You’re assuming how it works in the US is how it works in China. I absolutely believe the same people who make EL raw are also making gray raw. I know for a fact that the people who make Louis Vitton purses sell some of them as “seconds” or knock offs. Knock offs, trademark and copyright...

That’s my understanding as well. That there are ~4 raw manufacturers.

Typo. Also second hand knowledge.

There is a group who have done some great detective work and concluded that there are 8+ sales people, all from different companies who seem to be the same person/company. Alisa is one of them. Tuk from ASC was another. Tuk has disappeared after some disastrous product. I ordered twice from Tuk...

I’m the original poster. I did increase my dose to 5 mg and did start consistently losing. I’m down 52 lbs now and have a much better handle on what Tirzepatide can do and how my body handles it. I can’t say I did anything earth shattering to break a stall, then or now. I just keep doing what...

You win the internet today.

This isn’t my first rodeo. I cross reference info from multiple sources/forums including several spreadsheets. I like to keep up with the latest but I don’t really need to. I have it all worked out. GLP-1 Forum is excellent—the people, the info. I don’t care to get in an argument.

Yep

Yes. I won’t name names, but there’s a wonderful spread sheet that a member created—all the vendors, opinions, etc. It used to be accessible to all but when so many people joined he closed access to only people who are a certain level. It’s not on the normal places here, it’s attached to his...

If the owner of the content put a lock on it except certain levels of privilege, you do.

Right? I got Peppy’s full access but I can’t get full access here. I’ll be a newbie forever here. I just want full access to documents 😭

I believe that if you can’t handle the waiting you need to buy brand name from your local pharmacy. There’s a cost to everything. The cost of gray is patience for at least a month and the possibility you will receive nothing. And then there’s the whole possibility of the d&ing thing from impure...

My ASC Tirz is working great. No difference from Zep, the best I can tell. Tuk is very easy to work with. Order arrived in about two weeks.

I just received a package that languished at customs for 3 weeks. Patience, my friend.

The moral of the story is: don’t get fancy. Buy your stuff, use your stuff and keep your mouth shut.

Yep. I always said if the famine hits I’ll be in my prime. The skinny people will die and I’ll be building huts and carrying water.

Thank you. That’s an amazing story, especially your mother too. My problems didn’t start at menopause and everyone has breast cancer in my family so I can’t go on hormone therapy. I’m finding that everyone has a different story, different problems. The fact that these meds help as many people as...

It’s unbelievable, actually. I could literally eat nothing and would be fine. I feel no hunger. Everyone needs fuel and nutrients. For me, even at 2.5 mg I didn’t care about food for the first time in my life. Very strange. I wish that was the secret to losing weight for me.

Thanks for sharing. That’s wild to me that you haven’t experienced the appetite/food noise suppression. We are all so different. I’m glad you’ve been able to get back on. Good luck!

This. This is the kind of info I need. What you say is Greek right now but it gives me something to research. Thank you!

Thank you! Good info here. I’m actually 8 weeks in and on 5 mg. 4 weeks at 2.5 mg and 4 weeks at 5 mg. So I’m at the point of deciding whether to go up or not. I am going to experiment with water. Increasing protein more is going to take some research, especially without increasing calories. But...

Wait! Don’t leave me hanging! What hormones did you go on? I need more info.

What dose are you at? In 18 months how has your dosage journey progressed? I appreciate this. I’m not at it for a quick fix, as evidenced by my My Fitness Pal account and tracking for most of 11 years. I am trying to understand Tirzepatide, how it works and whether to titrate up or not, based...

I weigh everything that I can’t scan. And track every morsel that goes in my mouth. 🙋🏼‍♀️I beg to differ. This over 200 lb granny can’t lose weight at 900 calories.

Wow! I really appreciate all this! I do eat 100 grams of protein a day. I do log my food and weigh it (I have 11 years of logging on My Fitness Pal, even Christmas Day when I eat 4500 calories—I’m an expert). I’m strict on macros, especially protein, carbs and fiber. I’ve done Atkins for 7...

This is definitely something I can improve on. I will do an experiment. Thanks for the advice.

So eating 900 calories a day isn’t low enough to be a calorie deficit? You think I should eat less? Or, of course exercise more.

When you say you had the best results… do you mean you lost the most weight at lower doses?

On Reddit if you ask about results on different doses nearly everyone reports whether a certain dose is suppressing their appetite or not. They seem to titrate up only if their food noise and appetites are back. My goal is weight loss. By the appetite measure I could stay at 2.5 mg for probably...

I do all the things. Lots of water, Metamucil, stool softener… but what helps the most, 4 prunes every day. An hour after eating my prunes… Works every time.

I’ve been on Tirzepitide 6 weeks. I’m taking 5 mg, weekly and this is the 2nd dose on 5 mg. I have nothing after 7 pm and typically go to bed at 1 am. I’ve even learned to take my meds at 7 pm so I literally have nothing but water between 7 pm and bedtime. So I’m trying for no food 6 hours...

I’m suffering acid reflux pretty badly, even 12 hours after eating. I’m taking digestive enzymes and they seem to help, but it’s still bad. I have a lifelong history of acid reflux (GERD?) and have been on Omeprazole for years. I just read that Tirzepitide decreases stomach acid, just like...

Newbie question. What’s a busted puck? And would you still use it?

Is there a primer to figure this stuff out? Been lurking but still confused.
