Diabetes-turned-weight loss drug Mounjaro helped patients shed pounds nearly twice as fast as its ultra-popular counterpart Ozempic, according to a study released Monday.
The extensive study of more than 18,000 overweight or obese people found that those taking once-weekly injections of Eli Lilly’s Mounjaro were able to melt off 15.2% of their weight — compared to 7.9% for those on Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic.

A decrease in blood sugar levels can affect not only individuals with diabetes. If you go without food, skip meals, particularly breakfast, you run the risk of your blood sugar dropping at least once during the day. People who often want to lose weight have problems with hypoglycemia precisely for the previously mentioned reasons.

According to a private video on Golo’s YouTube channel, you should organize your meals in suggested serving ratios.
https://www.everydayhealth.com/diet-nutrition/golo-diet/
Breakfast 1 fat, 2 proteins, 2 carbohydrates, 1 vegetable
Lunch 1 fat, 2 proteins, 1 carbohydrate, 2 vegetables
Dinner 1 fat, 1 protein, 1 carbohydrate, 2 vegetables
One overarching idea is to spend one to two hours per week on meal prep. You can then prepackage containers with foods in their correct ratios and grab and go throughout the week. Doing it this way means you’ll likely repeat meals and foods throughout the week.

Breakfast 2 hard-boiled eggs, overnight oats made with zucchini, chia seeds, and coconut flakes
Lunch Chicken, salad greens, sweet potatoes, and coconut oil
Snack Celery sticks
Dinner Chicken, broccoli cooked in coconut oil, sweet potatoes
