I started Tirzepatide! Weight loss medication, Week 1, How much I lost, symptoms & more!
Our summary
Tiffany, who runs The Fasho Life channel, describes her first week on tirzepatide, which she says she has taken for less than two weeks. She explains that she has struggled with weight loss for about six years, lost around 50 lbs on keto in 2018, regained it, and has lost 40 lb since giving birth plus another 6 lb before starting the medication. She says the drug was offered to her through a company outreach, and she describes it as a GLP-1 medication that suppresses appetite, slows gastric emptying and lowers A1C.

What else the video covers
For week one she says she started at 2.5 mg, which she believes is 25 units. She reports slightly reduced appetite overall, with the biggest change being far less late-night snacking and fewer cravings after dinner. On side effects, she says she had some nausea but did not need the Zofran she was prescribed. After eating fried homemade egg rolls on day three, she had diarrhea the next day, and she concludes greasy food does not agree with the medication. She also had mild constipation on days five and six without using a laxative. She is not eating low carb, but is eating smaller portions of family meals.
A middle section is sponsored by Hume Health and promotes its Body Pod body analyzer, including a discount code. For results, she says she went from 291 lbs to 284.5 lbs, a loss of 6.6 lbs in the first week, which she notes took her roughly a month and a half to two months to lose before. She becomes emotional discussing it, says she does not expect that pace every week, and adds that she feels less puffy and bloated. She plans to track body composition rather than only the scale and to keep updating viewers.

- GLP-1 vs GLP-2 vs GLP-3: what the names mean, and which ones you can actually buy
GLP-1 drugs such as semaglutide act on one receptor. "GLP-2" is used online for tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro), which acts on two, GIP and GLP-1, and "GLP-3" for retatrutide, which adds the glucagon receptor. Neither nickname is the real name: GLP-2 is a separate gut hormone whose drug, Gattex, treats short bowel syndrome. Retatrutide produced 28.3% mean weight loss at 80 weeks in its phase 3 trial but is not FDA-approved; Lilly plans to file in Q1 2027. Tirzepatide is the strongest option you can buy today.
- Retatrutide: up to 28.3% weight loss in trials, no FDA approval yet, and no legal way to buy it today
Retatrutide is Eli Lilly's experimental weekly injection that acts on three hormone receptors (GIP, GLP-1 and glucagon). In the phase 3 TRIUMPH-1 trial, people on the 12 mg dose lost 28.3% of their weight at 80 weeks by Lilly's efficacy measure (25.0% counting everyone randomized). It is not FDA-approved, has no price, and cannot legally be sold. Lilly plans to file with FDA in Q1 2027. Tirzepatide is the closest thing you can buy now, compounded from $85 a month on our board.
- 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.
