Wanting to lose weight and feel like herself again, Karen Lay decided to give the weight-loss jabs, Mounjaro, a try. At first, she loved the weight loss, but it wasn’t long before she realised Mounjaro wasn’t the right fit for her.
“Yes I wanted to lose weight, but I also wanted to be normal.”
“I like food. I enjoy going out to eat with my girlfriends. On weight loss injections, all I wanted was a glass of water. I didn’t want to be like that for the rest of my life.”
But what came once Karen stopped injections was nothing short of crazy. After just two weeks, her appetite returned with vengeance, and within just four weeks, Karen had gained 11lbs (5kgs).
“The hunger was uncontrollable. I went to bed thinking about food and woke up thinking about food. My daughter had to stage an intervention.”

Why nutrition matters when you’re on weight loss jabs
When you’re on weight loss jabs, it can be easy to forget about the importance of nutrition. Sustainable weight loss is all about supporting your body with the right balance of nutrients, so you stay strong and energised while losing weight.
A nutritionally complete approach provides:
-
Muscle protection. Plenty of protein helps protect your muscles, making sure you lose more fat and less muscle.
-
Balanced energy. A well-rounded diet provides steady energy, preventing crashes and mood swings.
Vital micronutrients. Iron, calcium, D and B vitamins are essential for metabolic health, stronger bones, and the maintenance of your energy levels.
Life after weight loss injections
As the weight piled on, Karen knew she needed to look externally for support, and it wasn’t long before she’d signed up to The 1:1 Diet with her Consultant, Loren.
“Loren helped me with a lot of coping mechanisms. For example, I travel a lot for work, so I have to plan in advance what I’m going to eat. [...] I’ve also kept a journal, and realised I ate a lot out of boredom, so now I just sip water.”
On top of eating habits, Karen has also committed to three strength-training sessions a week, as well as a long walk.
“I’ve started to see definition in my arms for the first time. I’m full of energy!”

Real support = real results
Since moving away from weight loss injections and embracing habitual changes, Karen has gone on to lose two stone, dropping from a size 18 to a size 12. Not only that, she’s lost a whopping 15% of her body fat and five inches from her waist. All of which she credits The 1:1 Diet and the support of her Consultant, Loren.
