[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am on Mounjaro and post-menopausal and now realize I can only eat 1200 calories if I want to lose weight (I am 5’8” starting weight of 211). I don’t drink alcohol or eat processed foods, but no way have I ever eaten that little. No wonder I’m overweight.[/quote]

I've been on Ozempic for 7 weeks, and am losing weight very slowly.  I'm starting to realize the same -- despite my daily workouts, I just can't eat that much if I want to be in a deficit.  The drug has decreased my appetite.  But I was eating 2300 calories a day.  I've since cut that to about 1700.  But only losing .25 lbs a week.  So taking another cut to 1400 to see if that works, and then lower if necessary.  But it's been eye opening.

The difference now with the drug is I don't have the constant "Is it time for a snack?" voice in my head.  But I still have to count macros and calories.  Macros are especially important because I want to minimize the amount of muscle that I lose, so my diet now is pretty high protein, low carb, moderate fat.[/quote]
