Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and Wegovy (semaglutide) are two breakthrough weight loss injections used by many in the UK to manage obesity and support significant weight reduction. These medications function by mimicking GLP-1, a hormone that regulates appetite and satiety, helping users feel fuller for longer.
However, taking these medications alone is not a magic bullet. The foods you choose to eat while on Mounjaro or Wegovy can significantly impact your results. To maximise their effectiveness, it’s essential to pair these treatments with a well-rounded, nutrient-rich diet.
If you’re considering starting these treatments, check out our Get Started page for more information on your options. You can also learn about our approach on the Our Mission page.
Eating nutrient-dense foods can help you maintain energy levels while losing weight. Incorporating lean proteins, whole grains, vegetables, and healthy fats not only supports satiety but also helps maintain muscle mass and stabilise blood sugar levels.
Both Mounjaro and Wegovy reduce hunger signals, making it easier to consume fewer calories. However, it’s still crucial to manage your caloric intake. Experts recommend reducing daily calorie consumption by approximately 500–600 calories for sustainable weight loss while maintaining adequate nutrition.
Hydration is critical, especially when on GLP-1 medications, as they can sometimes cause gastrointestinal issues like constipation. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water daily to stay hydrated and support digestion.
Low-glycemic foods, such as non-starchy vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, help maintain stable blood sugar levels. This stability is essential for those on Mounjaro or Wegovy, as fluctuating glucose can trigger cravings.
Certain foods may worsen side effects, including nausea or bloating. Try to avoid:
– High-fat or fried foods
– Sugary snacks or beverages
– Carbonated drinks
– Highly processed items

For those on vegetarian or vegan diets, focus on plant-based proteins like lentils, chickpeas, tofu, and quinoa. Pair these with fiber-rich vegetables to maintain fullness.
