I’m on my third week of Mounjaro 2.5 for T2D, and have no severe side effects! No nausea, an occasional feeling of heartburn, but not if I don’t eat anything past 6:30pm and not heavy meals. I will be consulting my MD regarding a change of dosage. I’ve lost 20 lbs so far, with my diet changing noticeably! I’m 75 by the way. I also have fatty liver, apnea and some decrease in my liver function for around ten years. From researching mounjaro , this seems to be a triple whammy for me in the best way. I’ll be checking in often for other info and resulting studies.
Excellent information! Thankyou.very well explained.
Tip: Fasting
If you can fast, you will save a lot of money. I normally can do 16/8 without trouble. On this peptide I fasted for 48 hrs straight without trouble. I lost 10% in a month. Not ideal for some but worked well for me.
Are you a diabetic?
6 weeks on TZ went from 286 to 262, who hooo!
I am exactly the same
would you still recommend after 8months
I know I’m not a great candidate for tirzepatide, but I have an injury that keeps me from doing legwork and cardio. I have about 5% body fat to shed and my only tools were diet and upper body & core. I’m going to minimal dose tirzepatide for 8 weeks (if all goes normally) and hopefully I don’t lose too much muscle. I already work out 5-6 days a week and eat about 180 g of protein a day with an immaculately clean diet. I was still losing fat slowly, but I’m just curious how much a GLP-1 and GIP agonist would push me further in that direction. I was already in a 500 kcal deficit, I think I’m going to be shredded in 2 months
Do you have any thoughts on taking anti-anxiety medicine (SSRI) while on Tirzepatide? I have noticed that anxiety that was previously controlled with an SSRI has come back while on this.
I am CKD 4, is this safe for me to take for weight loss? I am not a diabetic.
Good job calling it a tool. All these other health care professionals saying to stay on it for ever.
What would be the difference of being on mounjaro the rest of life and being on insulin rest of life? Just wondering why it seems ok to be on insulin forever but not this. Of course neither is best but truly just wondering why the different standard?
It’s really up to your doctor. Some doctors say it’s fine to have life time.
Insulin adds weight
I agree with you. Except there really needs to be a lifestyle change and change your mind set about eating healthy.
I completely disagree to the nausea comment. I am nauseous every week on day 2 and 3 toward throwing up, however, I have lost 65 lbs in 6 months so it’s definitely working.
Worth it! Don’t act like your not nauseas any ways
Lol, I take a ghrellin mimic everyday, hunger hormone. I still watch calories and stay under what I need but I get the health benefits of boosted growth hormone etc. Yep, I take the opposite of what you take and have still lost 87lbs while preserving muscle and having regular (normal) daily poops. It's all willpower and eating high protein. Hunger hormone also boosts energy so I've been more productive during the day with better sleep at night and my hair, nails, skin heal faster. Only draw back? I feel hungry sometimes during the day but not annoyingly so. These GLP1 agonists are bad and cause muscle loss! You need to be able to say, "no cereal or donuts for breakfast" on your own.
@sumi123 I wish there were more studies but a large 2 year trial from WV and many more have proven its safety. Fantastic compliment to a calorie deficit diet if you can ignore feelings of hunger. People need to pay more attention to muscle loss when losing weight. There's a reason barbaric surgery patients are told to eat more protein and eat it first at meals. People are jumping on GLP-1s and not adjusting their diet appropriately. I like the clinics requiring patients to prove they can eat right before getting the script because of the long-term consequences for health if you lose muscle.
Lower your dosage, increase injections
I'm T2D and will be on Mounjaro for the rest of my life. I had zero side-effects at the 2.5 mg (except loss of appetite 😉❤️🔥) and after my 3rd week of the 5 mg Mounjaro suddenly I started feeling nausea on day 2 & 3 after each injection. I totally disagree with the claim "if you're eating healthy you won't feel nausea..." THAT is such a gaslighting statement. 🤯🤯🤯 Leave it to a skinny female to say something so banal. The body's reaction to the medication has nothing to do with eating or not eating or what you ate.
Is the 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15 mg dosing per month or per week?? You say " the 1st 4 wks is 2.5 mgs, then month 2 is 5 mg, etc" so its kind of confusing. Usually a whole 3 ml vial of compounded Tirzepitide is only 10 mg... no way to fit that in an insulin pin
I will be on these medications forever. It is no different than my heart medication or someone's BP medication. I believe (and so does my Endo) these medications are a treatment for having obesity. It baffles me how doctors/people could think "lifestyle changes" will work when the medications are removed when lifestyle changes do not work for a person having obesity. Never have. Never will. I hope the doctor here has learned more over time.
Healthy changes don't work for obese people because they are insulin resistant. Break that via peptide use, and continue the healthy lifestyle, and you absolutely can maintain with perhaps occasional cycles of peptides once you come off the initial cycle.
@@Joseph_Christopher I don't just have insulin resistance. I have diabetes. It just happens to be in remission with the medication and working my butt off. Thinking you can diagnose someone as low in peptides is just odd to me. Every person, every _body_ is different and without blood work (which is the diagnosing tool for insulin resistance), you can't possibly know what someone needs more than they do or their care provider. Believe me, if there was a magic cure for extremely severe clinical obesity (I started at 405 lbs and now weigh 173 and still going down), I would have found it through 50 years of dieting and trying this and that and this again. Peptides? My collagen is awesome. Do I think any supps are going to fix my GLP-1 deficiency? No. I do appreciate your thoughts (and not being snarky at all... I really mean it), but I think I will just keep going with my plan to stay on GLP-1s forever.
@@HealthAtAnyCost If you have Type 1 I totally understand. Type 2 is literally insulin resistance.
@@Joseph_Christopher This is a fun convo. (not snarky) I think saying Type 2 Diabetes, which I have, is insulin resistance is an oversimplification of Diabetes. As diabetes is not treated, there is a domino effect of damage occuring in different parts of the body that allllll have to do with insulin production and insulin regulation. As an example, my kidneys are damaged... CKD 3a... but they have stabilized on the Trulicity (taken for a year) and now Mounjaro (taken for 9 months so far). My liver, an integral part of the chain of insulin production, was covered and embedded with fat, but now with the GLP-1s, the fatty liver is almost back to normal. Research has shown that liver "healing" happens with the GLP-1s even without weight loss. There is no food noise on GLP-1s for the majority of people. Even when I was in diabetic remission after my weight loss surgery 23 years ago, the food noise was incessant. Food noise is merciless and my brain needs the GLP-1s so it will stfu so I am not compelled to eat voraciously. That is just a start. Again, not knowing the whole history of a person, not knowing what their labs are, not having a degree in biology or biochemistry or not reading and understanding the medical journals (as I do... I am a retired midwife), or not recognizing the pinball effects of an illness... you might want to be cautious about simplistic advice.
I'm taking mounjaro and mk677 is this a problem
That's a weird mix lol
Dont do that bro you will pass away
It sounds like nausea comes a lot from eating the wrong foods fatty greasy foods. This is something that should not be eaten for a lifestyle. Bad seed oils.
