Just from my own experience of the people I speak with, it sounds like most people using them don’t have good lifestyle habits. There are exceptions though.

That is true but it’s even worse if they eat junk
Do you (or others that agreed with your sentiment) have a source for this?
FWIW, I’ve personally trended towards eating more junk on tirzepatide as I’ve come to realize that the biggest lever in my day to day health is simply the quantity of food (calories). With that said, I probably still eat much healthier (by whatever definition of healthy you’d like to measure) than the average person.
What kind of junk? I sometimes get a craving for something salty and crunchy. My method to get over that is to just eat something healthy with salt in it, and take a potassium chloride capsule with it to balance out electrolytes.

On tirzepetatide I tend to only eat fast food when I feel like my electrolytes are out of balance.

I have a feeling tirzepatide causes the body to eliminate electrolytes faster than usual. I had a problem that seemed to resolve with taking a large dose of electrolytes so I started taking that daily.

Down 107 lbs. on Reta over 9 months. For me it has been a miracle peptide. Experimenting with what maintenance will be and adding more muscle all over now. Want this all sorted before I start the Faye TRIIM protocol for a year.

WOW, congratulations!
It’s not something I’ve read much about, so no source off the top of my head, the Nestle product line for GLP-1 agonist users is Vital Pursuit.

I use a custom salt that mixes 25% Himalayan pink salt and 75% Potassium Citrate. Other ratios are possible.

Most electrolyte blends recommend 2x more salt than potassium, but that is stupid to me since most people get enough salt in food and not enough potassium. Yours sounds like a better approach.

This should be in EVERYONE’S kitchen cabinet. If I eat a high sodium meal, I have a little bit of this to balance it out.

That’s a good idea! Up until now, I’ve only used it when I’m seasoning my own food. But I occasionally order food, like soy seasoned Uber eats, and this could help balance it out.
