tirzepatide y ozempic vs. Semaglutide for Weight Loss Watch out for fake versions

I have lost a decent amount of weight without a big crazy unhealthy change

Individual results vary based on starting weight, metabolic health, adherence to the protocol, and lifestyle factors

Mounjaro/Zepbound (tirzepatide) acts on both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, while Wegovy (semaglutide) and Saxenda (liraglutide) act only on GLP-1 receptors

For obesity (Zepbound), use E66.01 (morbid obesity due to excess calories) with a supporting Z68 BMI code
