Mounjaro works. No doubt about it 💉
It drops your appetite so low that you could probably stare at a samosa and feel nothing…
You eat less, you lose weight — simple
But here’s the catch no one talks about…
When you’re eating less, your body isn’t just burning fat — it’s also happy to burn muscle if you’re not using it
And that’s where the long-term problem starts
Less muscle = slower metabolism = easier regain once you stop the medication
Don’t believe me? Speak to someone who’s used in the last year and ask them if they’ve kept it off and feel energetic and healthy
That’s why exercise (especially strength training) isn’t optional — it’s non-negotiable
Lifting weights, doing resistance bands, bodyweight work, anything that signals to your body, “hey, don’t burn this muscle — I still need it.”
Because when Mounjaro is suppressing your hunger, you’re automatically eating fewer calories
The scale drops, yes — but if that drop comes mostly from muscle, you’ll find yourself weaker, softer, and more prone to weight regain later
Muscle is the foundation that keeps your metabolism running strong
It’s what allows you to eat more without gaining fat
It shapes your body, protects your joints, supports your hormones, and keeps the weight off for good
So yes, Mounjaro can be a tool if a doctor qualifies you— but the magic only lasts if you pair it with movement
The injection lowers your appetite
Exercise protects your muscle
Together, they create sustainable fat loss
Otherwise, you’re just making yourself smaller — not better
