Dr. G's tips in the video:
1. Adopt a Structured Eating Plan

Plan:
1. Protein Priority: Consume 25–30g of protein per meal to maintain muscle and reduce hunger. Examples:
• Breakfast: 3 scrambled eggs + avocado.
• Lunch: Grilled chicken breast + quinoa + steamed broccoli.
• Dinner: Baked salmon + roasted asparagus.
2. Carbohydrate Management:
• Limit processed carbs; choose whole grains like quinoa, oats, or brown rice.
• Pair carbs with protein to prevent blood sugar spikes.
3. Fruits and Vegetables:
• Include 2 servings of fruit daily (e.g., 1 small apple, 1/2 cup berries).
• Focus on non-starchy vegetables (spinach, cauliflower, zucchini).
4. Meal Timing: Eat at regular intervals (every 4-5 hours) to prevent overeating.

Resources:
• Recipes: Websites like Skinnytaste or EatingWell.
• Meal Tracking App: MyFitnessPal or LoseIt or Cronometer to log meals and macronutrient intake.

Plan:
1. Consult Your Physician: Request a full evaluation of other weight-loss medications that might suit you.
• Phentermine/Topiramate (Qsymia): Suppresses appetite and enhances energy.
• Naltrexone/Bupropion (Contrave): Helps curb cravings.
• Semaglutide (if FDA-approved, branded only): Low-dose continuation.
2. Tapering Schedule: Work with your doctor to gradually reduce the dosage of Tirzepatide over weeks.
