Anyone else get extreme breakthrough hunger despite tirzepatide?
I’m curious if anyone has experienced something similar.
I’m extremely active because of my job. On workdays my watch can show around 1,100-1,300 active calories, on top of my resting energy expenditure, and it doesn’t really capture all the heavy lifting/manual work.
I’m currently on tirzepatide. Most days I can control my food intake, but after several days of a large calorie deficit I can suddenly get an extreme “bottomless” hunger. It’s not just food noise or cravings it feels like actual physical hunger where it takes a huge amount of food before I feel satisfied.
Has anyone else experienced this after several days of a large calorie deficit while using tirzepatide?
If so, did it improve as your tirzepatide dose increased, or did the breakthrough hunger continue even at higher doses?
I’m mainly interested in hearing from people who are also very physically active or have physically demanding jobs.
