A Mounjaro user who 'loved eating out' has revealed what she eats now to lose weight.
Lucy Davies has been using the weight-loss drug for nearly a year and has almost lost six stone in that time.
The foodie revealed that she has always enjoyed going out to eat, and that she found a way to ensure she hasn't had to curtail that passion.
According to Lucy, who creates TikTok using the handle @insightfullucy, she simply makes sure she chooses dishes that will leave her in a calorie deficit.
Revealing this on TikTok, she said: 'I've always loved eating out...but now...I still eat out...I just make sure I stick to a calorie deficit.
'And... I still get to enjoy food I love and lose weight.'
Pictured alongside her wise words were delicious meals like fish with potatoes and coleslaw, kebabs and grilled meats on a BBQ.
Also shown were sweet potato fries, fried chicken, tuna mayonnaise on a jacket potato and mushrooms on toast - meals she ate while dropping from a size 22 to a size 12.
However, the Brit has revealed that one food has been off the menu since she started using the weight loss jabs.
Lucy told her followers in a separate video that eating white bread has left her bloating at 'another level' and 'wouldn't recommend' it since it has left her feeling so 'uncomfortable and horrible'.
In another post, she wrote: 'Calorie count from the beginning to ensure you eat enough calories for your body to function.'
Daily calorie needs vary widely based on a person's age, sex and lifestyle, ranging from 1,600 to 3,000 calories per day.
But if you're looking to lose weight, a calorie deficit diet can be effective.
This is because when you consume fewer calories than you expend, this forces the body to burn extra calories being stored as fat that keep bodily systems functioning.
Generally, experts recommend cutting calories down to 1,200 to 1,500 for women per day and 1,500 to 1,800 for men per day.
However, everyone's calorie needs are different, so it is important to consult a doctor or nutritionist before starting a new diet plan.
Being mindful of the calories in the meals means she can partake in eating out but while still losing weight
Lucy is one of an estimated 1.5 million people are now using weight loss jabs through the NHS or private clinics, while millions more are eligible.
The National Pharmacy Association (NPA), which represents more than 6,000 independent community pharmacies, says that the current booming demand for the medication, which includes Mounjaro and Wegovy, may become unsustainable.
Their warning came after a recent poll of over 2,000 people showed an increasing demand for private and NHS-backed weight loss services.
