Or pitfalls!!
I think I've posted on here before about how my low carb weight loss stalled last year and then started reversing. Well, unfortunately despite my best efforts, it has continued to reverse and I have now put three stone back on
Despite still eating a low carb diet and also now calorie counting every day, my weight is still creeping back up gradually and it's soul destroying so I desperately need to reverse this trend before I totally lose ALL the ground I've made and start binge eating again and give up.
I'm going to chat with my own GP tomorrow, just to get some advice and ask what they suggest but my own (limited) research is suggesting Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) is the most effective............and the most expensive!! However my last HbA1c was 37 (February 2025) so I'm not sure if it will be appropriate, as it's primary function is to lower blood sugar, hence why I need to see my GP first.
I was hoping there may be some real life experiences on here that could be shared?
Believe me, I don't see the injection as a 'cure all' and will continue with my low carb diet and keep doing the level of exercise I do now (which is quite a lot). I just need help to switch off that part of my brain / metabolism that converts every single thing I eat to massive weight gain.
