What You Need To Know About Mounjaro
Mounjaro is a prescribed medicine that has an active ingredient called tirzepatide. This is intended for people dealing with Type 2 diabetes and people dealing with chronic weight management. It can be administered at home through self-injected dosages.
It works by injecting the Mounjaro in your body then sending a signal that is responsible for food control in your body. Naturally, your body has 2 hormones, GLP-1 and GIP, that are released every time you eat. The GLP-1 works as the signal which sends a signal to your brain to stop eating and slow down your digestion while the GIP helps in sugar control.
During the first 2 weeks of using Mounjaro, you’ll start to notice some effects aside from weight loss. You will experience a significant decrease in your appetite especially if you tend to eat more before using it. You’ll also reduce the idea of having cravings which leads to decrease of food intake. This is because the Mounjaro is sending signals to your brain to stop eating and decrease your desire of craving for more food.
Why a Structured Diet Is Essential in Mounjaro
Just like Wegovy, Mounjaro helps in losing weight primarily by suppressing your appetite and making you full for a longer period of time. Since it will limit you in taking food, you’ll also be limited in taking nutrients during the medication. This is why Mounjaro only creates the opportunity of weight loss but your structured diet and healthy lifestyle will determine the quality of your loss.

It is why your diet should be intentional even if you are not feeling any hunger at that time. Most people who have gone through Mounjaro and according to studies, best results are achieved when taking Mounjaro is paired with a structured diet and change of healthy lifestyle.
Example Overview of a Mounjaro Diet Plan
Take note that it’s not a one-size-fits-all diet plan and what works for you might not work for others so it is essential to consult with your doctor first about the appropriate diet plan that you should take before taking Mounjaro.
Here’s an example overview on what a Mounjaro Diet Plan should look like:
- Lean more in taking food high in protein. It helps in protecting your muscle during rapid weight loss and it keeps you feeling full for a longer period of time.
