What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) is an TGA-approved medication for type 2 diabetes and weight management. It works by mimicking your own naturally occurring hormones GLP-1 and GIP, which regulate blood sugar levels, appetite, and digestion. This helps you feel full longer, reduce cravings, and promote steady weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
The guide on how to take Mounjaro is linked below.
Diet Tips for Success
Prioritize protein & fibre – Keeps you full and supports muscle health.
Stay hydrated – Aim for at around 8 glasses of water daily to reduce nausea.
Limit greasy, processed foods – Can worsen stomach discomfort.
Listen to your hunger cues – Mounjaro naturally reduces appetite, so avoid overeating.
Choose low-glycaemic (GI) carbs – Whole grains, legumes, and vegetables help maintain energy.
