What I Eat in a Day on Mounjaro for Weight Loss (6 Weeks In!)
Our summary
The creator of the Edinburgh & Beyond channel records week six of taking Mounjaro for weight loss. He says viewers asked him to show what he eats, so he walks through items he buys: fruit such as bananas and grapes, chicken skewers from Aldi, Lidl or Morrisons, stir fries, rice, lasagna once a week, and a pork sausage if he is hungry at night. He also mentions Morrisons or Lidl protein shakes, which he describes as okay, and says he would like to test better ones. He says he has been told to cut back on pasta and potatoes.

What else the video covers
He demonstrates mixing a sugar alternative called Sukrin into Greek yogurt to make a chocolate yogurt, which he says is his favorite snack or pudding. He also shows vitamins and supplements that his partner gives him for toilet issues, saying he does not know much about them. According to him, Mounjaro slows digestion, which keeps him feeling full.
He says he went to Blackpool for a night, drank five or six beers with water in between, and ate a Big Mac meal. His weight went from 20 stone 9.2 last week to 20 stone 7.2, a loss of two pounds. He says this shows people can still socialise on the medication. He has reset his target to 17 stone, which he hopes to reach by May. He also says he is planning a two week trip to Mexico, and that the pharmacy he buys from will help with paperwork for flying with his injection pen. The final minutes cover channel thanks and upcoming videos.

- 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%.
- The best GLP-1 for weight loss, ranked by the evidence and then by the bill
By weight lost, the order is settled: tirzepatide (Zepbound) first at 20.2% in the only head-to-head, then semaglutide 7.2 mg (Wegovy HD) at 18.7%, then semaglutide 2.4 mg (Wegovy) at 13.7% to 15.6%, then the pills. By what you pay, the order nearly inverts: compounded semaglutide from $69 a month, the Wegovy tablet from $149, Wegovy pen $349, Zepbound $299 to $699 by dose. The best one is where those two lists meet for your budget and your plan.
- 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.
