Mountjaro - Not just an appetite suppressant

A question for other users. Mountjaro is fantastic - I have no side effects, just excellent appetite suppression and I am steadily losing weight. I am working out and eating healthily for the main part. I am also finding my concentration far better.

In terms of weight loss though, I am convinced that it is not just the eating less that has caused it as so many people say. I have lost weight before without it , eating the same amount as now, and it came off way more slowly, often stalling.

Have others found this?

I think a lot of people overeat just slightly without realising it TBH.

Dont know much about it but im sure it does something other than suppress appetite because they use it in diabetic treatment aswell so something to do with sugars?

No, I'm definitely eating less, it's not melting the fat away.

It reminds me more of losing weight when I was younger, 20 years ago. I'd put a bit on in my training contract and was towards the top end of the BMI range instead of the middle/bottom. I did WW online and gave myself six months to lose a stone and a half and did in three months and kept it off afterwards as well.

Then after I had kids, I thought it would be easy again to.lose pregnancy weight bit I'd totally lost the ability to control my weight like that.

I've just lost 21lbs in three months, definitely the only other time I've done that in my life. The difference is now I'm just trying to hit BMI 24 then see how I feel.

No, it doesn't suppress my appetite and the weight feels like it's coming off slower than it would without it. However, I eat less on the drug because it physically pretty much stops my digestion so overeating has very real, very rapid and extremely uncomfortable physical consequences. In an ideal world I'd eat less without that, but that's not how it's going for me.
