Ive been pretty open about being on it. I have lost about 30# so far (from 240 → 210#, 6’ 47 female, 226 ftp)
My experience with training and racing from before to now is that I have to be much more mindful about my fueling. I cant just get by on fasted workouts. I get shaky/weak/feel hypoglycemic if im not fueling well now. before I used to think nothing of a longish fasted ride.
Congrats on the weight loss. What has is your deficit now compared to before taking Tirzepatide? Any notable side effects while you’ve been on it and what has your training been since starting? Are you just doing base/endurance stuff or going through build and peak cycles too?
assuming you are asking me. I try very hard not to track to closely as ive had disordered eating my entire life and the slippery slope to not eating at all is an easy one to get on when I start tracking. I eat roughly 2000kCal/day outside of ride fueling, with an emphasis on protein and fiber, no absolute restrictions. Ive been down the restriction road before (I was keto/carni for 4 years and before that i dabbled in plant based, cico, macros ect. if there is a diet i have tried it) i train about 16ish hrs/week which is pretty consistent with what i have done for yrs. (triathlete now racing marathon mtb/gravel) biggest side effect is that I have to be very cognizant of my fueling. It was nothing before to go for a longish ride fasted. Now there is no way I can do that without feeling hypoglycemic.
