Weight Management FAQs

 

How can I lose weight fast?

Because there’s no “one-size-fits-all” solution to weight loss, the fastest and most effective way for you to lose weight will vary from person to person. Since we often respond differently to different foods, what works for someone else may not work for you. Some people find success counting calories, while others lose weight by cutting down on sugar and refined carbs. Others focus on controlling emotional eating, practicing mindful eating, or following a diet based on vegetables and healthy fats, such as the Mediterranean diet. Pairing dietary changes with more physical activity can also work. Be prepared to try different approaches until you find the strategy that works best for you—a diet and exercise plan that you can live with.

Does Mounjaro work for weight loss?

Mounjaro, the brand name for tirzepatide, is a drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to reduce blood sugar in adults with type-2 diabetes. Studies have shown that Mounjara, in conjunction with diet and exercise, can also lead to weight loss. While the drug is not FDA-approved for weight loss alone, a doctor may prescribe it off-label for that purpose.
