In one corner, we’ve got Mounjaro, and in the other, Ozempic. They’re both once-a-week injectable drugs designed to help patients with type 2 diabetes manage blood sugar.

As someone who never used to struggle with their weight while younger, I found getting heavier as I aged frustrating. I’m only 5ft tall and in my twenties, thirties and forties, I was only seven and a half stone (48kg).

Research reveals groundbreaking results about Mounjaro and Ozempic in weight loss treatment. Here's what you need to know about these game-changing medications.

Drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro are changing the game for weight loss.  GLP-1 medications were originally intended to treat type 2 diabetes, but a growing number of people are using it for weight loss.

Mounjaro, like other GLP-1 drugs, carries potential side effects, including nausea, vomiting, dehydration, and hypoglycaemia – especially when misused or taken alongside other diabetes treatments like insulin. This raises the likelihood of increased A&E admissions, further straining emergency services.

From science-backed supplements to insurance-covered nutrition therapy, here's your complete guide to effective weight loss when Ozempic isn't an option.
