Tracking framework

GLP-1 Appetite Tracker

Appetite changes are easier to understand when they are tracked beside treatment timing, meals, stress, sleep, and weight trend context.

Best for

GLP-1 users watching whether appetite suppression is holding steady across the full dose interval.

Primary signal

Appetite strength and timing across the week.

Velto fit

Appetite ratings are plotted across the dose interval rather than the calendar week.

What to track

SignalWhy it helps
Main patternAppetite strength at a fixed point each day, on a consistent scale.
Context 1How many days since the last dose, so the fade curve becomes visible.
Context 2Whether hunger returned before the next dose was due, and how early.
Context 3How the day's eating actually went, separately from how hungry you felt.

Weekly tracking framework

  1. Step 1Rate appetite at the same time each day; ratings taken at random hours are not comparable.
  2. Step 2Map the ratings across the dose interval to see where suppression fades.
  3. Step 3Compare the same interval position week to week rather than adjacent days.
  4. Step 4Note the weeks where appetite and actual intake diverged, which is usually the interesting case.

Questions for your clinician

  • Is appetite returning this early in the interval expected at my dose?
  • Does the shape of this fade suggest anything about timing or dose?
  • Should I be eating to appetite, or to a plan, at this stage?

How Velto helps

  • Appetite ratings are plotted across the dose interval rather than the calendar week.
  • Intake and appetite are recorded separately, so the gap between them stays visible.
  • Consistent scales make week-to-week comparison meaningful instead of impressionistic.

FAQ

Why does my appetite come back before the next dose?

Appetite suppression is not flat across the dose interval for everyone, and where it fades is individual. Rating appetite at a fixed time each day and plotting it against days-since-dose is what turns a vague sense that it is wearing off into something specific enough to discuss.

Should I track appetite or how much I actually ate?

Both, and separately. They often diverge, and the weeks where they diverge are usually the informative ones. Feeling hungry but eating to plan is a different situation from feeling suppressed but grazing anyway.

Does Velto interpret appetite changes for me?

No. Velto records ratings consistently and shows them across the dose interval. What the shape means for your plan is a conversation for a qualified healthcare professional.
