I have been in a caloric deficit since mid February. Started at 215lb and finally hit 180lb. 180 was the starting weight of my last bulk.

I'm old, close to 60 and I hate it. Before Covid, I was doing endurance sports, mostly running and biking. I was also lifting.

When Covid hit I was in the Northeast, it was too cold to keep running and the gyms were closed, so no treadmill. It's really easy to fall out of good habits when you're locked out of the gym in a frozen tundra. A while ago, I didn't get... Read more ..read more

Tirzepatide peptide and Semaglutide (Ozempic) are both in the class of drugs known as incretin mimetics but have some differences. Tirzepatide powder acts on both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, while Semaglutide acts only on GLP-1 receptors; however, both drugs are effective treatments for type 2 diabetes. In direct comparison, Tirzepatide appears to have a broader range of activity due to its dual-action mechanism involving both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. Clinical trials have indicated that...
