Trimsy isn’t a wellness brand. It’s the set of notes I wish someone had handed me on week one, rewritten into a method so the next person wouldn’t have to learn it by accident.
I started on Mounjaro in early 2025. I was 42. I’d tried calorie tracking in 2018, a version of keto in 2020, and a running habit that turned into a knee problem in 2022. Nothing stuck — or what stuck didn’t move the scale in any way that mattered. I wasn’t unhealthy, exactly. I was comfortably drifting in the wrong direction.
The GP conversation took six minutes. The decision took four months. The Reddit threads took longer than that.
By the time I started, I thought I knew what I was doing. I didn’t. The first three weeks were a blur of nausea, naps, and a worrying quiet where my appetite used to be. I lost weight — fast, at first — but I also lost strength, and that was the part nobody had warned me about.
The middle changed everything.
Month three was when it clicked. I’d started lifting — badly, at home, with a twenty-quid resistance band. I’d stopped chasing the scale and started chasing protein grams. And I’d accepted a boring truth: the medication wasn’t doing the work, it was just creating the conditions where the work was possible.
I started writing it all down. Partly as a journal, partly because every forum I read was either selling something, catastrophising, or missing the practical layer — the “what did you actually cook on a Tuesday” layer. I kept coming back to three principles that everything I was learning seemed to reduce to.
Those three principles are the method now. Protein-first, diet-flexible, phase-aware. There’s nothing magical about them. They’re just the honest intersection of what the evidence says, what worked for me, and what I think works for most people in my shoes.
Why a site, not another substack.
Because a blog organised by date is the wrong shape for a method. Week 1 advice shouldn’t sit next to month 14 advice. A nausea-friendly meal and a 52g-protein dinner are not the same tool. The site sorts all of that by phase, so the person on week two isn’t reading the wrong chapter and panicking.
Everything on Trimsy is free to read. The Starter Packand the Premium programme exist because I spent six months making the weekly plans, the shopping lists, and the coming-off playbook — and packaging that work as £9.99 or £7.99/month felt more honest than hiding it behind ads I don’t want to sell to anyone. If you’re broke and motivated, use the free site. It’s enough.
What Trimsy won’t do.
Trimsy is not a clinic. I am not a doctor, a dietitian, or a personal trainer. I don’t prescribe medication, I don’t dose-advise, and I won’t tell you whether you “qualify” for a GLP-1 — your GP does that, and should. Everything here is a method, not medical advice.
I also won’t pretend the medication is magic, or pretend it’s evil. Both of those positions are everywhere on the internet already. They’re both wrong, in opposite directions, and they’re both boring.
What I will do is show you the path I walked, the mistakes I made early, and the three levers I keep coming back to. That’s the whole pitch.
Thanks for being here.
