The ‘Natural Mounjaro’ drink is a viral concoction made from water, lemon, honey, and ginger. Fans of the drink claim that it can replicate the effects of Mounjaro (tirzepatide), a prescription weight-loss medication that reduces appetite and improves sugar and fat metabolism. However, experts, including registered dietician Emily Feivor, caution that this drink is unlikely to lead to long-term weight loss.
The drink may temporarily reduce calorie intake if it replaces a heavier meal, but this is not a sustainable weight-loss strategy. Feivor explains that replacing meals with a drink may cause people to overeat later due to nutritional deficiencies. While some of the ingredients, like ginger and lemon, can offer health benefits (e.g., aiding digestion and providing vitamin C), the drink lacks the necessary nutritional balance that a complete meal would provide. Additionally, honey is still a source of sugar and should be consumed in moderation.
Though some viral drinks claim to suppress appetite or burn fat, Feivor emphasizes that these drinks are not nutritionally sound substitutes for proper meals. A healthy, balanced diet with lean proteins, fiber, and healthy fats is key to sustainable weight loss. The drink, like others in the viral trend, is likely a quick fix rather than a long-term solution.
