Greek yogurt scrambled eggs — surprisingly good

The hair loss started around week 9 for me and I panicked. After research and talking to my doctor, it's telogen effluvium — a delayed shed caused by the physiological stress of rapid weight loss, not the medication itself. It slows down around month 4-5. Biotin and collagen peptides haven't hurt. Just wanted to share this so the next person isn't as scared as I was.

Adding my two cents: What helped you push through the plateau. Bumped up to the next dose this week and feeling good. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Late to this but Don't weigh daily, the trend line is what matters. Been there, it does get easier I promise. Keep us posted!

Nutrition plan that's working for me on tirzepatide 7.5mg: Morning: Greek yogurt (20g protein), berries, black coffee. I have no appetite until 11am so I don't force breakfast. Lunch: This is my biggest meal because my appetite is best midday. Usually a big salad with grilled chicken or a high-protein wrap. Aim for 35-40g protein. Dinner: Small. Soup, eggs, or cottage cheese. My appetite is nonexistent by 7pm and forcing food makes me nauseous. This is a feature, not a bug. Total: about 1,400-1,600 calories, 130g+ protein. I prioritize protein above all else to protect muscle mass while losing. This isn't a diet — it's just what my body wants now.

Coming back to this thread — How long did the food noise take to quiet down. Everyone titrates differently, listen to your own body. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Adding my two cents: Blood pressure is finally in normal range. This community is the best.

Honestly, Electrolytes every morning has been a game changer. Protein first at every meal has been my golden rule. Cheering you on from here.

Same here — Did your appetite come back at all on the higher dose. Sending solidarity, this part is genuinely hard. Thanks for sharing this.

Same here, Walking 8k steps a day alongside the meds really compounds. Hang in there. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Reading this and Batch-cooking high-protein meals saved my willpower. Rooting for you. Everyone's different of course.

@ScaleWatcher same thing happened to me. The stall broke after I added more protein.

Same here, That stall messed with my head too, you'll break through. Protein first at every meal has been my golden rule. Keep us posted!

So proud of you. Just hit my first 20 lbs and I can't believe it. Don't give up — it's worth it.

Same here — Batch-cooking high-protein meals saved my willpower. Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose. You're not alone in this, so many of us have been there. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Totally agree. Titrating slowly is so underrated, no rush to climb. The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Late to this but Don't give up — it's worth it.

Following along, How's your energy been lately. How are you finding the higher dose so far. Everyone's different of course.

Same here, This past year has been the biggest change of my life. Electrolytes every morning has been a game changer. So glad I'm not alone in this.
