Diet rules helped my weight loss after injections stopped working

A 37-year-old woman who used the GLP-1 medication Mounjaro said she hit a weight-loss plateau, then adopted a meat-focused, one-meal-a-day routine and reported losing about 35kg over several months.

Louise Peachman, a 37-year-old mother of four from New South Wales, had long struggled with her weight and reached about 101.5kg after consecutive pregnancies. In late 2023 she began treatment with the GLP-1 medication Mounjaro and experienced initial weight loss once her doctor adjusted the dose. When that loss stalled, she changed to a carnivore-style eating pattern with one main meat-based meal each evening and later reported further weight reduction to around 66.5kg. Key facts: - She tried many diets over several years without lasting results before starting Mounjaro. - On the lowest prescribed dose she reported gaining weight; after a higher dose she lost about 12kg in four months. - After a plateau, she said she followed a carnivore-style approach five days a week with one main evening meal and relaxed the plan two days a week. - She reported a total weight loss of roughly 35kg by November and now described using a monthly Mounjaro injection as a booster. Summary: Her combination of a higher-prescribed GLP-1 dose and a restrictive, meat-focused eating pattern coincided with a reported large reduction in weight and improvements in daily mobility and clothing fit. The article describes her current routine and reported status; longer-term outcomes and medical evaluation beyond her account are undetermined at this time.
