I Made 7 GLP-1 Mistakes While Losing 50 Pounds

After losing 50 pounds on a GLP-1 at 72, I’ve learned quite a few things about weight loss, including some mistakes I didn’t even realize I was making. In today’s video, I’m sharing 7 of my mistakes that I made in the last 8 months on Zepbound. mistakes, from not eating enough and not getting enough protein, to protecting muscle, dealing with constipation, understanding hunger, increasing my dose, and eventually hitting a weight-loss plateau. One of the biggest things I’ve learned on my Zepbound weight-loss journey is that the medication can be an incredible tool, but I still have to participate in my own health. When my weight loss stalled after 50 pounds, I finally realized that some of the habits that helped me lose the weight in the first place had quietly started slipping away. If you’re taking Zepbound (tirzepatide), another GLP-1 medication, or you’re trying to lose weight after 60 or 70, I hope sharing my experience helps make your journey a little easier. ▶️ WATCH NEXT: My Zepbound Weight Loss Stalled After 50 Pounds — Here’s What Changed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsSbwGKJgeU CHAPTERS 00:00 7 Zepbound Mistakes I Made 01:12 Mistake #1 — Not Eating Enough 02:28 Mistake #2 — Not Getting Enough Protein 03:10 Mistake #3 — Not Protecting My Muscle 04:57 Mistake #4 — Ignoring Constipation 06:33 Mistake #5 — Thinking Hunger Meant Zepbound Wasn’t Working 08:07 Mistake #6 — Thinking a Higher Dose Would Restart Weight Loss 09:03 Mistake #7 — Letting My Healthy Habits Slip 10:58 What I’ve Learned After Losing 50 Pounds I’m not a doctor or dietitian.
