At Manchester Weight Loss Clinic, we understand that losing weight can be challenging, especially when diet and exercise alone don’t deliver the desired results. That’s why we’re committed to providing the latest, clinically proven solutions to help you achieve your health and wellness goals. One of the most talked-about treatments in weight management right now is Mounjaro — an innovative medication that has shown impressive results in helping people lose weight and improve their overall health.
But how does Mounjaro actually work for weight loss? In this guide, we’ll explain everything you need to know about the treatment, from how it works in the body to what you can expect during your weight loss journey.
What Is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro is the brand name for tirzepatide, a prescription medication originally developed to help manage type 2 diabetes. However, during clinical studies, researchers discovered a significant benefit: many patients taking Mounjaro also experienced substantial weight loss. This led to its growing popularity as an effective weight management treatment.
At Manchester Weight Loss Clinic, we offer Mounjaro as part of a tailored weight loss programme, helping patients who are struggling with obesity or who have health risks associated with excess weight.
How Mounjaro Works in the Body
Mounjaro is a once-weekly injection that targets two important hormones in your body:
-
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1)
-
GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide)
These hormones play a key role in regulating your appetite, digestion, and blood sugar levels. By mimicking their natural effects, Mounjaro helps your body in several ways that contribute to weight loss:
-
Appetite Suppression - Mounjaro affects the areas of your brain that control hunger, helping you feel fuller for longer and naturally reducing your calorie intake.
-
Slower Digestion - It delays the emptying of your stomach, which means food stays in your system for longer, helping you feel satisfied after smaller meals.
-
Better Blood Sugar Control - By improving the way your body handles glucose, Mounjaro helps reduce cravings and stabilises energy levels throughout the day.
This combination of effects makes Mounjaro unique compared to other weight loss medications, as it tackles multiple pathways that influence both appetite and metabolism.
How Effective Is Mounjaro for Weight Loss?
Clinical trials have shown that Mounjaro can lead to significant weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise. In some studies, patients taking Mounjaro lost an average of 15% to 20% of their body weight over time, making it one of the most effective weight management treatments currently available.
However, it’s important to remember that Mounjaro is not a magic solution. For the best results, it should be used as part of a structured, supervised programme that includes nutritional guidance, lifestyle changes, and ongoing support — all of which we provide at Manchester Weight Loss Clinic.
Who Can Benefit from Mounjaro?
Mounjaro may be suitable for you if:
-
You have a BMI of 30 or higher (classified as obese).
-
You have a BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.
-
You've struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone.
Before starting treatment, our team will carry out a full assessment to ensure Mounjaro is safe and appropriate for your individual needs.
