1500 Kcal per day may be too much for some individuals, especially those who wish to lose weight or those who are already taking less than 1500 Kcal per day.
For such individuals, simply taking half the dinner mentioned above can reduce their daily calorie intake to around 1250 kcal per day.
To further restrict your diet, you can skip one of the two snacks mentioned, or take half of the lunch or the breakfast.
This way, you can reduce your daily calorie intake to 800 – 1000 kcal per day, which is considered a restrictive diet, and help you lose weight faster with Mounjaro and Ozempic.
Conclusion:
Dietary modifications along with your treatment regimen can help you lose more weight and achieve your glycemic targets easily.
However, this is a general meal plan that does not consider an individual’s specific needs. As a result, you must consult a registered dietitian or your healthcare provider for a proper meal plan based on your weight, age, and associated complications.
