So, Tp4 be watching the documentary, and it' like, the guy straight up says,
"It takes away the joy of eating, nothing tastes the same."
You read that and it's like, ok something is horribly wrong, if "THAT" is the cure people are paying for.

So how it works is, it's a chemical that goes in the brain, and down-regulates the pathway which regulates hunger/ desire to eat/ satiation. It's the #1 selling diet craze/fad for a few years now. People even shell out for bootleg from compound pharmacies, and based on talking to some people (in Tp4's bad people circles), Tp4 suspects they're using illegally imported Indian precursors.
I've been on terzepatide for 4 months. I'm now down to the weight I was as a young adult entering college. I slowly increased my dosage each month and then decreased when my appetite dropped too low. It doesn't take the joy out of eating for me at all. I just don't think about food as much. The body's "crave" mechanism is curbed. I actually have to remind myself to eat if I'm busy doing other things. I've always eaten fairly healthy, so I don't really eat anything different on the shots but I do eat less. And because of that, it promotes better eating. Do I want to eat a cookie that tastes delicious and find myself "full," knowing that I just ate empty calories, or do I want to eat health complex carbs and protein? Easy choice!
I find myself much more satisfied and feeling better throughout the day. It's so nice to never feel overly full. It's like getting rid of a beast inside you that was always in charge. Always telling you to eat, then causing issues if you eat too much or too little. That's all gone. I don't even have to worry about blood sugar issues if I delay eating. That's huge for me. I'm not diabetic, or even pre-diabetic, but I was very sensitive to low blood sugar levels for the past two decades. I always knew that I couldn't delay eating more than an hour or two without feeling terrible. But that's gone.
I consider it pretty magical. Side effects for the first week: I felt very cold. Almost like when are getting sick. That lasted one week. Then, on days of injection (once per week) I would get indigestion. After 5-6 weeks that once a week indigestion is gone.
I consider it the most effective medicine I've ever taken in my life. I'm fortunate because I get it for $25 a month through my insurance. I have to enroll in a program where I meet with a "coach" every 2 weeks, but the meetings are easy and short zoom calls.
