68 y/o male, been on mounjaro 3 weeks now and down 19lbs. I cut out all sugars and limit my carbs. I really try to stay away from processed foods. 4-6 oz of protein per meal and a few veggies. No sodas, water and coffee are my go to drinks. My family doctor recommended an endocrinologist to prescribe the weight loss medication. Enjoy your videos, down from 320 to 301 so far. I find I police what goes in my mouth if that helps someone else. I eat 2 meals a day with a small fasting window of 4 hours, mainly lunch and dinner. Small meals that I know I can sustain after mounjaro is no longer an option in the future. Eat Whole Foods as much as possible. After listening to many doctor audible books, these choices are the most recommended for weight loss. Just my two bits of info.

Hi Brittany! I am a new subscriber, and will be looking back on some of your older videos. You look amazing!! ⭐️ Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.

So glad to have you here!

Good video Brittany! Keep them coming

Hi Brittney this is a great video! So much beautiful knowledge. And you’re so cute…. Drink the water! I hear so many people say they don’t drink much water like it’s not the problem.

Hi Britney I’m new here glad to find u! I just started my week 3 Wednesday. I’ll check for weight loss Tuesday in my drs office so hoping for the best. Some side effects for me have sucked but seem to not be as bad or lost as long this week so far. My stress levels have sucked lately so idk how that’s affecting anything. I’ll see on Tuesday as far as weigh loss. Thanks so much for your helpful videos! I hope to lose at least 60lbs but hoping for 70-75 see how that goes.

Hi Brittney! Those were 5 great tips! I am on my 7th week on Mounjaro and am on 5 mg. I am hoping to stay on 5 mg for awhile. I have had my primary physician for over 30 years. He is wonderful and knows me well. He had me on 2.5 for the first month and then upped me to 5 mg. He told me I will stay on each level from here on out until I no longer lose weight at that level. We are set to do blood work and doctor's visit every 6 months. I have type 2 diabetes and this drug is amazing! I know my A1c is coming down quickly due to wearing a Freestyle libre glucose sensor. I just subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching more of your past videos! I too am doing KZread lives I like to call Mounjaro Mondays when I take my shot. I only know in person one other person who is taking Mounjaro and that is my dad. It is so nice to have a KZread community to share what works and what to look out for! Thanks for sharing your journey! 😊

Hi, I'm on my 7th week 5mg as well. I've noticed that I do have more appetite on 5mg than I did with 2.5 mg. I have to work a little harder not to eat over my allotted calories my Dr gave me. But I take my next 5mg tonight and after that 2 more. Hopefully I will see some improvement with my appetite suppression. Looking forward to titrating up next month. How are you doing on 5mg?

I started a month ago and I don’t think I have lost anything. I have washed dozens of videos, and this one is the most helpful. Thank you for this.

Hello Brittany, boy did this video show up at the right time. I am going into my ninth week, currently at 5 ml, and I feel my weight loss had stalled. But I am only taking in about 700 to 800 calories a day. I just can't get food down. I never thought about the starvation affect. I also wasn't drinking water. I just started to be more conscience about that and lost 3 lbs last week. Thank you so much for this advise. I don't know how I will get more food in but I will give it everything I have. Thanks again for the videos.

Not true , I have diabetes my glucose levels were thru the roof , I started on mounjaro and lost 17lbs the first 2 weeks , on 2.5mgs,, my sugar readings were so low I couldn’t believe it ,, I walk 3 miles everyday and drink lots of water no appetite , at all - no side effects just a little nausea in the morning ,, everyone is different ,, 😊

Its great that newbies find a safe space, positive support and advice from the GLP1 community, but it worries me that soooo many basic questions should have already been addressed by their prescriber BEFORE they took their 1st shot, like the most basic guidance for those early weeks hasn't been given. Are they just prescibing and then cutting these poor people loose to fend for themselves? Thats pretty awful patient care. My provider has scheduled one-on-one Zoom mtgs every 4 wks since I started with my RD & my fitness trainer to answer my questions & follow up on my progress. I realize all providers can't provide this level of care, but it seems like some provide nothing at all. 😢💔

Can you do a video on what specific blood tests you did regularly to check on mounjaro effect on your body so we know what to ask for.

WoW, thank you so much for this video. No wonder I haven't lost weight after being on 5mg Mounjaro. I hardly eat anything, only fruit and thats all. My doctor just increased it to 7.5mg to be honest, im so scared because of the horrible side effects I'm having, nauseas, headache and bad mood. What it has helped if my A1C, now its at 6.6 🎉.

My dr stopped me at the 1ml. I'm 5ft and was 170lbs. I'm now 120lbs which is great for my BMI. I'm also a newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic. I went into DKA in 2022 and was insulin dependent. I've been off my insulin ever since starting Ozempic in January 2023 and lost over 50lbs. My dr also has me on a OTC probiotics to help keep me regular. I've never had any side effects in my 13 months of Ozempic 🙌🏽😊

I’m due my 4th injection lost 20lbs but had to stop to check my blood labs

I started Mounjaro 5 weeks ago and I had a weird first few weeks of a journey, and I'm frustrated and confused... Started on 2.5mg and Wk1-Lost 2pounds, Wk2-Lost 18pounds (Not lying-I was shocked), after that week, I've not lost a pound, but also I've not put on any either!!! Wk5 I went up to 5.0mg and still I've not lost anything!!! Please can someone give me some info? I cut all sugars, sweets, carbs out by Week 3, then cut back my portions. I just don't feel hungry and no cravings which is great, and now for 2 weeks I@'ve had no carbs except a wholemeal roll with some cooked meat on, any other meals its high in protein and vegetables, no carbs. I'm also drinking a lot of fresh lime water with a dash of sugar free squash and a vitamin C effervesant as in the evening I take a lot of tablets for my ailments (Bad osteoarthritis) Please help! What am I doing wrong ?!?!?

I’ve been on 2.5 Mounjaro for 2 months. Only lost 4 lbs so far. There is no way I’m ready to go up to 5mg. Side effects 🤢. The good news is my blood sugar levels are normal now

The manufacturer insists on rotating the shot site. Never do the same shot location twice in a row.

My doctor started me on 5mg because in his words “we have to get this weight off of you” I lost 20lbs in 3 weeks. I’m now on my fourth week. He titrated me up to 7.5 for my second and third month which I start next week. I noticed when I drank more water, I was less nauseous or didn’t experience it at all.

Does Manjouro break down the fat cells or just suppress appetite? Currently taking wagovy and the weight loss hasn’t been that great. Thanks

Neither of these drugs gets rid of fat cells. The drugs suppress appetite and slow the emptying of food in your stomach. There is some research that MJ assists in breaking down the Brown fat that lives in between your organs. You still need to have a calorie deficit in order to lose weight. The drugs don’t do that by themselves, but they help you to not eat as much by suppressing your appetite.

Brittany I have a real issue with drinking the water and I do not drink sodas . I do have mayve 2 to three cups of black coffee each day but do you have any tricks or hints how to get the water I need to not be such a challenge?

Weird, but true- if you're using water bottles with a twist or screw cap you're less likely to reach for water than if you have a sport-top bottle or something with a straw! If you're using regular, disposable water bottles it's harder to encourage yourself to drink water (even though they do have labeled amounts of how much water is in the bottle) than it is if you use one with indicated increments on the side. Get yourself a fun, cute water bottle! I love the Pogo Tritan bottles. I get 'em on Amazon, they're super cheap, dishwasher safe, and come in different sizes. And finally, set yourself an alarm/reminder to drink!

hi Brittany

How many dosage are there 2.5 5 7.5 is there more

I am on 2.5mg and only lost 6lbs after three whole weeks. This is after very careful eating and daily exercise….

Can you fast constantly while on this because my first dose is coming on Thursday and I'm someone who does extreme shit like the snake diet - would be helpful to know as I bought it as an appetite suppressant to help me fast. Thanks

It is not great that you can get mounjaro on line.

Please be careful giving medical advice. Telling folks to drink their body weight in ounces of water is dangerous. That is way too much water for some. If someone weights 300 lbs, that means they would be drinking over TWO Gallons of water a day. A better “guideline” would be HALF of your body weight in water -but again -it’s a “guideline”
