Milk, cream, and non-dairy whiteners like almond, soy, or oat milk are considered "solids" because they stay in the stomach much longer than water
Urine color charting, targeting pale straw yellow at every void, provides a practical real-time feedback tool
The potential clinical relevance of this finding relates to the dose-limiting effect of nausea with existing GLP-1R agonists
Solutions include increasing the dose (raising the entire curve including the trough), splitting the dose into twice-weekly injections (reducing the trough depth while maintaining the same total weekly dose), or switching to a medication with a longer half-life (semaglutide troughs are shallower than tirzepatide troughs due to its longer half-life)
Monitoring should be proportional, not automatic
Even tirzepatide microdosing cannot guarantee only fat will be lost
