How to maximise weight loss on Mounjaro While Mounjaro effectively reduces appetite and hunger on its own, research shows you can enhance your results by implementing certain strategies: Eat a diet based mainly on whole foods Ensure every meal contains a source of protein, complex carbohydrates, fibre from non-starchy vegetables, and fat Include a portion of protein the size of an open hand in every meal (20-40g per meal) Protein helps preserve muscle mass during weight loss Practical examples: 250g Greek yoghurt (~20g protein), 4 eggs (24g protein), 100g chicken breast (30g protein) Create a supportive food environment Remove ultra-processed foods from your home Prepare healthy meals in advance for busy days Keep pre-cut vegetables readily available Plan your meals around protein sources Increase movement Add a morning walk to your routine, even 5 minutes outside can improve our energy levels for the day Consider resistance training 2-3 times weekly if able Even light activity helps maintain muscle mass Focus on movement you enjoy rather than intense exercise Try exercise snacking, like calf raises when the kettle boils Research from Second Natures programme 5 shows that patients who implement these strategies alongside medication achieve better weight loss outcomes than those using medication alone
