I don’t know. You’re posting history indicates you could say something that stupid and be serious about it

Question for you, Jack, and anyone else who's used Tirz. I started my regimen this past Sunday at the acclimation dose of 2.5mg and am eating Carnivore during the cycle. I have had none of the side effects (nausea, etc.). Is it too soon to bump up to 5 mg or stay the course the first few weeks?

Don, why do you want to jump to 5mg at all? how is your appetite on 2.5? I

the best dose is the lowest one that curbs your appetite. i've been on 2.5 since October and don't plan on changing. if you're seeing results at 2.5, don't rush to take more just to do it...

The starting dose is the 2.5. I would stay there for 4 weeks and then jump to 5mg.

yep, that's been my plan all along from what I've read here and elsewhere but I expected some mild sides but so far nada (granted only 4 days in).

Then again my next dose is Sunday right before I go out of town on business so would be a really bad time for sides to kick in.

What's the indicator to increase dosage, appetite resumption?

I'll stay the course.

Thanks Jose!

All the GLP1s come to a plateau. You eat less at start, but eventually you will hit the balance where your caloric intake and body needs are identical. Until that point you were in a calorie deficit and thus losing weight.

Changing drugs is not going to help, you either need to eat even less calories or burn more calories (exercise). You can squeeze out a few more pounds if you have not converted to eating healthier though.

I would lift some heavy weights and put on muscle mass, I hate cardio

My doc started me on 2.5 for a month then went to 5. I'm on first week of 2nd box of 5. Like others have said, think the 2.5 is to get you acclimated. I didn't really feel any of teh side effects other than some very mild heart burn which didn't last. Even on 5 I haven't really felt any side effects. I'm not crazy hungry, but do feel pangs every once in a while, esp in the morning. I intermittent fast and a half arse keto diet. I've lost almost 20 so far, but it's been frustrating. As big as I am, figured I'd have lost lots more the first two months as I'm not eating much at all. Would like to go up to 7.5 or even 10 but insurance won't cover it and I can't afford the stupid non-insurance prices. If anyone has legit options for Tirz for cheaper, I'm all ears.

Are you working out as well or just diet? note: 20lbs in 2 months is pretty good. This isn't supposed to be instant. I'm 4 months and 2 days in, down 43.6 overall.

Since I've started Tirz, haven't been working out much other than some light upperbody exercises while watching tv and have started walking again 3-4 times a week. I used to bootcamp 5-6 times a week for several years, so I know I would probably do better if I get back in to that level, but again, just as heavy as I am, figured with the drastic cut in food intake I'd lose more initially.

i hate to say it but it sounds like you're the type of person mingo is complaining about. this can't just be a shot thing. gotta have a whole plan and stick to it. and if it's not working if you're doing everything right, then up the dose.

Well I won't shite talk him as I don't know him. He makes some valid points, but he also sounds like some of my thin friends who just say, do this do that and you'll be thin. They've never been fat or had to live it. All my friends grew up eating the same shite, we all did the same activities daily whether sports, riding bikes all over creation, just playing outside, but I got fat, they didn't. How do you explain that? Anyway, I don't think it's as cut and dry for everyone. Yes, basic things like caloric intake, exercise/movement make a difference in everyone, but not every person reacts the same, and I can tell ya I'm proof. I can eat a pack of crackers and gain 5 lbs, a friend can eat two pizzas and not. When I have lost weight, it's from eating hardly anything, which is why I finally gave in to try tirz. If it helps keep eating out of my mind, forces me to change eating habits(better than I have lately), then I will. And yeah, it's an expensive lesson to have to deal with, but such is life isn't it?
