    Just about to start Mounjaro. Any tips?

    I hear I should be eating 1.5 G protein per kg weight but I don’t know if that is my target weight or current weight?

    I hear that I should be exercising 5 days a week but detail is hard to find on that also. What do you guys do?

    Wishing every one the best on their journey.

    @rachelshepherdofsydney, I hope to start very, very soon too! My prescription was supposed to be filled (finally!) mid-June, so checking with Pharmacy on Monday 🤞

    I’ve been using mounjaro for two months. Of course, you have to eat in calorie deficit. I lost 5lb the first month then another 8 the next.
    I’m finding the app very helpful for scanning barcodes of food while I’m preparing my meal.
    It’s helping me to develop healthy eating habits. I’m not a fan of protein supplements, but am taking a good quality multi vitamin and magnesium glycate.

    Unless you want to stay on this for life( as diabetics may need to ) you need to teach yourself what a healthy person eats or you’ll just go back to your old ways.

    Hi ThisIsMegs53 I am also in the UK and have been on Mounjaro for 5 weeks, so just moved from 2.5 to 5Mg. I am using My Fitness Pal to calculate and regulate my calorie intake and manage my exercise, which currently consists of a brisk (<50 min) walk every day. I have managed to lose around 2 stone, but this is up and down each day. I have to lose about another 5 stone to get to where the Dr wants me to be, which seems a LOT!
    I haven't suffered from too may side effects so far, upset tummy and restlessness, but i have good Nurse at the GP surgery who has been great.
    How are you getting on a few months in? is it working for you any top tips to help me on the journey?
    Take Care
