What else the video covers
She goes through the weeks in order. After week one she says the food noise had mostly gone, with a small return at the end of the week, and she tracked her food with the Lose It app and started biking. She calls the week one weigh-in surprisingly dramatic, though she does not give the number. In week two she reports stomach problems that she links to a spicy plant-based sausage dog, with frequent restroom trips over about two days. At the week three weigh-in she says she lost 3.3 lbs, even though stomach trouble kept her from biking for several days. In week four she was sick with a lost voice, focused on water and soup, and did not record.
At the end she says the food noise feels completely gone and that fast food commercials no longer look appealing to her. She says she has already moved up to 5 mg and will cover that in a separate video. She also explains that she hesitated to post this because sharing online invites criticism.

Our guides closest to what this video covers, with prices checked weekly.
- Mounjaro dosage chart: the label's schedule, every pen and vial, and what each dose costs
Mounjaro starts at 2.5 mg injected once a week. If more blood sugar control is needed, the dose goes up in 2.5 mg steps after at least four weeks on the current dose, to a maximum of 15 mg a week for adults and 10 mg for children 10 and older. Lilly sells every strength self-pay starting at $499 a month, so on the brand the price does not climb with the dose.
- Mounjaro side effects: the label's numbers by dose, the low blood sugar risk, and how tirzepatide compares at weight-loss doses
On Mounjaro's own label, the common side effects are stomach ones and they rise with the dose: nausea in 12, 15 and 18 percent of people at 5, 10 and 15 mg against 4 percent on placebo, diarrhea 12 to 17 against 9, and any gastrointestinal reaction in 37 to 44 percent against 20. Most of it happens while the dose is being raised and fades. Low blood sugar is rare on Mounjaro alone and is mainly a risk when it is added to insulin or a sulfonylurea. Below: the full table, the rare warnings, and why Zepbound's numbers for the same molecule look higher.
- Mounjaro for weight loss, and why Zepbound exists
Mounjaro is tirzepatide approved for type 2 diabetes. Zepbound is the same molecule from the same maker, approved for weight management, and it goes to the same 15 mg. So unlike Ozempic and Wegovy, there is no dose ceiling pushing you from one to the other: the reason people move is coverage and cash price, not strength. Using Mounjaro for weight is off-label and a prescriber's decision. In the one head-to-head trial, tirzepatide beat semaglutide, 20.2% mean body-weight loss at 72 weeks against 13.7%.
