Mounjaro Week 1 Recap
Week 1 is down - what did we achieve so far? Did I manage to reach my desired -5kg first week weight loss and how did diet go? Read more!
The premise
After careful consideration and all the planning and stuff I outlined in my first post (read it here) I decided that -5kg would be a desirable and doable goal for week one.
The initial metrics
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Age | 47 years |
| Gender | male |
| Location | Spain |
| Occupation | Entrepreneur / CEO |
| Current activity level | sedentary |
| Starting weight | 122 kg |
| Height | 180 cm |
| Goal weight | ~88 kg |
| Intended duration | 1 year from 19th of June 2026 |
Week 1 progress
After taking the first jab on 19th of June 2026 without any immediate side effects (which I was pretty weary about to be honest), I started into my week. I put a strong focus on the following:
- reducing carbs and sugar
- upping my protein intake
- staying very hydrated (Spain is an oven right now 😉)
- eating small portions spread out over the day instead of bug meals
- stay within 1,500-1,700 cals every day (Macros app says with 20% calorie restriction I would land at 2,000 cals roughly but I wanted to stay well below without undereating)
- do moderate amount of walking every other day
Throughout the week I never had any grave hunger attacks or was thinking about eating too much and only ate when I was feeling hungry. I ate a lot of “high protein” products (e.g. protein pudding, protein drinks, chicken fillet) and cut back on carbohydrates like break or pasta heavily.
(One of my staples was my self-devised meal prep recipe with quinoa, lean beef and veggies, recipe will follow soon)
The weigh-in
On my jab day (which is Friday) I took my measurements and weight in the morning and what can I say? -4kg down and -4cm waist reduction! 🎉
A kilogram short of my goal reduction but I’m happy and motivated to push on and I count this as an important first win in my book. Onwards with week 2, took my jab (again without any noticeable side effects) on Friday at noon.
