I don't know, but I think it's because the body switches from glycogen (instant energy) to fat. I do feel a little tired sometimes, but less than I have done losing weight before mounjaro. I don't feel tired at all, in fact I'm energised massively, although how much this is from the drug vs feeling good about myself and the natural increase in endorphins (etc) I am not sure about.

Ultimately, food is fuel and so I was trying to work out how people using this aren’t utterly exhausted. I get not being hungry, it’s how you avoid tiredness I haven’t seen much written about.
Is it simply that it removes the cravings for excess and so you can get by eating as much as you SHOULD be eating, while burning away the rest?

Beyond easy actually, it's been enjoyable and quite life changing. A few side effects, I've had to manage acid reflux more, especially the day after each injection, but other than that not much.
It's changed my life and I think it is going to significantly change the world in an extremely positive way in the next 10-20 years. If you have any questions about it let me know. Previous Message
Been thinking about it myself, but interested to see if I can lose a fee lbs without. Previous Message

As prompted by Iain below, are others interested in joining in on a weight loss/fitness challenge, as previously hosted by Rainhill Runaway?
If so, I’ll be happy to monitor progress over the summer offseason.
If I’m remembering correctly, we had a start weight (kg), height (m) to compute BMI. Don’t think we need age, but it’s interesting to know.
First time we did this we also included a baseline of number of pushups and seconds for plank.
For me:
Age 65
Weight: 123.2kg
Height: 1.7m
Push ups: 10
Plank: 34 seconds
If this just clutters up the board, let me know, and I will desist.
