Tirzepatide for Fat Loss

[BigTexTRT]

Hey guys,

After doing some reading, I’ve decided to try tirzepatide for weight loss. From what I understand, it’s injected subcutaneously once a week, typically for a 4-week period.
Here’s where I could really use some guidance: I’ve seen doses ranging from 2mg all the way up to 15mg per week. What’s a good starting dose?
Also, I’ve heard that after the initial 4-week cycle, you can continue at a maintenance dose. Is that true, and if so, what would that look like for long-term use? Any feedback or personal experience with this would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance!

Hey, I’ve been using tirzepatide for a while. Start with a low dose, like 2.5mg or 5mg per week, and increase gradually based on how you feel. Some people go up to 10mg or even 15mg, but starting low helps avoid side effects like nausea.You can definitely run it longer than 4 weeks if it’s working for you. After that, a maintenance dose of around 5-7.5mg is common. Just remember, diet and training still matter a lot for your results.
Good luck!

As I know it's much smoother than the ozempic.

I started tirzepatide a couple months ago. My doc recommended starting low at 2.5mg/week and then slowly increasing after 4 weeks. Definitely don’t rush it—side effects like nausea can hit hard early on.

From what I’ve read, the typical starting dose is around 2.5 to 5mg weekly. Maintenance doses seem to be in the 5 to 10mg range depending on your goals and tolerance. Always best to consult a healthcare professional though.

Thanks a lot for the detailed input — super helpful! I was leaning toward starting at 5mg, but I might dial it back to 2.5mg for the first couple of weeks just to play it safe. Good to know about the maintenance range too. And yeah, totally agree — no shortcut beats solid diet and training. Appreciate it!

Yeah, that’s what I’ve heard too! Seems like a lot of people tolerate tirzepatide better in terms of GI side effects.

Absolutely — I’m keeping my expectations realistic. Just hoping it gives me a bit of an edge while I stay consistent with training and nutrition. Thanks for the reminder!

That’s reassuring to hear — seems like a slow and steady approach is the way to go. I’ll definitely be cautious with dosing and ramp up only if I feel good. Appreciate you sharing your experience!

Yeah, that lines up with what I’ve been seeing too. I’ll probably stick within that range and adjust based on how my body reacts. And agreed — getting a pro involved is always smart. Thanks for chiming in!
