Adam Schafer took GLP. Interesting. He said the main thing was that he cut out the noise.
It helped build good habits.
“I am not constantly thinking about food” this stuff helps with that.
- You cannot be on it forever
- It is not a replacement for muscle building
- Goal is to get off of it
- You need to build strength. That is the most important thing.

I've been on tirzepatide (Mounjaro) for 4 months now. I'm down 13% of my body weight. I realized that frequent cannabis consumption interferes with the weight loss, so I've kicked the habit from daily to occasionally on weekends. I've started walking 2-3 miles a day, 2-3 days a week regularly, in addition to eating less and being more motivated to calorie count.

Tirzepatide and Semaglutide are both known to reduce addiction / substance ingestion. I noticed I was just less interested in Alcohol when I started on Wegovy, and didn't realize it's a common effect until much later. I retained most of my disinterest after going off, too, FWIW.

I'm with you on this, tirzepatide has been life changing for me. I've struggled with my weight my whole life and I can actually imagine a future where I lose enough that I'm no longer ashamed of my weight.
I've been on tirzepatide for just over a year now. Before that, I managed to lose 6% of my body weight over the previous year. With tirzepatide, I've lost an additional 17% of my body weight, for a total of 23% over two years.
Tirzepatide isn't a magic drug that just makes you lose weight, it simply makes it much easier to avoid overeating.
It makes the difference between being so hungry that I can't fall asleep and having the ability to just go to sleep.
