Any great (free) Apps or websites to recommend for a new starter?

I've just ordered my first Mounjaro pen (from Pharmacy2U) and I'm not quite sure where to start! I could do with advice on what to eat, what my weight loss goals should be, tracking everything... are there any great Apps that I don't have to pay for?

I'm also particularly worried about knowing which foods to avoid to minimise side effects - is this different for everyone or is there some official advice?

I have this nagging feeling of 'you don't know what you don't know' - is there any magical repository of everything you need to know when starting MJ?

Any tips for a new starter very welcome!

(in case it's relevant, my GP is the one who told me to start the injections - I'm 19 stone and eligible under the nhs, but the wait would be very long).

There’s general info on the Pharmacy2u website and on other supplier’s websites about diet and managing side effects. They will also likely send you more information via email when you’ve got your pen delivered.

For tracking, you can use the free version of MyFitnessPal, there’s Shotsy which is for tracking each injection and estimating the level of medication in your system.

In terms of goals, I’d start with looking to lose 10% of your starting weight which for you is about 26 pounds. You could achieve that in around 13 to 26 weeks, assuming a loss of 1 to 2 pounds per week on average.

Mounjaro slows your digestion, so some people experience gastric side effects if they eat things that don’t sit well for that slower digestion. So things that are hard to digest, or sugary carby high fat things.
