But in a recent message she revealed that she had to stop the medication temporarily while waiting for a new injectorgen – and the effect was immediately.
The clip, which has been viewed almost a million times and has collected more than 20,000 likes, shows Freya Vrolijk a stacked cheeseburger. “Take this as a sign to never go cold turkey from Mounjaro,” she wrote.
“I would have done very sinister things for this hamburger. My hunger is out of hand – I want everyone who is not a food in the face. ‘
In the comments she explained: ‘Having problems obtaining my next dosage, which is the only reason that I am now cold turkey.
It is not out of choice – I think that drastically falling is much too risky for weight gain. “She also confirmed that she had had a ‘high dose’.
The post led to hundreds of reactions from fellow users from Mounjaro and similar weight loss degrees, many of whom their own experiences with the return of ‘food noise’ shared constant, intrusive hunger signals The medicine is known to suppress it.
‘Food Noise’ is the term used to describe the near-constant stream of thoughts about food that struggle some people to switch off to the desire for high-calorie, low foods and episodes of Bingeing.
And based on the comments about Freya’s Viral Post, many of her 12,000 followers know exactly how that feels.
One wrote: ‘I won three stone in six months after I stopped. Went to Turkey, the [gastric] balloon.’

However, others pointed that medicines such as Mounjaro are not intended as permanent solutions, but tools to help users develop healthier long -term habits.
One follower shared an inspiring account: ‘I was absolutely starving when I got it.
‘I took so much willpower for a few weeks, but now I eat just as I was when I was on it.
Freya has posted about losing four stone since revising her health
‘Lost three stone with Mounjaro and two more since stopping. You just have to continue until hunger passes. ‘
Another said: ‘I spent three days away with it and I certainly eat more. But this is where Willpower comes in. I will never be the 26 stone I was last year. ‘
Doctors advise that everyone is planning to stop Mounjaro – or because they have achieved their target weight or for other reasons – should gradually do this.
Slowly reducing, under medical supervision, can help minimize the withdrawal effects and reduce the risk of rebound -weight increase.
Professor Giles Yeo, a geneticist at Cambridge University and an expert in obesity and the control of the brain about food intake and body weight, previously explained the science behind food noise to the Daily Mail.
He said: ‘Food noise is a manifestation of appetite and appetite is rather complex. I like to conceptualize it as a triangle.
‘The appetite is in the middle and the three points are: hunger, fullness and reward. All three talk to each other but use different parts of the brain. If you pull points on that triangle, you will change shape.
‘If you are really hungry, then the simplest foods – intended, rice, cheese – will taste delicious and sufficient to activate the reward element in the brain.
‘But if you are really full, the food must have a seriously high reward element to want it, and that will be something sugary or fat.
“This is a phenomenon known as the” dessert stomach. “
