I've lost 80 pounds on mounjaro with diet and excersise in 4 months. I am a diabetic and am now at a 6.1 a1c from a 14 just 6 months ago.

I walk every day now I have been on Mounjaro now my third shot was this Sunday; I have already lost 30 + LBS I only drink water or sugar free Pedialyte for the dehydration that comes with my walks. I am eating rolled oats in the am. baked salmon for lunch and walnuts and apples and 0 sugar yogurt mixed berry and some 1% cottage cheese and I am killing it. I was 356 lbs when I was put on this by my dr. for my sugar going past 280 when I wake before I eat in the morning. Now when I wake my sugar is 95 to 108 when I wake in the first month, I can't wait to see the results after my 4th month! I am so happy depression is leaving my world and I am smiling again thanks to this shot and my long fast as I can go walks! I am recording everything with Fitbit sense 2, and apple watch s8. I am also taking picks of my progression! I pray for each and every one of you to lose this weight and come out feeling great again!!

I am on Week 2 of Mounjaro, and I'm stunned by it. From Day 1, my appetite decreased, I felt full more quickly, I don't want to snack, and I feel like I'm healing my relationship with food. I'm understanding what the word "full" actually means for a change. AND my glucose is amazing! I tested a little while ago, and I was at 97. In May, when I was diagnosed as diabetic, my glucose was 382. This drug is a miracle!

I have lost 6.2 lbs on 2.5 first week my week ends tomorrow this is amazing

I just finished week 4 of the 2.5 and I am down 23 lbs in 3 weeks (I have not done my weigh in for week 4 yet so we will see) I start the 5 mg shot this Friday and my doctor was shocked I lost that much from the loading dose. It’s amazing and has already changed my life for the better!!!!

I'm on Week 3 of Mounjaro, and zero effects. This happened when I was on Ozempic and it wasn't until I titrated up to 1mg that I actually felt the fullness that everyone talked about. This is really good info though! One thing is that if any medication causes you constipation - chia seeds (crazy amount of fiber). I put them in my morning/breakfast smoothie (chocolate Kachava, crushed ice, unsweetened vanilla almond milk and PB2 - super yummy). First time in my life I have been regular as clockwork (sorry for the TMI, but hope it helps!!)

I was diagnosed with t2 diabetes and since taking mounjaro I went down to pre-diabetes. I'm so happy next step no diabetes

I'm on week 3 of 2.5mg. My food cravings, especially for sugar and simple carbs, are gone! I've lost 9 lbs so far. This video was very helpful in explaining how to eat better.

I just started Mounjaro and your channel came up pretty quickly, so thank you very much for the straightforward advice and information! I’m a new subscriber as of now, so thank you again! ❤

I'm on week 6 of 5.0 Mounjaro. People look down on it as a crutch, but I have never felt true "satiety" until I was on this medication. My feeling of being "full" or "satiated" before the medication would lag wayyyy behind so I wouldn't feel it until I already overate. If I stopped short, measuring calories and such, I would stop but still feel hungry. I see this medication as correcting a hormone imbalance, a hunger/satiety imbalance. Heck, even the side effects of slower gastric emptying solved my IBS-D. It's wild how long I've been miserable because of these issues, to be gone in literally the first few days of the medication.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Thank you 🙏🏾

I’m adding I had talked a bit about my journey, I have went from 11 A1C down to 5.9 I am off all metformain sugar meds I am now in full remission from t2 diabetes and am feeling wonderful … I am walking 5 miles a day and eating very low carb diet so it is not just the shot. Hope you all are coming along with me on this journey and are doing well !!! Good luck to the new ones

Great advice. Thank you for breaking it down for us in 'layman' terms. Excellent!!!

I SO MUCH APPRECIATE this video! I'm starting Mounjaro 2.5 as soon as my insurance clears it, and having heard the side effects I'm a little nervous. Your easy-to-understand explanation and advice will help a lot, I'm sure. I took notes!

I just started this medicine and I can say that this video is super helpful. Although I am in week one and haven’t lost any weight yet I still and hopeful of the goodness it will do me.

Great recap, i started on 2 5 now up to 7.5 down 25 lbs since October 22

I use true lemon and true lime to add flavor to water. It is crystalized lemon and lime water. Its a way for me to not add artificial sweetners but have a good taste

Thanks so much for this video! It explains my upset tummy (eating to fast & not enough meals), better food choices and just the overview of the medication itself was great. Thanks again! Taking new patients👀😂🤗 #week1

I love how approachable you are. I’m on week 2 on Mounjaro, so this is kinda overwhelming. My favorite complex carb is poi. Thank you for your video!

Very beneficial.

This is my 2nd week on Mounjaro. I am pre diabetic. I did have upset stomach and nauseous on the 1st shot but have not had any problems with the 2nd dose. I have lost 5 lbs in my 1st week. I am loving Mounjaro and hope to get awesome results to reverse pre diabetes and to lose weight to be healthier.

Just took my first shot no problem so far glad I found you💜💜💜

Excellent presentation, thank you! Just the kind of food guidelines that I needed on my mounjaro diet. I've lost 16 pounds in 3 weeks even being unable to exercise due to a hip issue!

Thank you so much for this!!!! I start tomorrow and was nervous. I did trulicity and it really helped my A1C but I didn't see the weight loss. It took since August to get this approved for me and now I feel better about using it!

Very nice presentation for beginners.

I’m starting this tomorrow. Thank you for the video ❤

NEW SUBBIE! I'm on Week 3 (2.5mg & Non-Diabetic), love your videos, definitely wish I'd found you before starting to prepare my body, mind, and meals. I'm learning alot from your channel and also sharing my Journey on my channel as well! Notification button activated 💞 (down 11.1lbs)

I am starting today DAY 1 and very excited. Thank you for all the information in your videos.

I agree with everything Whitney mentioned in this video. I also would suggest that you eat the smallest meal at dinner and at least 4 hrs before bed. I found that if I don’t do this I have gastric distress. Stomach pain is terrible in the morning, then I have to allow for time on the toilet for relief.

Just started last night!! Can’t wait to see the results!

I stop with the beef and the rice, only eat chicken, turkey, center cut lean pork and fish. For snacks the adkins bar when I’m at work. I’m starting 4 week on mounjaro I love it

Great videos. Love your energy. Very helpfu. ❤❤

I love Mounjaro..Starting week 4 tomorrow and I am already down 9lbs! Only side effect I have is dry mouth. I usually crave salty snacks but since starting this Ive had no cravings and ironically everything tastes salty to me so I rarely use alot of seasonings on my food..win win I say!

You are so helpful!! Your channel has been extraordinarily helpful to me. Thank you! Question: If someone can't get the 10mg of Mounjaro (shortage), has anyone taken the 7.5mg i5 or 6 days apart ? Is a smaller dose fewer days apart a good short term solution - has it worked for anyone? Thanks for all your videos

just started mounjaro and this video was very informative...thank you for posting~

You are awesome and this is a great informative video. Thank you

Excellent information thank you.

Thank you so much for not blasting awful, annoying music!!!!!!

Just started my first injection Thursday,,, todays Friday and I feel good,,, I’ve gained about 30lbs over the past year and a half from post menopause and stress eating,,, I feel confident this is goi g to get me back on track ,,, thank you for posting these videos,,, so very helpful 👍♥️

Very helpful video. Im starting mounjaro today

Thank you for talking about what to eat

Great video by the way thank you!!

Thank you for this video. I started Zepbound tomorrow and while I'm nervous, your tips were very reassuring.

great information thanks!

So far your video is the best one that I have found. Thank you so much!

Thank you for this. I’m about to start with the 5mg and I’m excited but nervous because my appetite has been so off for the longest time, and this helps me whittle down what my meal plan should look like

I am SO glad I found your channel!! I'm supposed to begin the shot tomorrow and I'm scared to death. LOL I've heard of people vomiting etc and I just can't handle that. PRAYING that it's not one of my side effects. I always kept wondering what I should eat. Currently, I've been on a low-carb diet (not keto, but under 40 grams) for about 2 weeks and have lost a tiny bit, but not much. I don't have diabetes yet, but I AM pre-diabetic and have not been able to lose ANY weight in the last year or so. This is my last hope before looking more into surgery. I'm 45 and just HAVE to lose this weight. :-(

I’m on day three! I don’t feel much different but I’m on the lowest dosage. I’m excited to see what the future holds. I came across your video and I appreciate you! I have been fighting diabetes and struggled with weight. I have lost a good amount recently but aim to do more. My a1c was 12 and I got it down to 8. So I hope the progress will continue!

Well, I somehow beat the average. It hasn't even been a month yet and I am down 14.1 lbs.! My doc tells me that beats the average by about 3-4 pounds. He's given me 5mg. Onward and downward!

This was very helpful, thank you so much!!

This video is extremely helpful! Start 2.5 shots 6 wk ago- lost 12 lb in 1st 15 days. I’ve had 2 wk of the 5mg and have lost another 6 lb so 18 lb in just at 6 weeks! My blood sugars are sooo much better and I don’t feel the brain fog and extreme fatigue I used to feel. Im a brand new type 2 with all this. I have to remind myself to eat sometimes d/t appetite so suppressed. Your instructions will help me even more! Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Hi there, love this video very informative. Do you happen to know how long the compound process works in the lab? Meaning, I have some coming, and it’s in the compound process. Just want to know if that takes days or weeks. I am super anticipating getting it and cannot wait! Thank you .

I'm loving mounjaro so far! I'm not diabetic or even close but this has really helped. Thank you for the mounjaro/weightloss videos.

I was on ozempic first and all it did was make me want to eat. It was uncontrollable and i gained so much on it. I was also on glimepiride and tresiba with the ozempic. Right now im just on mounjaro and aside from the constant nausea the first 48 hrs, i have very little desire to eat or snack. It's really keeping my blood sugars stay on track as well. My highest reading since taking mounjaro has been 142. Now that the nausea is gone, im excited to see if it helps with my weight as well as my type2.

Here’s a tip also freeze your bread before you eat it it drops the glycemic index by over 30% and even more if you toast it after you thaw it out and that’s amazing!!!!!😊

Fantastic video . Thank you

Hi just started mounjaro yesterday. Im hopeful to get my sugar under control and lose weight as a bonus. Seeing all the positive comments and videos I’m getting excited about it. When covid happened I got out of the construction business and got a desk job but kept the bad habits and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and it’s been down hill battle with my a1c. My goal is to be able to kayak fish for a long period of time and not feel like I’m dying lol

That you, that was very helpful.

Really sensible and practical advice here. Being realistic helps longterm.

I am still waiting on the big results of weight loss with MJ I just started 7.5mg and having irregular heart beat …and I have only lost 10pounds. I lost more with OZ and I am thinking about going back No irregular heart beat with OZ. Kudos to everyone who has lost big with MJ

Thanks just took my first shot.

Good advice. Seems eating resistant starch with meals helps. Glaucomannon too.

I've been a t2 diabetic for some time .. with synjardy alone my glucose levels would be in the high 200... 280 290... tomorrow will be my 6th day on the 1st week.. ive lost 3 lbs and all week my glucose levels have been in the 90's to 130 being the highest.....one day it was at 86.... ive never seen it that low.. im not hungry and hardly ever crave food... I love mounjaro

Hey, thank u for this nice Video. Monjauro is fresh on the Market in Germany and i took my first shot today. The Doctors are totally uninformed right now :D Helps me a lot. 💚

thanks for the video it helps

About to start mounjaro so this was a helpful video , thank you

Thank you for a great informative video. I have a question, where does dairy fall into this? Can I eat cheese, cream, butter, etc? Also, what about alcohols? Are certain ones safer than others? I very rarely drink anything, but occasionally a White Russian might be nice. Thoughts? And, sorry, one more. I used to be 400 lbs. I dropped to 255 by walking and getting rid of McDonald's. All I have left now is the very firm visceral fat in my abdomen. Should I be expecting slower results from any of this? Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it!

Thank you for this video.❤❤❤

Rule of thumb on fruits with high sugar content....."If it's white, it's not right." Bananas have 10 to 19 grams of sugar. Apples, the same. Started on Mounjaro a week ago with 2.5mg dosage. I've been on a paleo diet and though it has helped, no weight loss results to write home about. I'm praying this does it.

I’ve been on Trulicity for awhile. When I first started, I lost about 8-10 lbs, then gained it back. Now, been losing the same 3 lbs over & over! A1C went from 7 to 6.6. But it’s so hard to lose the weight!!! I’m 5’2” and weigh 182. My whole body is in extreme pain from arthritis and fibromyalgia and it’s difficult to walk and carry all this weight!! Also, depression, chronic fatigue and sleep disturbances. I feel Mounjaro could help all of this! On my next appointment with my Endo, I’m hoping she agrees to switch me to Mounjaro! I need to lose about 45 lbs!And I hope my insurance covers it. I’ve been paying Zero $ for all my Rx’s. I’m on WellCare Medicare Advantage Dual and Medicaid with Extra Help. Wish me luck!!

Diagnosed with type-2 diabetes 3 weeks ago, and just now finished 2nd week of Mounjaro. My best days are the ones where I have a hard-boiled egg and a 4 oz. cup of unsweetened apple sauce in the morning, with 8 oz whole milk. Then a salad and a sashimi plate in the early afternoon. After that I'm done for the day with no hunger cravings. I'm drinking water like a camel to prevent dehydration. Down 15 pounds in two weeks. Hopefully my A1C levels will be down as well next checkup.

Im on 5, first 6 weeks down 25 lbs, also i cut out sugar,potatoes, pasta and junk food, McDonald's, Subs from wawa,etc, cant wait to see next 6 weeks results.

Getting ready to begin mounjaro on Monday. Kind of scared. I see the videos of all the side effect- sulfur burping and hair loss and nausea. Just coming off Ozempic which I didn't lose a whole lot. I am Type 2 Diabetic and Hypothyroid. I should probably stay off Google. However, I have heard a few say this is helping them alot so it's worth a shot

I tried a few weeks back the GLP one, and they mixed it with a special B vitamin compound that came in with the shot, and I was so anxious and shaky, my body does not do well with B vitamins, but I would like to try this one without any vitamins in it but I don’t know if anyone has had like neurological side effects like I did foggy mind, extreme exhaustion, anxiety, shakiness, the nausea, I can deal with just fine

I start taking the shot tomorrow- what supplements do you recommend?

Great video. I just switched from Ozempic to Mounjaro. (Ozempic was giving me terrible abdominal cramps.) The only troubling thing I have with this swtich is that it seems that Mounjaro does not have the cardio benefits that Ozempic has. My cardiologist wanted me on Ozempic because of the benefits it has in preventing heart attack and stroke. Are there any studies that show that Mounjaro has these cardio benefits, as well?

Take my firsf shot on this coming Monday.

Waiting for this to arrive in Australia

I just started Mounjaro today. You hit some good points, especially on going for brown foods inside of white. I have some oatmeal that I need to use up but it is instant. Is that ok or do I need to get the old fashioned type? Also, what about cream of wheat instead of grits or cream of rice?

I'm on saxenda with good results, but as soon as Mounjaro gets approved for weight loss, I'll likely switch. I like the idea of once per week injection rather than daily. This is helpful information. Thanks!

I loved your video. It was awesome very informative. Wish I saw this when I first started Mojarro. I am going on seven months and I have lost 70 pounds. I am on 15 MG I want to lose another five just to have it under my belt. I saw in another video. One doctor suggested maintenance of once a month instead of once a week, is that a good suggestion? .

Hello, I have PCOS , pre diabetic 5.8-5.9 my physican prescribed this Mounjaro, I am concerned with sugar dropping to low should I be worried about that?

I just stared at the 5mg today, super excited to see how it goes!

I took the 2.5 ane moved up to the 5 now. I am not losing weight like everyone says they are. I am type 2 and i have lost some inches but it is frustrating that i am not losing weight.

Just started Zepbound - really appreciate your video with diet modification suggestions. Where in FL are you based?

For those of us who fast for the benefits of autophagy, how can we meet our nutritional needs in a short eating window of 4-6 hours ?

Does it speed up metabolism and/or is it a fat burner? My issue is I am prescribed stimulants for narcolepsy so I am never hungry until my meds wear off which is at nighttime so overtime I’ve developed the horrible unhealthy habit of only eating dinner (bc that’s when I have an appetite) I am working on incorporating smoothies protein shakes during the day as I know my metabolism has been wrecked. I’ve also been in low dose steroids for over 2 years off and on for auto immune disorder. Ironically I am a healthcare provider (nurse practitioner) however I have not practiced in office or in clinic for over 5 years due to my chronic pain related to auto immune diseases. I have gained over 50 pounds within the last 9-12 months which completely floored me! However being I now work from home sedentary lifestyle and also only eat one meal a day (yikes) I know a lot is due to those circumstances. I’ve researched this Med and I’m wondering if I should mention it to my pcp? My BMI right now is 32.8? What are your thoughts- I’ve asked other provider friends however they do not seem as educated as you are on this particular topic. Thanks so much I hope you respond and I look forward to your feedback and professional opinion!

My insurance won't cover Monjauro but I used the coupon. The second refill took another 3 weeks because it was on backorder . When they did get they couldn't get coupon to go thru so I am just staying with ozempic

Its high protein and low fat and low carb that's the best Thank me later, made me go from fat to shredded with abs

I started on 2.5mg 6 months ago, Im on 15mg now and down 61lbs... By the end of month 1 I was down 23lbs. It started to slow down a bit once i went on 7.5 and I couldnt find the 10mg anywhere so i had to skip that one and go to 12.5 ( NOT recommended) but feel pretty stable on 15mg so far.

How could this help someone that eats mostly carnivore, with very few carbs? I reversed my type 2 but I am trying to lower my fasting insulin. I no longer have issues with blood sugar but I am thinking it will take time to lose my blood insulin level. I understand how this works for people that are diabetic and eating carbs but for someone eating very low carb I don’t see how weightloss happens if this is increasing insulin production.

What fruits would you say are the fruits that include the simple sugars? 😊

What are the "good fruits" and the "bad fruits? '

was on 2.5mg on mounjaro for about 2 months...1lb loss. Now, I am on 5mg for about a month. I have only lost about 4lbs. I exercise every day and even switched most of my protein to TVP and doing more vegetarian meals. I am surprised that I am not losing more weight.

Have you had any patients who had a gastric sleeve surgery use the Mounjaro? My sleeve was done in about 2014 and I lost 80 pounds and my T-2 diabetes went away. But almost half the lbs have crept back, I’m hungry all the time, my A1C is up and the Metformin is giving me GI issues.

I’m on 5.0 mounjaro and I am having opposite of everyone I talk to I am never hungry - and if I eat it makes me sick I feel like after 3 bites that I have engorged myself and cannot function for at least 2 hrs …… I am though thirsty ! Which helps w water consumption …. But am not seeing dramatic weight loss at all

the problem i am having is that i am suffering from hypoglycemia on maunjaro. exceedingly week and trembling, and utterly without energy. i feel that maunjaro is demanding something from me that i simply do not have to give it. can this reaction be remedied and if so, how?

I am on my 2 round of 10 mg since late Sept I'm only down 30 pounds got 30 more to go

Is there any benefit fasting on mounjaro?
