When starting GIP/GLP-1 medications like Mounjaro or Wegovy, you may still feel some hunger, especially if you’ve previously used other weight loss medications. These treatments begin at lower doses to minimize side effects and allow your body time to adjust. As your dosage increases, you’ll likely notice a greater reduction in hunger. The full appetite-suppressing effects typically become more pronounced as you approach or reach the maintenance dose.
To maximize the benefits of GIP/GLP-1 treatments, consider adopting a diet focused on whole, nutrient-dense foods, including unprocessed proteins, healthy fats, and high-fibre carbohydrates. This approach helps stabilize blood sugar levels and complements the medication’s appetite-suppressing effects, making it easier to manage hunger and stay on track with your health goals.
