I Tried the New Foundayo Pill for 7 Days—Here’s What Happened
Our summary
In this video, a creator who describes herself as a calorie, protein and fiber counter reports on her first week taking the Foundayo pill. She says she started on July 11th and is recording on July 17th. She switched from an injection and says she was on a 15 milligram dose of tirzepatide before this. She says she took her first pill in the early afternoon on an empty stomach, then felt tired enough on day one to nap twice in her recliner. She says she expected the worst from a new medication and did not fight the fatigue.

What else the video covers
She then walks through a typical day of eating. According to the video, she takes the pill around nine in the morning with a protein coffee made from an 11 oz can of Nurri and 4 to 6 ounces of black coffee. Breakfast is an egg scramble with egg whites, bacon bits, Colby Jack cheese and some vegetables, which she puts at under about 400 calories and roughly 25 grams of protein. Lunch is a vanilla Greek yogurt and cottage cheese bowl with basil or chia seeds, honey and coconut flakes. Dinner is whatever she feels like cooking, with salmon, shrimp, chicken, pork chops and beef shank as her usual proteins. She lists the supplements she takes, including magnesium, zinc, calcium, vitamin C and a B-complex.
She says her targets have not changed since she was on tirzepatide: 1250 to 1400 calories, 125 to 140 grams of protein, no more than 99 grams of carbs, and 25 to 30 grams of fiber. After one week she says hunger is still present and she has to put in work until she can move up to a dose that helps more. She does not regret starting, but wishes she could have gone from 15 milligrams straight to a 5 milligram dose, which she says her doctor was not ready to do because research on that is not done. She plans to ask about moving up from 0.8 to a 5 at the end of her 30 days.

- Tirzepatide dosage chart: the 2.5 to 15 mg ladder, week by week, and what each step costs
Tirzepatide starts at 2.5 mg weekly for 4 weeks, then climbs in 2.5 mg steps of at least 4 weeks to 15 mg max. The chart, the units and the cost per step.
- Tirzepatide vs semaglutide: the head-to-head result, and what the better one costs
They were finally tested against each other. In SURMOUNT-5, 751 adults with obesity took the maximum tolerated dose of one or the other for 72 weeks: tirzepatide lost 20.2% of body weight, semaglutide 13.7%. That gap is real and it is the whole argument for tirzepatide. The other half of the decision is the bill: compounded tirzepatide runs from $85 a month on our board against $69 for semaglutide, and the branded gap is wider still.
- The best GLP-1 for weight loss, ranked by the evidence and then by the bill
By weight lost, the order is settled: tirzepatide (Zepbound) first at 20.2% in the only head-to-head, then semaglutide 7.2 mg (Wegovy HD) at 18.7%, then semaglutide 2.4 mg (Wegovy) at 13.7% to 15.6%, then the pills. By what you pay, the order nearly inverts: compounded semaglutide from $69 a month, the Wegovy tablet from $149, Wegovy pen $349, Zepbound $299 to $699 by dose. The best one is where those two lists meet for your budget and your plan.
