Thread quality is excellent — keep it up. 👍
Clinical perspective on Meal prepping when you have zero:
I have managed roughly 300 patients on GLP-1 therapy and this topic comes up frequently. What the data shows — and what I see in practice — is that proper titration prevents most adverse events.
For this specific question, I would recommend: reviewing the relevant clinical guidelines.

I respect Admin perspective but I think this oversimplifies things a bit. Re: Meal prepping when you have — the effect size varies considerably by population.
I am not saying Admin wrong entirely — just that the picture is more nuanced than a blanket statement. The STEP data specifically shows dose-dependent variation.
Reading this thread on Meal prepping when you hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 273 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.
9 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 48 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.
If you are on the fence about Meal prepping when — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️
