruises, lumps URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/injection-site-reactions Injection-site reactions — redness, itching, pain, bruising, swelling or a small lump — are listed on the GLP-1 labels: 6–8% on tirzepatide against 2% on placebo, 13.9% on liraglutide 3 mg against 10.5%, and 1.4% on semaglutide 2.4 mg against 1%. The labels ask you to rotate injection sites with each dose and not to inject into skin that is tender, bruised, red or hard, or that has pits, thickening or lumps. A site that is hot, spreading, very painful or oozing, or a reaction with swelling of the face or trouble breathing, needs prompt care. --- ## GLP-1 skin sensitivity, tingling and burning skin URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/glp-1-skin-sensitivity Dysaesthesia — altered skin sensation such as tingling, burning, pain or sensitivity of the skin — was reported by 22% of people on semaglutide 7.2 mg, against 6% on 2.4 mg and 0.3% on placebo, and by 5% on the semaglutide 25 mg tablet against none on placebo. The label says it increased with dose and drug levels; most people recovered, some after a dose change. It is rare on tirzepatide (under 1%). Tell your prescriber about it — do not change your dose yourself. --- ## GLP-1 medicines and mood: what the evidence says URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/glp-1-mood In January 2026 the FDA asked for warnings about suicidal behaviour and ideation to be removed from the labels of GLP-1 weight-management medicines, after its review — including a meta-analysis of 91 placebo-controlled trials — did not identify an increased risk. The current labels for semaglutide, tirzepatide and liraglutide no longer carry that warning. The labels do list anxiety in some trials at low rates, and mood changes appear among the signs of low blood sugar for people on insulin or a sulfonylurea. Anyone with low mood or thoughts of self-harm should speak to a clinician; in a crisis, call emergency services — in the US you can call or text 988. --- ## GLP-1 medicines and sleep: insomnia and sleep apnoea URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/glp-1-sleep Insomnia is uncommon on GLP-1 medicines: the liraglutide 3 mg label reports it in 2.4% of people against 1.7% on placebo. More often, sleep is disturbed by night-time nausea, reflux or hunger. Separately, tirzepatide is approved in the US to treat moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea in adults with obesity. An earlier, smaller evening meal helps many people with night-time reflux; persistent poor sleep is worth raising with a clinician. --- ## GLP-1 muscle loss: what the body-composition data show URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/glp-1-muscle-loss On GLP-1 medicines most weight lost is fat, but some is lean mass. In the SURMOUNT-1 body-composition substudy, people on tirzepatide lost 21.3% of body weight at 72 weeks, including 33.9% of fat mass and 10.9% of lean mass (placebo: 5.3%, 8.2% and 2.6%). Across studies the lean share of weight lost varies widely — from about 15% or less to 40–60% — and a 2024 review concluded that, on MRI, muscle changes look largely in line with the amount of weight lost. The 2025 joint advisory recommends adequate protein — 1.2 to 1.6 g per kg of body weight a day has been proposed during active weight loss — and regular resistance training. --- ## Working through nausea days on a GLP-1 URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/life/working-through-nausea-days On a nausea day, eat something small and plain early rather than skipping breakfast, then small amounts every 3–4 hours with sips of fluid; ginger or peppermint tea and acupressure bands may help. Ease the commute with fresh air and a front seat, move demanding meetings away from your worst hours, keep lunch small and low in fat, and ask your prescriber about anti-nausea medicine if it keeps happening. Vomiting that won't stop needs a clinician. --- ## Clothes sizes changing on a GLP-1: practical tips URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/life/clothes-sizes-changing While your size is changing, buy a few versatile transitional pieces rather than a whole wardrobe, favour stretch fabrics and adjustable waists, alter good clothes that are only a little big, and pass the rest on through resale, donation or textile recycling. Measure yourself and use each brand's size chart when buying online. In the US, only about 13% of discarded clothing and footwear was recycled in 2018, according to the EPA. --- ## Habits to keep after stopping a GLP-1 URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/life/habits-after-stopping-a-glp-1 Plan stopping with your prescriber. When GLP-1 medicines are stopped, weight regain is common — typically nearly back to baseline within a year — and structured lifestyle programmes to prevent it have not yet been tested in controlled trials. Habits associated with keeping weight off in other research include about an hour of physical activity a day, self-monitoring weight and food, regular meals and support from other people. Keeping up protein and strength training helps protect muscle. --- ## High-protein breakfasts when you're not hungry URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/life/high-protein-breakfasts When you aren't hungry, keep breakfast small, protein-first and easy to swallow: Greek yoghurt, a milk or kefir smoothie, cottage cheese, eggs or a tofu scramble. A pot of plain nonfat Greek yoghurt has about 16.1 g of protein. The 2025 joint advisory suggests a daily protein target of 80 to 120 g, eating protein-rich foods first, and notes that thin, easy-flowing foods leave the stomach faster. --- ## Protein on a budget: what 20 g of protein costs URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/life/protein-on-a-budget At US average prices for August 2026, 20 g of protein cost about $0.34 from dried beans, $0.56 from low-fat milk, $0.60 from eggs and $0.82 from boneless chicken breast; lean ground beef was the only food we priced above $2. On a small appetite, check the calories that come with the protein too: chicken breast delivers 20 g for about 100 kcal, white rice for about 1,024. --- ## Grocery list for low-appetite weeks (free printable) URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/life/low-appetite-grocery-list On a low-appetite week, shop for small, frequent meals: ready-to-eat protein such as Greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, eggs, cooked chicken, canned fish and tofu; drinkable foods like milk, kefir and soup; gentle starches; easy fruit; fibre helpers such as prunes and kiwi; and fluids, including ginger or peppermint tea. Buy small packs and check storage times — cooked chicken keeps 3 to 4 days in the fridge. --- ## Meal prep for small appetites on a GLP-1 URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/life/meal-prep-for-small-appetites Meal prep for a small appetite means cooking as usual but portioning small: single servings of about a cup, with protein in each. Cool food quickly in shallow containers and refrigerate it within 2 hours, eat refrigerated portions within 3 to 4 days and freeze the rest, then reheat to 165 °F (74 °C). Cooked meat and poultry keep 2 to 6 months in the freezer. --- ## Thanksgiving on a GLP-1: eating, drinking, saying no URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/life/thanksgiving-on-a-glp-1 Plan Thanksgiving around a smaller plate rather than one big one. Eat normally earlier in the day instead of saving up, start the meal with protein such as turkey, eat slowly and stop at the first sign of fullness, keep alcohol to a minimum, and refrigerate leftovers within two hours. Nobody is owed a medical explanation for how much you eat. --- ## Holiday parties on a GLP-1: the office and family plan URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/life/holiday-parties-on-a-glp-1 Eat a small, protein-rich snack before a party so you don't arrive overly hungry, take protein first from the buffet onto a small plate, eat slowly, and keep alcohol to a minimum, alternating any drinks with water. Have a short line ready for anyone who pushes food or drink, and skip buffet food that has sat out for more than two hours. --- ## Strength training on a GLP-1: a beginner's week at home URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/life/strength-training-on-a-glp-1 The 2025 joint advisory on nutrition and GLP-1 therapy recommends strength training at least three times a week plus at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity, to help preserve muscle and bone. A beginner can do that at home: two sets of six simple moves — chair squats, wall push-ups, bridges, backpack rows, carries and calf raises — on three non-consecutive days, adding reps, then sets, then weight as they get easier, with enough protein through the day. --- ## Walking more on a GLP-1: building a habit that lasts URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/life/walking-on-a-glp-1 Build up to about 150 minutes of brisk walking a week — the federal guidelines' minimum for adults — and treat steps as a trend rather than a daily test. In a 2022 meta-analysis of 15 cohorts, more daily steps were linked to a progressively lower risk of death, levelling off at about 6,000–8,000 steps a day in adults aged 60 and over and 8,000–10,000 in younger adults. Walk at the same time, or after the same daily routine; consistency is what turns walking into a habit. --- ## Telling people you're on a GLP-1 (or not): scripts URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/life/telling-people-youre-on-a-glp-1 You don't have to tell anyone you're on a GLP-1. In the US, an employer generally may not ask all employees which prescription medicines they take, and must treat medical information you choose to share as a confidential record. If you do want to tell people, keep it short: say what you are comfortable sharing, what support you would like, and what you would rather not discuss. You are far from alone — in a November 2025 poll, 12% of US adults said they were currently taking a GLP-1. --- ## Supporting a partner on a GLP-1: what actually helps URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/life/supporting-a-partner-on-a-glp-1 The most useful support is practical: cook or order smaller portions with some protein, keep easy foods in the house for low-appetite days, take over on bad side-effect days, and don't comment on what or how much they eat. Ask what they want rather than guessing, leave treatment decisions to them and their prescriber, and know the warning signs — such as severe stomach pain that will not go away — that mean calling a clinician. --- ## Dating on a GLP-1: dinners, drinks and small appetites URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/life/dating-on-a-glp-1 Choose date plans that aren't only about a big meal — coffee, a walk, a show, a market — and when dinner is the plan, order a starter or small plate with some protein, eat slowly and take the rest home. Keep alcohol to a minimum, since it may worsen nausea and reflux on these medicines. Whether you mention your medicine, and when, is entirely up to you. --- ## Non-scale victories on a GLP-1: 40 wins to write down URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/life/non-scale-victories A non-scale victory is a change the bathroom scale cannot show: clothes that fit differently, stairs that feel easier, quieter food noise, a blood-pressure reading your clinician mentions. Writing each one down with the date builds a record that does not swing from day to day the way body weight does, and gives you specifics to bring to an appointment. --- ## How to take progress photos you can actually compare URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/life/progress-photos Take every progress photo in the same spot, at the same time of day and in the same clothes, with the phone at chest height about 2 m (6 ft) away and the light in front of you. Use the 1× lens, keep the same aspect ratio, turn on the grid and use the self-timer, and repeat the same three poses — front, side and back — every four weeks. --- ## How to measure waist, hips and chest consistently URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/life/how-to-measure-waist-hips-chest Measure in the morning before eating, standing relaxed with your feet together, at the end of a normal breath out. Keep the tape level and snug without pressing into the skin. Measure your waist halfway between your lowest rib and the top of your hip bone, and your hips around the widest part of your buttocks. Measure twice and average the readings if they are within 1 cm (½ in). --- ## 30 GLP-1 journal prompts for hard days and good ones URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/life/glp-1-journal-prompts Here are 30 prompts in three groups: ten for hard days, ten for good days and ten for looking back and ahead. Pick one a day, write for five minutes and keep it private. Research on expressive writing finds a small average benefit — a 2006 meta-analysis of 146 randomised studies found a small but significant positive effect — so treat journaling as a useful habit, not a treatment. --- ## GLP-1 insurance appeals: the records that help URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/life/insurance-appeals-glp-1 To appeal a denied GLP-1 claim, ask your plan for the reason and its written coverage criteria, then file an internal appeal within 180 days of the denial notice. Include the denial letter, a letter of medical necessity from your prescriber and records that answer each criterion: dated weights and BMI, related conditions, previous treatment and how you are doing on the medicine. If the plan upholds its denial, you can usually ask for an independent external review within 4 months. --- ## GLP-1 follow-up appointment checklist: how to prepare URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/life/glp-1-follow-up-appointment-checklist The day before a GLP-1 follow-up, gather a list of every medicine and supplement you take, your dose record with any late or missed doses, your weight trend and measurements, a note of side effects — what, when, how bad and what helped — and your top three questions. Mention planned procedures, pregnancy plans or supply problems. Before you leave, confirm what changes, which symptoms mean calling straight away, and when the next review is. --- ## Tracking GLP-1 symptoms so your doctor can use them URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/life/tracking-glp-1-symptoms Record each symptom when it happens, with six details: what it is in your own words, when it started (including the day of your dosing week), how bad it was, how often it has come back, how much it got in the way of your day and how long it lasted — plus anything that seemed to trigger it or help. The US National Cancer Institute's patient-reported symptom system uses a similar structure: frequency, severity and interference, over the past 7 days. --- ## How to export your GLP-1 logs before switching apps URL: https://cafeity.com/guides/life/export-glp-1-logs Before switching GLP-1 trackers, export everything from the old app — ideally CSV or JSON for the data and a PDF summary for your clinician — and export Apple Health as a backup if you use it. Open the files and check dates, units and completeness before deleting anything. If an app has no export, ask the company for your data: in the EU and UK, the GDPR gives you the right to receive it in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. --- ## Free printable GLP-1 tracker (PDF) URL: https://cafeity.com/templates/glp-1-tracker This is a free, one-page weekly GLP-1 tracker you can print or fill in on a tablet. Each day has room for the dose taken and the time, the injection site, weight, protein, water, fibre, nausea and other symptoms scored 0 to 5, and notes. At the bottom are two boxes: a summary of the week, and things to raise with your prescriber. It comes in US Letter and A4, with no sign-up. --- ## Injection site rotation chart (free PDF) URL: https://cafeity.com/templates/injection-site-rotation-chart GLP-1 injection labels say to inject under the skin of the abdomen, the thigh or the upper arm, and to rotate injection sites with each dose. This free chart divides those areas into eight numbered zones — four on the abdomen (keeping at least 5 cm, or 2 in, from the navel), one on each thigh and one on the back of each upper arm — with a 16-row log for the date, zone and any notes about the skin. PDF in US Letter and A4. --- ## Printable GLP-1 side-effect diary (free PDF) URL: https://cafeity.com/templates/side-effect-diary This free diary has room for twelve side-effect episodes, each with the date, time, days since your last dose, the symptom, a severity score from 0 to 5, what you ate or did beforehand and what helped. A box on the page lists the warning signs the medication guides say need prompt medical help, such as severe stomach pain that will not go away. It prints on US Letter or A4, with no sign-up. --- ## Printable protein food list for GLP-1 users (PDF) URL: https://cafeity.com/templates/protein-food-list This free list gives the grams of protein in typical portions of 28 common foods, from USDA FoodData Central: for example about 26 g in 85 g (3 oz) of roasted chicken breast, about 17.5 g in a 170 g pot of plain non-fat Greek yoghurt, 6.3 g in a large egg, and about 9 g in half a cup of boiled lentils. A 2025 joint advisory for people on GLP-1 medicines recommends adequate protein alongside strength training to help preserve lean mass. --- ## Printable 12-week weight log for GLP-1 users URL: https://cafeity.com/templates/weight-log This free log has twelve weekly rows, a box for each day, a weekly-average column and a column to mark dose changes. Weighing at the same time in the same conditions and comparing weekly averages gives a far truer picture than any single reading, because day-to-day weight moves with water, salt and food. It prints on US Letter or A4. --- ## Printable monthly GLP-1 journal (free PDF) URL: https://cafeity.com/templates/glp-1-journal This free monthly journal is a calendar page with a box for each day: date, a tick for the dose, weight, food noise and energy rated 0 to 5, and ticks for protein and water. Two boxes at the foot are for a summary of the month and for things to raise with your prescriber. It prints on US Letter or A4, landscape, with no sign-up. --- ## Orforglipron tracker for iPhone URL: https://cafeity.com/trackers/orforglipron-tracker Orforglipron is a once-daily GLP-1 receptor agonist tablet for weight management, approved in the US in 2026. Its label gives an elimination half-life of about 29 to 49 hours, a peak 4 to 8 hours after each tablet, and says it can be taken with or without food. Cafeity records each tablet, your meals, symptoms and weight on one timeline, and models the level across the day from the published half-life. It never suggests, calculates or adjusts a dose. --- ## Oral semaglutide tracker for iPhone URL: https://cafeity.com/trackers/oral-semaglutide-tracker Oral semaglutide is taken once a day. The label says to take it on an empty stomach in the morning with no more than about 120 ml (4 oz) of plain water, then wait at least 30 minutes before eating, drinking or taking other oral medicines. Semaglutide's half-life is about a week, so daily tablets build up over 4 to 5 weeks and then stay almost level. Cafeity records the tablet and the time, your meals, symptoms and weight, and never advises on the dose. --- ## GLP-1 food tracker: protein-first logging URL: https://cafeity.com/trackers/glp-1-food-tracker Cafeity logs food by photo, search, barcode or quick-add, and puts protein, fibre and water ahead of calories. Each meal sits on the same timeline as your doses and symptoms, so low-intake days can be read against the medication cycle. There are no red warnings on food, and energy targets never go below 1,200 kcal. A 2025 joint advisory for people on GLP-1 medicines makes adequate protein and nutrient-dense food its first priorities. --- ## Free GLP-1 tracker app for iPhone: what is free URL: https://cafeity.com/trackers/free-glp-1-tracker Cafeity is free to download, and logging stays free: medication and doses, weight, food, symptoms, water and protein, Apple Health sync, widgets and export, with 90 days of history. Cafeity Pro, an optional subscription with a free trial, adds unlimited history, unlimited AI food logging and Ora chat, the daily note, weekly and monthly reports, patterns, the Cycle View, unlimited Visit Summaries, custom targets and multiple medications. On the free plan you can create one Visit Summary a quarter. --- ## Privacy Policy — Cafeity URL: https://cafeity.com/privacy What Cafeity collects, why, who processes it, and your rights over it.
