Foods To Limit During Titration During the initial titration period, your body is getting used to the medication's effect on gastric emptying
Improved Insulin Response: Your pancreas produces insulin more efficiently, which keeps blood sugar in check and decreases the energy crashes that prompt bad food decisions
Together, slower digestion and a stronger fullness signal sharply reduce the drive to eat, and the weight comes off commonly around 15 percent of body weight with semaglutide and up to roughly 20 percent with tirzepatide in head-to-head clinical trials, though real-world results are often more modest
Schedule check-ins with your healthcare provider every three months to discuss medication dose adjustments, dietary challenges, or lifestyle barriers
Stay in close contact, titrate mindfully, and double-down on hydration and protein so side effects dont derail your progressor your day
