    Thanks for being the taste taste testers. The broccoli pasta dish doesn’t seem worth it unless you’re making it out of convenience. I have to agree with Laraine, 20g of fat is a lot for what the product is when you compare it to other options. If you’re able to balance out the fat content with the rest of the day’s intake, I think it might be good as a work day lunch. Sodium content is something people really need to pay attention to…if you’re taking a GLP-1 you probably have some other health issues like hypertension. Sodium creeps into so many things in large quantities, especially in frozen foods. Christopher, I have to wholeheartedly agree with your marketing fatigue from frozen food makers. It’s gotten beyond ridiculous.

    Thanks for doing this review guys that’s awesome. I like the link cuisine protein, kick line meatloaf and mashed potatoes and gravy. I eat it quite frequently. Usually I only have half for dinner and then I have half the next night, but I also dip that meatloaf in a little bit of Japanese Barbecue sauce and I add those calories to my total because the barbecue sauce gives a little more flavor. But I think it’s really good.

    I've been waiting for this!! Thank you for being the test tasters. You know how I pretty much only eat Lean Cuisine and Healthy Choice so I've been waiting to see how these tasted to add to my repetoire. I would never eat a meal with 400 calories! I gasped when you said that about the mac n cheese. I hate all peppers, so nix the teriyaki right away. I don't eat pork, so pizza is out (and it looks horrible). The grilled chicken bowl looks decent and calories are iffy for me. This is not a good start, Nestle. And $5? Nope on them all. I'm with Laraine. $3 or so is what I try for. Their packaging is horrible. I walked right by it several times before I realized that generic-looking box with the name. Again, thank you for trying them in front of us!

    Thanks, guys, for being the guinea pigs. You asked about diabetics. I’m probably one of the more stringent diabetics when it comes to carbs (50-75g/day). These would be too carby for me, and too low in protein. For example, my lunch today (made by my husband) had 41g protein, 8g fat and 13g carbs. If something has more carbs than protein, I’m usually gonna pass. But, like I said, I keep my carbs super tight. This was super fun to watch. ❤

    I am glad that I am stocked up on Trizepatide for a while and just got a shipment from Hallandale yesterday. I am hoping that I get to goal with what I have, so that if I have to go to Lilly after that, then I could do their 2.5 mg vial for maintenance. While the 2.5mg vial is still too expensive from Lilly, it is still better than paying $549/month for 5mg. Still so stupid on how much they charge for it based on what it costs them to make.

    I'm male, 42, been to the gym (seriously) on and off since I was 16. Put 5 stone on since covid (wasnt training due to spinal injury suffered at work). Back in the gym seriously in Jan this year (at 26 stone). Hit a plateau in june, weight wouldn't shift any more. Started Mounjaro 5 weeks ago. Still training, lost 2 stone, 2% body fat, cholesterol is down 2 points, not struggling with snacking. Now just over 20 stone. This is a very effective weightless solution. If you also train regularly and know nutrition, you will likely see increased results, in my opinion. I went from waiting to have a heart attack in January to feeling quite fit again. My cardio fitness has greatly improved since starting mounjaro. For all those criticising the drug, or the people for taking it, please look at the research. This is, as all drugs, a risk vs reward calculation.

They want to make us suffer my daughter works in a pharmacy. She had to wait a month to get one month of Wogovy and she works there full-time. It’s so messed pharmaceutical companies suck.

I wonder if they waited for the announcement to ship it) They said unopened vials have a 1 year shelf life if properly refrigerated. Red Rock only had a 3 month shelf life, so I'm wondering why the 9 month difference. Has anyone else heard anything about a one year shelf life on compounded Tirzepatide?

      How do you order for 6 months? My prescription is only for a month at a time. I’m using Mochi. It is taking a very long time, 2weeks, to fill prescriptions. Any recommendations?

      Currently I don't see an option to order more than 1 month with Mochi. It's taking 2 weeks for me as well. Place your reorder when you take your 2nd shot.

    Do you think the FDA might be stalling until Trump takes office? When RFK Jr. takes charge, there will be a whole new attitude toward big pharma. Let's hope they don't make a decision until he is in charge!

      RFK is a wild card and that office. Does not actually have the power he thinks it has. - anything is possible but I would not hope for much change. And the new administration is putting pharma exec Vivek Ramaswamy in charge of government efficiency. He has a completely different take than RFK It will be interesting to see how it plays out

    Lorraine, I totally agree with your perspective. I freaked out when I first heard you two talk about the FDA court cases. Now it’s a few weeks later and I’m over it. I can’t invest energy into caring about things I can’t control. I greatly appreciate the updates and explanations but what will happen will happen. We will find a way to address the effects of the court rulings when they come about.

    Hate I missed the live. I was outside running hill repeats in the windy cold. Very happy for my compounding friends. Remember that (even tho it’s not likely) they can make a decision BEFORE 12/19. Still, the more time you get, the better. This is one time we can be glad that the government and the court system move slower than we lose weight! 🤪

      They would still be a part of it as Lilly Direct uses licensed third-party pharmacy service providers including: - EVERSANA - Amazon Pharmacy - Truepill - Gifthealth
