Mounjaro for weight loss: FAQs

Summary: Mounjaro is a weekly injection that helps with weight loss by acting like two natural hormones in your body. It slows down your digestion and stops cravings, turning off what people call "food noise." In studies, people lost up to 21% of their body weight.

You start on a small dose so your stomach gets used to it without making you feel sick. It is not a magic fix, though. It works best when you eat healthy foods and build good habits. If you stop taking it, the cravings can come back, so a healthy lifestyle is important for keeping the weight off.
