Reading this thread on Protein requirements on hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 261 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.
7 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 36 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.
If you are on the fence about Protein requirements — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️

JakeBK_lifts — that is really helpful context on Protein requirements on. Follow-up question: what labs did your doctor order to monitor this?
I am in a similar situation (just started) and trying to set realistic expectations.
