Tirzepatide is FDAapproved for specific indications, including type 2 diabetes and, at certain doses and brand names, chronic weight management in adults with defined BMI criteria plus at least one weight-related condition, when combined with lifestyle change
It has several far-reaching consequences like increased incidence of heart diseases, diabetes, depression, reduced quality of life and even death
They're marketed as being cheaper, easier to use, and available to anyone, unlike prescription weight loss injections, which require a consultation and have specific eligibility criteria
Its also a more sustainable approach, as extreme diets can lead to fatigue and nutrient deficiencies, which often result in failure over time
Those first 8 weeks are when rapid weight loss begins
