Has anyone lost weight on Mounjaro without changing what they eat?

Has anybody not done a specific diet / ate the same foods as usual and lost on mounjaro?

I ask because I have a very close friend who has lost 4 stone, she said she hasn’t changed her diet or the foods she eats at all, mounjaro has just helped with suppressing her appetite and portion control. But she’s still eating the same foods, just less of it, not particularly healthy or counting calories.

Has this been anyone else’s experiences?

Yeah, I’ve lost about 3.5 stones without calorie counting or changing the type of food I eat.
I just eat less of it. My diet was always pretty good though, reasonably balanced, and varied. I just ate too much. Now, thanks to the jabs, it’s a whole lot easier to eat a lot less.

Exactly the same eat well anyway just too much list 4 stone in 13 months

I also ate the same meals, just less of them, less fat in cooking etc, stopped all snacking, but I do eat a lot of fruit. I don’t calorie count, but I am able to tot it up in my head and have a rough idea, I knew I was eating about 1400 cals, I was in a deliberate diet from the moment of the first injection. But no I was not weighing and counting as such. Our evening meals stayed the same, as I have a family to think of. Our meals are healthy though so no need to change them.

I’m so envious of you all.
I count & track every morsel, eat healthy and reduced volume yet struggle to shift anything on MJ.
For the last 2 weeks I’ve deficit of around 500 cals per day and put 2lbs ON.
Utterly utterly soul destroying.

Are you in the UK and experiencing the heatwave? I always hold water on really hot days

🤣🤣 thank you but I can go 8 weeks on MJ, tracking, weighing, reduced portions, clean eating, cook from scratch, zero alcohol, 3 litres of water, no UP foods and loose zero or gain 3/4lbs.
I just don’t respond to it like so many others.
I wont work for everyone.

Do you not get appetite suppression?

Yep, and raging nausea, headaches and feel shit.
So, can’t increase the dose.

She has changed her portions so she has changed what she eats.

I am much the same. I didn’t eat bad food just too much of it.

HappyWineDay · 26/06/2026 07:44

I completely changed my diet. I’ve cut out the carbs, specifically bread, rice, pasta potato but never counted calories.
For me, I want to change to a much healthier diet so that when I eventually stop the injections, I will have a better chance of maintaining. If I was still eating crap then stopped the WLIs, then I’d continue eating the crap, the portions would go up, and the weight would come back on.
