Medications work differently in a range of people for various reasons. However, on average tirzepatide has proven to demonstrate upwards of 25% weightloss when combined with lifestyle modification, diet (eg. 500 calories per day) and exercise (150 minutes per week). Clinical studies have shown 50% increase in bodyweight reduction when comparing Tirzepatide vs. Semaglutide in a 52-week period.

Tirzepatide is dose dependent and influenced by duration of use. Uptiration of medication will most likely be required for further weightloss over an extended period of time.

Tirzepatide is dose-dependent upon the duration of use; meaning the longer you use it, the higher your dose will be with a max dose of 15 mg per week (patients typically remain at <10mg per week). Therefore, the price will increase as your dose is adjusted and increased by a licensed medical professional.

If you miss 14 consecutive days, without an injection, you will need to restart at the starting dose.

Tirzepatide may be the better option when:

• You have insulin resistance, prediabetes, or metabolic challenges

• You have a higher amount of weight to lose

• You’ve plateaued on another GLP-1

• You struggle with strong cravings or persistent hunger cues

• You want more robust metabolic support

At TTW, the decision is always personalized — based on your body, your goals, and your readiness for close NP-led monitoring.

Medication is not recommended in any patients with a personal history or family history of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2); condition that causes tumors in more than one gland in the body).

Administer by SUBQ injection into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm at any time of day on the same day each week, with or without food. If changing the day of administration is necessary, allow ≥48 hours between 2 doses. Rotate injection sites weekly if injecting in the same area of the body. Do not mix with other products (administer as separate injections). Avoid adjacent injections if administering other agents in the same area of the body. Solution should be clear; do not use if particulate matter and coloration are seen. Tirzepetide weekly peptide diet injection should be refrigerated.

Most common side effects include gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, constipation, vomiting. This is the primary reason that these medications are up-titrated (increased over periods of time). It helps introduce them to the body and reduce side effects that could disrupt the medication therapy and impede weightloss.

To maximize the benefits of Tirzepatide for weight loss and blood sugar control, it's important to avoid certain foods that can hinder your progress. Here are key foods to limit or avoid:

1. Sugary Foods and Drinks

• Minimize or avoid soda, candy, cakes, and sugary cereals. These high-sugar items can spike blood sugar levels, making it harder for Tirzepatide to regulate insulin and appetite effectively.

2. Processed and Packaged Foods

• Chips, frozen meals, and processed snacks are loaded with unhealthy fats and preservatives. These foods offer little nutritional value and can slow down your weight loss efforts.

3. Refined Carbohydrates

• Avoid white bread, white rice, and pastries made with refined flour. These foods cause rapid blood sugar increases and contribute to cravings, reducing the effectiveness of Tirzepatide.

4. Fried Foods

• Stay away from fried chicken, french fries, and other deep-fried items. High in unhealthy fats and calories, fried foods can negatively impact weight loss and digestion.

5. High-Fat Processed Meats

• Limit processed meats like bacon, sausage, and hot dogs, which are high in saturated fats and sodium. These can slow metabolism and may increase the risk of cardiovascular issues.

6. Alcohol

• Alcoholic beverages, especially in excess, can interfere with blood sugar control and add unnecessary calories. Limiting or avoiding alcohol helps Tirzepatide work more efficiently.

Avoiding these foods while taking Tirzepatide can enhance your weight loss journey, help manage blood sugar, and improve overall health outcomes.

Focus on meals that support digestion, blood sugar stability, and steady energy.

Choose: lean proteins, slow carbs, fiber-rich vegetables, and healthy fats in small portions.

Approach gently: heavy, greasy, high-fat meals, carbonated drinks, or very sugary snacks.

Light, balanced meals usually feel best — and TTW helps you build patterns that are sustainable, not restrictive.

Tirzepatide is a dual-action injection that mimics GLP-1 and GIP hormones to regulate appetite, enhance satiety, and optimize blood sugar control. This unique combination makes it a groundbreaking option for weight loss and metabolic improvement.

The medication slows digestion and stabilizes blood sugar, reducing cravings and providing steady energy levels throughout the day. It helps you feel more in control of your eating habits and energy.

Tirzepatide activates two receptors (GLP-1 + GIP), often offering stronger appetite suppression and metabolic benefits. Semaglutide activates only GLP-1, and is highly effective, steady, and typically more gradual.

At TTW, we guide you toward the medication that best fits your metabolism, goals, lifestyle, and tolerance — not just what’s popular.
