How To Lose Weight On Mounjaro?
Mounjaro is changing how people lose weight, but if you’ve never taken it before it’s natural to have questions. Here’s how to lose weight using Mounjaro.
Weight loss medication is changing how people approach weight loss. Not so recently it was down to eat less and move more, or worse fad diets that left you stuck in a diet cycle. Now weight loss medications like Mounjaro are giving people the support they need to make long term lifestyle changes and see real weight loss results.
If you’ve been thinking about trying Mounjaro for weight loss, you don’t have to wait months for a GP appointment. Your Ricky’s Pharmacy in Ewell can provide fast and professional support, helping you get started with losing weight and getting your life back.
While Mounjaro is a game changer, you do need to make serious lifestyle changes to see real results and keep the weight you lose off once you no longer take the medication.
Getting Started with Exercise
Exercise plays a big role in weight loss, but you don’t need to jump straight into intense workouts. In fact, going from nothing to training intensely can lead you to burning out on exercise or injuring yourself.
Start with something simple, like walking. It’s an easy way to get your heart rate up and burn calories without putting too much strain on your body. Try a brisk 20-minute walk each day and gradually increase your time as your fitness improves.
To build strength and protect your joints, consider adding some gentle stretching and yoga. These exercises help improve flexibility, reduce stiffness, and support muscle development. Even ten minutes a day can make a difference. Over time, you can incorporate light resistance training to strengthen your muscles and boost metabolism.
Staying Consistent with Your Medication
Taking Mounjaro regularly is key to seeing results. It works best when you stick to your prescribed schedule and check in with us to make sure your dose is right for you.
If you experience side effects or feel like the medication isn’t working as well as it should, don’t hesitate to speak to us.
You can pop in and speak to us whenever you want to discuss your dosage or get advice on mounjaro side effects. With Ricky’s Pharmacy you’re never on your own, we’re always here to help.
Eating Less and Choosing the Right Foods
Eating fewer calories is important for weight loss, but what you eat matters just as much.
While mounjaro can naturally help you eat less, which will reduce your calorie intake, you still need to choose foods that prioritise nutrition and feeling full. This will help you feel less likely to snack, and set you up with great food habits once you come off the medication. It’ll also help you get the best possible results from the medication.
Prioritise protein and fibre to keep you feeling full for longer, making it easier to stick to smaller portions. Prioritising lean meats, eggs, fish, beans, lentils, and dairy will provide the protein your body needs. Fibre-rich foods like vegetables, whole grains, and legumes support digestion and help curb hunger. Eating a variety of different fruits and vegetables helps make sure you’re getting all the vitamins and minerals you need to stay healthy.
If you’ve never really looked at your diet, or put together a meal plan we can help you find foods that work for you. The example below is a typical healthy day that you can use as inspiration to get started!
Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with spinach and wholegrain toast
Lunch: Grilled chicken salad with mixed greens, chickpeas, and a light dressing. Swapping full fat dressings for lighter options is a great way to cut back on calories without feelings like you’re missing out.
Dinner: Baked salmon with roasted vegetables and quinoa
As well as these examples it’s also important that you drink plenty of water and reducing processed foods which will also help keep cravings under control. With any lifestyle change remember small, sustainable changes will lead to long-term success.
