For me, it’s everything in moderation.

I have seen many people say to avoid greasy and fried foods, as they can cause digestive problems. having said that, I have eaten french fries with no problem.

There are so many things I don’t want to eat on Tirz. Despite loving a good meat-lover pizza (see username), I have not had one in three months 😢. I foolishly had American-style Indian last week and had heartburn for several days, but it was risky for me before starting Tirz. But there are plenty of restaurants I can still eat at: carnita tacos 🌮, chicken shawarma, and so on.
In general I can make almost anything I want at home with a few modifications. Like swapping in those keto “carb balance” flour tortillas, especially as a chicken quesadilla. Those Costco sous-vide egg bites are now a staple, along with the Fairlife protein shakes. It’s definitely a journey figuring out what our new GLP-1/GIP-enhanced brain wants.
I am definitely happier eating lean meat and veg, those bagged salads, and so on. It really helps with the heartburn.

That just sounds like she is lactose intolerant.

I can eat anything, including greasy or fried food if the mood takes me (which it rarely does on Tirz). It's about the moderation and a smaller quantity for me.

It's going to be specific to the individual. I have no issues with dairy or anything else that wasn't already a problem before I started on tirz.
I find “quantity” has a greater impact than the type of food. Overeating will make you feel miserable. The greasier/fattier the food though, the less I will eat. I do indulge on a fairly regular basis, now that I’m closer to goal weight, but the indulgence is snack-sized rather than meal-sized.

Avoid big high fat meals.
I'm on reta, and I notice I have abdominal pain for 1-2 hours after eating big high fat meals.
The reasons for this are roughly:
I'm on reta, and I notice I have abdominal pain for 1-2 hours after eating big high fat meals.
The reasons for this are roughly:
- if you're losing weight fast, your bile tends to be thicker
- separately, GLP-1 drugs slow gall bladder emptying
- when you eat fat, the gall bladder is supposed to empty. If the bile is more viscous and emptying has been slowed, the works get gummed up and it hurts.
- don't lose weight insanely quickly, or your bile might get too concentrated. There are several other good reasons not to lose weight too fast.
- eat moderate fat, so the gallbladder has to empty sometimes. Long periods with very low fat are also lithogenic (stone-causing).
- stay well hydrated

Thank you for this important information!
she said she never had this problem before peptides
thank you everyone. I'm a little nervous about the process. I will need to force myself to eat more protein and drink more water for sure. I am always scared of the unknown bodily functions that may or not happen.

Meh .. every time you eat something you are taking a risk. You'll be fine with this too. Just start with small doses to see how your body reacts.
