I took my second Mounjaro injection of 10mg the other day - but I have to say in the last week I have had some sugar/carb craving. My weight went UP! 93.6kg 😞 This dispels some myths about Mounjaro - for me anyway... I've seen others online mention similar experiences, so I know I'm not alone in this.

I hear some describe all food as 'grey' and 'bland', but I do NOT find this myself. Food still tastes as great as ever - you just don't want to eat as much. The problem with this can be that if you eat something like a cake, it fills you much more than it would have, and you will end up eating less nutritious food later.

I still have to make the effort to make changes to my diet permanent, making wiser food choices and keeping portion size down. Up until this week I've found it much easier to do this, so I'm not sure why I have struggled more in the last week.

I've entered my weight on the Numan app, which I find helpful for following how I'm doing. I may contact them via the app and see what they say about my weight gain this month, but I'm not giving up - just need to stop making unwise choices. If I start my day with a main meal, I find I eat less for dinner later and snack less.

What are your thoughts on this? Have you had similar ups and downs on your journey?
