Month 2
Danny is two months into the program.
He has lost 42lbs and now weighs 399lbs. This is down from 441lbs.
After the first four weeks, he increased his dose to 5.00mg and has stayed at that level ever since.
His meals focus on healthy proteins like chicken and fish. He eats a lot of vegetables as a source for carbohydrates.
He has cut down his pop and drinks it on rare occasions.
For exercise he does walking, yardwork and chores. He does not have a dedicated exercise routine yet.
He reports that the Tirzepatide curbs his appetite and helps him feel full with much less food.
When he first started, Danny had stomach aches for about three days after each injection. But his body adjusted quickly and he no longer has any problems.
Danny has had impressive results with minimal adjustments.
Great job Danny!

He just recently introduced strength and resistance training. Before that he was just walking and doing light activity.
He isn't doing any extreme diets. He's focusing on protein focused meals, balanced meals and portion control.
He still has no side effects and is doing well.
Tirzepatide makes it easier to lose weight. Many of our patients say that it is the easiest they've ever lost weight. They don't have to deal with cravings and constant hunger.
