📅 The #1 reason people quit GLP-1 medications is unmet expectations. In this episode of TelehealthFX Talk, we walk you through your first 90 days on semaglutide or tirzepatide week-by-week, so you know exactly what to expect, do not panic when it gets hard, and do not make the mistake that costs most people their results.

👇 **HERE'S WHAT WE COVER** 👇

• **WEEKS 1-2: The Titration Phase** — Starting doses are intentionally LOW (semaglutide 0.25 mg, tirzepatide 2.5 mg). Not the full therapeutic dose — this is calibration. Appetite suppression is mild. Possible nausea, fatigue, constipation — or no side effects at all. Both are normal. What to do: Eat small portions slowly, stop at the first sign of fullness. Avoid high-fat foods. Protein first. Do not weigh yourself obsessively. This is not the results phase yet.

• **WEEKS 3-4: The "Food Noise" Shift** — The milestone patients remember forever: "I just forgot to eat." The constant hunger chatter quiets. Cravings for sugar, processed food, and alcohol decrease. Portions naturally shrink without effort. Scale movement typically begins: 4-8 lbs combined in month 1. Energy improves. Nausea lessens. Psychological adjustment: food becomes less emotionally central.

• **MONTH 2 (Weeks 5-8): Visible Changes & First Dose Increase** — First dose increase (semaglutide → 0.5 mg; tirzepatide → 5 mg). May temporarily bring back mild nausea for 1-2 weeks. Normal. Not a relapse. Average loss: 1-2 lbs/week (highly individual). Clothes fit differently. People notice. Take photos. Measure your waist. Track energy and sleep.

• **MONTH 3 (Weeks 9-12): Habit Lock-In & The Plateau Test** — Full GI adaptation. Lifestyle habits feel automatic. Possible second dose increase. First mini-plateau often appears here. This is NOT failure. This is metabolic adaptation. Stay the course. THIS is where most people who quit, quit — and where most people who succeed, separate themselves. Metabolic markers improve: blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, CRP. These add years to your life.

• **THE 3 PREDICTORS OF 90-DAY SUCCESS** — 1. Protein priority: hits protein targets = more fat loss, less muscle loss. 2. Resistance training: start in month 1, dramatically better outcomes at month 6. 3. Provider engagement: check-ins, dose adjustments, and answered questions = far higher retention.
