Can this viral ‘Natural Mounjaro’ drink help in weight loss? Here’s what to know

Weight loss drugs like

Ozempic and Mounjaro

have helped many progress in their weight loss journey but their hefty price tag and some nasty side effects may discourage some people to continue with them in the long run. No wonder people are fascinated with viral TikTok alternatives that claim to be nearly as effective as the drugs and help curb appetite naturally, aiding in fat loss.
A viral drink is becoming popular as

Natural Mounjaro

which promises to replicate the effects of weight loss medication Mounjaro. This four-ingredient drink can be easily made at home and aids in curbing appetite and improving body’s ability to break down fat and sugar, said the claims online.
Mounjaro is taken by injection in the thigh, stomach or arm. The drug tirzepatide reduces appetite and helps in sugar control and cutting fat.
However, experts are of the view that one must avoid quick-fixes to lose weight, and look at more sustainable ways to shed calories.

How is the viral Mounjaro drink made?

Natural Mounjaro is a concoction made with water, lemon, honey, and ginger as per videos online.

What are its benefits?

A drink made from water, lemon, honey, and ginger is a wonderful and delicious way to improve hydration. It can also improve digestion, and support immune health. While lemon is abundant in vitamin C, ginger has anti-inflammatory properties, reduces bloating, and also improves metabolism apart from aiding satiation. Honey adds a natural sweetness to the drink. It is also known for boosting metabolism and promoting digestive health.

It isn’t a complete meal

While the beverage has a range of benefits, it cannot be a replacement for a balanced meal. An ideal plate that supports weight loss is the one which has plenty of lean sources of protein, fibre like fruit or vegetable, and a healthy fat. It can be a part of the meal, but not the only thing you consume.

Honey can raise blood sugar

Honey is a natural source of sugar and has some benefits but it should be used in moderation to balance blood sugar levels. Having this drink in excess can be troublesome for people with diabetes.
Other viral drinks claiming to be natural alternatives to weight loss drugs

Oatzempic

Oatzempic is all the rage in the world of internet and its recipe is simple. It is made with oats, water, and lime juice that claims to help with weight loss. However, just like natural Mounjaro, this drink isn’t replacement of your regular meal.

Tadpole water

Tadpole water

is made by mixing chia seeds, lemon juice, and warm water. The drink gets its name from the appearance of the chia seeds in the water, which resemble tadpoles swimming in a pond.
In all, while these

weight loss drinks

can be a wonderful way to hydrate yourself and add more fibre and antioxidants to your diet, it can’t be a replacement for a complete meal. Also, they can support your weight loss journey, but can’t be solely relied on. Eat a balanced diet with protein, fibre, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals to achieve sustainable weight loss.
