Does it target belly fat

Hi all, I’ve made my mind up now and I’ll be ordering my first dose of mj. I run 3 times a week and try to reduce my portion sizes but sometimes end up snacking again so it’s taken me a year to go down from a bmi of 34 to 33. I’m already despairing so I need this to help the process. However, most of my fat is around my belly. My waist to hip ratio is off the charts and I just want to hope that mj will help with this and hopefully I can wear dresses again without being so self conscious

No

Nothing targets belly fat! But I'm sure it will help you achieve a normal BMI

As far as I understand, you can’t target fat loss to any particular area (with Mounjaro, or anything else). It can help you loose fat, but will likely come off all over.

My belly is the last thing that appears to be shrinking.
After losing 3 stones I can see changes in my boobs, bottom & thighs but my belly hasn't really changed much yet.

I've lost 3.5st almost but I'm still very much an apple shape. I have 1.5st to go and it could all do with coming from my middle.

Thanks for your responses. I find that nothing really targets the belly area. The weight will be a bonus anyway so I’ll still give this a go

I don’t think any weight loss tool targets one specific area. Probably once you start losing you would need to do sit ups and exercise designed to tone the belly area? Have you started MJ yet? I’ve a discount code if you’d like it?

Nothing will specifically target belly fat sadly. That said I’ve been on Mounjaro for 3+ months, lost 2 stone and 5inches off my waist. My waist to hip and waist to height ratios are now officially healthy

I'm on my third month of mounjaro and in spite of regular gym classes targeting core, abs and cardio, my belly fat is the last remaining bit of bulge. I'm very disappointed at the new wrinkles on my slimmed down face and arms, but hoping the skin will settle down and recover over the next six months. Even my thighs are reducing before my belly and I used to have a flat stomach before I got fat!
