How To Lose Weight On Mounjaro

Losing weight can feel overwhelming, but Mounjaro is making it easier for many people.

It’s a powerful weight loss medication that helps control appetite and regulate blood sugar, but it’s not a magic fix. To see the best results, it’s important to make changes to your daily habits.

Taking Mounjaro while still eating too much or avoiding movement won’t give you the results you’re hoping for. But when combined with simple lifestyle changes, it can be a fantastic tool to help you lose weight and feel better overall.

Making these changes while taking the medications helps set you up for the future as well, so when you stop taking the medication you’re already used to healthier choices and exercise so you don’t put the weight back on.

If you’re looking to start taking Mounjaro, speak to us at Miles Pharmacy in Epsom. Our team will answer any questions you have, check your eligibility and help you get started.

Start Moving at Your Own Pace

Exercise doesn’t have to mean spending hours in the gym or running until you’re exhausted. Small, steady steps can make a big difference, especially when you’re just getting started. In fact, if you’re starting from no exercise at all to regularly exercising, taking it slow and steady is the best way to avoid burnout and injury.

To get started with regular exercise you should try walking. It’s one of the best ways to introduce movement into your routine. It’s low-impact, meaning it’s gentle on the joints, and you can do it anywhere. A short 10-minute walk after meals is a great place to start. Over time, you can gradually increase your walking time or pace or maybe even start to explore more of the countryside.

Stretching and yoga can also be really helpful for people just starting with exercise. These types of movement improve flexibility, strengthen muscles, and support joint health. Many people find that regular stretching or gentle yoga reduces aches and stiffness, making it easier to stay active in the long run.

The key is to start small and stay consistent. Even small amounts of movement overtime can help boost energy levels and improve weight loss when combined with Mounjaro.

Keeping Up With Your Medication

Mounjaro works best when regularly taken at the right dose. Some people start on a lower dose and gradually increase it, so it’s important that you keep in touch with our team for regular check ups and advice. If your dose is too low, you might not see much change in your appetite or weight. If it’s too high, you could experience unwanted side effects. We’re here to help you manage your medication and answer any questions you have about Mounjaro, with Miles Pharmacy you’re never on your own.

Your time with us is also a good time to discuss any concerns, whether it’s side effects, progress, or how you’re feeling overall.

Eating Well Without Feeling Hungry

One of the biggest mistakes people make when trying to lose weight is cutting calories too much and ending up hungry all the time. This can lead to cycles of binge eating and over indulging which will hold back your progress.
Mounjaro helps by reducing appetite, but making the right food choices can make a huge difference too.

Fibre and protein are your best friends when it comes to staying full. They slow digestion, keeping you satisfied for longer. Protein also helps maintain muscle, which is important when losing weight.

If you’ve never really thought about how to build healthy meals, we can help. Our team will be able to give you advice on which foods to add to help you enjoy your food and still lose weight. To get started here’s an example of a balanced meal plan that focuses on fibre and protein:

Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with spinach and wholegrain toast. The eggs provide protein, while spinach and wholegrain toast add fibre to keep you feeling satisfied.

Lunch: Lentil and vegetable soup with a side of Greek yoghurt. Lentils are packed with fibre and protein, making them a great choice for keeping hunger at bay. The yoghurt adds extra protein and probiotics for gut health.

Dinner: Grilled turkey breast with roasted sweet potatoes and steamed green beans. Turkey is a lean source of protein, while sweet potatoes offer slow-releasing energy and green beans contribute fibre and essential nutrients.

While you’re trying to lose weight you also need to make sure you’re drinking plenty of water. Sometimes, thirst can be mistaken for hunger, so keeping a bottle of water nearby can help prevent unnecessary snacking. If you need snack ideas, a handful of almonds, a boiled egg, or some cottage cheese with cucumber slices can help keep you on track.

Mounjaro is an incredible tool for weight loss, but the best results come when it’s combined with small, healthy changes. Moving more, eating well, and staying consistent with your medication all work together to help you feel your best.
