        I Lost 22 Pounds in a Week on Egg Diet
    

        I Lost 15 Pounds in 30 Days by Following 3 Simple Steps
    
Eggs are delicious, nourishing, and versatile—and Dr. Eric Berg, DC, is a massive fan of these little superfoods. What makes eggs so unique? Aside from being relatively affordable, they are whole foods that are full of crucial nutrients for health, wellness, and fitness. “So what would happen if you just relied on eggs as your only source of protein? You would actually do much better health-wise. And that's what I want to get into in this video,” he says. Here’s what would happen if you switched to getting all your protein from eggs for 30 days.
Quality ProteinEggs are a whole food and packed with nutrients. “The egg is the highest quality source of protein other than breast milk,” Dr. Berg says. “It has virtually every nutrient that you need, and its amino acid profile is complete. The nutrients and amino acids are very bioavailable. The waste product from eggs is so minimal because you're utilizing all this great protein. So eggs are number one, meat is number two, dairy is three, and plant-based protein is low on the list.”
Protein BenefitsShutterstock
Protein impacts much more than muscle building and satiety. “Sometimes people think about proteins as just muscle, but you have all the enzymes in your body,” Dr. Berg says. “The different metabolic pathways are all proteins. A good portion of your skin is protein. A good portion of your bone is protein. Your immune system is proteins. So when we're trying to replenish or repair proteins, we need sufficient proteins in a bioavailable source that our body can really use efficiently.”
Bioavailable ProteinShutterstock
Dr. Berg says eggs are at the top of the list for bioavailable proteins. “One egg will give you seven grams of protein and virtually every single nutrient. It may not give you all the vitamin C, but it will give you the B vitamins, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K one, and K two, omega-3 fatty acids… So this is packed full of nutrients.”

CholineShutterstock
Whole eggs are one of the best sources of choline. “Choline, which is a really important nutrient that can help prevent a fatty liver,” says Dr. Berg. “In fact, if you're deficient in choline, you will get a fatty liver. But choline is also necessary for a healthy brain, and choline is a really good antidote to high cholesterol.”
Eggs For Eye HealthShutterstock
Eggs are very good for eye health. “Lutein and zeaxanthin, these are two compounds that greatly support the macula of the eye,” Dr. Berg says. “There's a thing called age-related macular degeneration. And these two compounds can help prevent that condition. Then, we have something called phospholipids. What's that? It's a combination of lipids and phosphorus, which is a great anti-inflammatory. It's very important in building your cell membranes.”
Eat the Whole EggShutterstock
If you want to build muscle, eat the whole yolk, Dr. Berg says. “People have been confused about the egg whites and the yolk. They think that all the protein is in the egg whites, but did you realize that if we compare per hundred grams of the yolk versus the white, the yolk has 16.4 grams of protein per hundred grams, and the white only has 10.8 grams of protein per hundred grams. So, per weight, the yolk has more protein. Not to mention, it has so many other things that are essential for repair and even preventing something called sarcopenia, which is an age-related muscle loss condition.”

Cook Your EggsShutterstock
Dr. Berg says to be mindful of raw egg consumption. “The problem with raw eggs—and I'm not against it in certain amounts—but raw eggs have a protease inhibitor. That means that the enzyme that helps break down protein is inhibited. So you may not get the full benefit of that egg white. Not to mention you may develop a biotin deficiency if you have a large amount. And so this compound is kind of nullified when you heat the egg when you cook the egg.”
Take It Over-EasyShutterstock
Dr. Berg loves a runny yolk. “The best form of an egg I would recommend is something like an over-easy egg where the egg yolk is runny, but you're cooking the white part,” he says. “But even if you scramble your egg, or you hard boil your egg, you're still gaining a lot of benefits. So I don't want to get too far in the woods with the cooking methods of an egg, but I will say that at this point, realize that eggs, in general, are super, super healthy, especially if you wanna get a high-quality source of amino acids.”
Mix it UpShutterstock
Try different recipes to avoid getting bored with eggs. “The only drawback I see that it has is nothing related to health,” Dr. Berg says. “It has to do with maybe boredom and making your foods more interesting by adding different protein sources. But if you were to just to consume eggs as your primary protein source, you would not only increase your health, but you would probably increase your digestion as well because eggs seem to be very easily digested for most people unless you have an allergy.”

The official guidelines on eggs have changed over the years. "The urban myth out there is that eggs are bad for your heart. It's not a total myth, but we've known that guidelines for healthy eating took out previous advice to limit dietary cholesterol because it really didn't make a big difference in overall cholesterol. The cholesterol is in the egg yolk," Dr. James O'Keefe, Professor of Medicine at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and cardiologist at Saint Luke's Mid-America Heart Institute, tells ABC News. "As we get older, we need higher amounts of protein to maintain muscle mass. Muscle mass and physical strength are two predictors of healthy aging. It's important to maintain and build muscle mass in middle age and beyond. Eggs are an inexpensive, widely available source of protein.” Always talk to your doctor before starting any new diet regimen!

Eggs are one of the most versatile, accessible foods. However, there is often debate about how many you should eat in a day. Janine Bowring, ND (@j9naturally), is a naturopath doctor and social media influencer who offers health and wellness advice to her nearly 1 million TikTok followers. In a recent post, she discussed the health benefits of eating eggs. “What would happen if you ate four eggs per day?” she says in the clip. Body Network’s Resident RDN, The Diet Diva Tara Collingwood, also weighs in.
Eggs Are High in Protein That Is Highly AbsorbableShutterstock
“Well, we know that eggs are high in protein and have a high biological value of 94, meaning it's highly absorbed, utilized in the body, in the type of protein that it is,” says Dr. Bowring. “Now, four eggs will give you 24 grams of protein, 20 grams of fat and selenium at 112% of your daily needs.”
Why Protein Is ImportantShutterstock
Why is protein important? According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW), but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.
Another benefit of eggs? According to Dr. Bowring, they are “great for your thyroid health,” she says in the clip.
They Also Give You EnergyShutterstock
Something else you get from eggs? They are high in vitamin B2. This is beneficial for your energy levels “at 80 percent of your daily needs,” she says.
They Are High in Vitamin A, Great for Eye HealthShutterstock
Another vitamin that eggs are packed with? Vitamin A, says Dr. Bowring, is “fantastic for eye health, but also helping to lubricate your eyes to maintain that moisture in your eyes at 32 percent of your daily needs for that vitamin A.”
They Are Satiating“And we know because of all that protein and eggs, it's very satiating and helps to keep you feeling full,” says Bowring. “It helps with weight loss.”
They Can Also Help You Build MuscleShutterstock
Because of the protein, eggs are great fuel for your workout. This leads to “gain of muscle as well,” she says.
Eggs Are Budget FriendlyA huge bonus when it comes to eggs? “Eggs are budget-friendly for most people,” she points out.
Advice: Stick to Pasture Raised EggsShutterstock
Not all eggs at the grocery store are created equal. “Always look for a pasture-raised egg, and if you've got your own chickens, a little better,” recommends Bowring.
Body Network’s Expert Weighs In“I completely agree that eggs are very high-quality protein and are packed in vitamins and minerals. However, the saturated fat content and to a smaller extent, the dietary cholesterol content have caused the American Heart Association and other leading health organizations to recommend one egg (yolk) per day on average,” says Body Network’s Resident RDN, Tara Collingwood, MS, RDN, CSSD, LD/N, ACSM-CPT, a Board Certified Sports Dietitian and co-author of the Flat Belly Cookbook for Dummies. “You can likely go a bit above this, but 4 per day every day would not be recommended for heart health.” Another option? Use a single yolk and the egg whites of the other three.
💪🔥Body Booster: Eating four eggs a day can provide 80 percent of your daily vitamin B2 needs, which is beneficial for your energy levels.

Ever wondered what would happen if you ate bacon, eggs, and butter every day? Most of us have been warned about the dangers of saturated fat, but what does the science actually show? Dr. Sten Ekberg, a former Olympic decathlete turned holistic health doctor, decided to find out through a controlled experiment. His unique combination of athletic achievement and medical expertise offers valuable insights for anyone interested in understanding how different diets affect our health. Read on to discover the surprising results of his 30-day high-fat diet experiment.
Why This Doctor Took a Risk With His Health

"So I decided for 30 days I was going to do a ketogenic diet. Some people might be able to do more or less, but it's net carbs that I'm referring to, which means you take the total carbs and subtract the fiber because fiber does not contribute to blood glucose or does not trigger insulin," explains Dr. Ekberg. "Then, you also eat a moderate amount of protein. You don't want to overload your body with protein because that creates a lot of nitrogen waste, and then the rest of it will come from fat. So relative to most diets and the mainstream view of things, this is going to be a very high fat diet, but it doesn't mean more fat is better," he adds.

What Science Says About Healthy Fats

According to UCLA Health expertsDr. Elizabeth Ko and Dr. Eve Glazier, "A robust body of research has revealed the wide-ranging benefits of including healthy fats in the diet. These include lowering the risk of developing heart disease, improving blood cholesterol levels, helping with blood sugar control and reducing inflammation."
Understanding Different Types of Fats
Shutterstock
UCLA Health explains: "Fats are a type of lipid, which are molecules that do not dissolve in water. When someone talks about healthy fats, they're referring to lipids that, due to the specific types of chemical bonds that hold them together, remain liquid at room temperature."

He Ate One Meal a Day

"When you do a low-carb diet, you're going to get even better results if you combine it with intermittent fasting. I ate one meal a day or two meals a day over 30 days; I got anywhere from 16 to 24 hours of fasting, which means for that time period, I didn't eat any food. And when you don't eat food, that allows your insulin to drop and allows your body to burn fat because you're not putting anything new in," Dr. Ekberg says. "But even more important than just losing weight, we want to understand what's happening in the body metabolically, inflammation-wise, and disease-wise. We are moving toward degenerative disease because weight is not really that clear a marker, but with blood work, we can figure this out," he adds.
Sources of Healthy Fats You Can Try
Shutterstock
UCLA Health recommends: "Healthy fats are found in plant-based foods such as walnuts, flax seeds, chia seeds, soybeans, avocados and olives... And don't forget about fatty fish. These are an excellent source of a certain form of omega-3 fatty acid."
What a Healthy Keto Diet Actually Looks Like
Shutterstock
While bacon and eggs were staples, Dr. Ekberg emphasizes variety: "If you go from a junk food diet with lots of sugar and processed starches and seed oils and garbage foods, then switching to bacon butter and eggs and eating nothing else would be a vast improvement. But we don't want to just do better. We want to do optimal."
A Day of Meals on the Experiment
Shutterstock
"I ate a lot of salads... with steak or ground beef or fish or chicken. And the only dressing I had would be extra virgin olive oil and vinegar... I had a good bit of omelets... I would put sausage and bacon. I would serve it on the side with avocado."

The Truth About Saturated Fat Consumption

"This may be the biggest hurdle that keeps people from trying a low carb or ketogenic diet," Dr. Ekberg notes. "It's not the saturated fat that's the problem. It is how is the body processing it?"
What the Blood Tests Revealed
Shutterstock
The results challenged conventional wisdom. "My insulin had gone from 4.8 to 5.7, first time out of the optimal range, 30 days of high fat, and I was back where I need to be in the three to four range," reports Dr. Ekberg. His triglycerides and VLDL levels also improved significantly.
How to Know if This Diet is Right for You
Shutterstock
Dr. Ekberg notes that while effective for most, this approach isn't universal: "The vast majority, probably 95% of people are going to have fairly straightforward journey that these physiological mechanisms, these principles are going to work just fine. But then there is always the exception, the other 5%."

Practical Tips for Including Healthy Fats

UCLA Health advises: "You can turn that around by cooking with vegetable oils, limiting saturated fats, avoiding trans fats and eating at least one good source of omega-3 fats each day." They add that even dark chocolate contains beneficial monounsaturated fats, though it should be consumed in moderation.
The Bottom Line on Fat Adaptation

Dr. Ekberg's final message is encouraging: "How adaptive your body is, that you can do serious damage in 10 days, but your body is very resilient. It will bounce back if you do the right things."

Samuel Emmanuel Dickerson Jr (@betterforyoursociety) is an online fitness coach who lost 30 pounds in 3 months. In addition to offering an online fitness program with tailored workouts and diet plans focused on weight loss, he also shares a lot of videos on TikTok revealing his diet and fitness secrets. In one viral video, he reveals a simple diet plan that will help you lose weight fast. The Body Network also asked The Diet Diva, Tara Collingwood, MS, RDN, CSSD, LD/N, ACSM-CPT, a Board Certified Sports Dietitian, to weigh in on his diet. 
Stick to Just Three Meals a Day@betteryoubettersocietyWhat To Eat Daily For Fat Loss Breakfast: 1 Cup of egg whites with 2-3 regular eggs. Lunch: 6-10oz of chicken breast with 1.5 cups of mixed veggies. Dinner: 6-10oz of chicken breast, 1 cup of cooked rice & 8oz of broccoli. Snack: Fruit (eat it in moderation) Cheat Day Suggestion: Eat a strict breakfast and lunch.

In the video, Sam recommends a few larger meals over lots of tiny ones. “I only want you to eat three meals a day,” he says. 
RDN Says: Collingwood is “fine” with a three meal per day eating plan, “but I do think a snack or two can work for most people to prevent them from getting ravenously hungry between meals,” she says. “Snacking can be another good way to get nutrition from fruit, yogurt, nuts, or other nutritious foods.”
Meal One: Eggs with Egg WhitesShutterstock
For the first meal, “one cup of egg whites with three regular eggs,” he says. In the accompanying photo, he shows a plate of scrambled eggs. 
RDN Says: “I love eggs and egg whites, but that is a lot of protein and it is not balanced with any other foods,” Collingwood points out. “Three egg yolks (whole eggs) is a lot of saturated fat and cholesterol on a daily basis.” She recommends following the American Heart Association guidelines of one whole egg (yolk) per day on average. “If you want a three egg omelet one day then have something else for a few days to average about seven whole eggs per week,” she suggests. “Egg whites are pretty much just fat free protein, so those I don’t really limit. However, I do encourage a balance of nutrients at meals.”  She suggests eating less of the eggs, but adding in some veggies to the scramble and a piece or two of whole grain toast for some nutritious carbs and fiber. “Or you could add some potatoes in with the eggs for carbs,” she says.

Meal Two: Chicken and VeggiesShutterstock
The second meal he recommends is “seven ounces of chicken breast with a cup and a half of mixed vegetables.” He shows his chicken breast with frozen mixed veggies, which appear to be steamed. 
RDN Says: Again, there aren’t any carbs at all and a lot of protein, says Collingwood. “Chicken breast is a wonderfully nutritious, low calorie food, but it isn’t necessary to eat seven ounces in one sitting. I would prefer four to five ounces and maybe add some quinoa for some high quality carbs. Love the mixed veggies!”
Meal Three: Chicken with Rice and BroccoliShutterstock
And for dinner, “eight ounces of chicken breasts, one cup of rice cooked, eight ounces of broccoli,” he says. 
RDN Says: Drop it down to five to six ounces of chicken and you’ve got a nice balanced meal, says Collingwood. “Choose brown rice or a different whole grain like the quinoa, barley, or whole grain pasta to provide some variety instead of white rice all the time,” she adds.

Snack: FruitsShutterstock
In addition to the three meals, his plan does allow for some in-between treats. “For your snack you can eat fruit,” he says. “You can kind of eat as much fruit as you want, just don't overdo it.”
RDN Says: Collingwood agrees that fruit is excellent, “especially if you are getting berries with seeds or other fruits with skin like apple, pear, peach, etc.,” she says. “I am not sure what ‘don’t overdo it’ means, but I hesitate to say as much as you want because some people may take that too far. I recommend two to four servings of fruit per day.”
It Will “Make You Lose Body Fat Pretty Quickly”samuelemmanueldickersonjr/Instagram
“A diet like that will make you lose body fat pretty quickly,” Sam says. “So now you follow that strict diet until you get to your goal. And then once you get to your goal, you can swap out, let's say the dinner for the food your mom makes, or you can swap out your dinner for eating out at a restaurant. Just don't overdo it.”

What the Dietitian Thinksdietdivatara/Instagram
Collingwood’s final thoughts? “If you follow too strict of a diet you will likely lose a good proportion of muscle in the total weight lost,” she says. “If you want to lose mostly fat, slow down the weight loss and make it a sustainable lifestyle instead of a ‘diet’ you go on and off. You can definitely include restaurant food and other favorites as long as you watch total portions.”
💪🔥Body Booster: While you might lose weight fast on a strict diet, it will be harder to keep the weight off than if you lose weight via a less aggressive method that is less of a diet and more of a lifestyle shift.

TikToker Denise (@denisehamdan) lost 30 pounds by eating a very specific diet—and it looks absolutely delicious. By focusing on sticking to 1700 calories and at least 130 grams of protein  a day, this influencer not only fuels her workouts and builds muscle, but stays satiated. So what are some of the things she eats on a daily basis? Here’s what her typical diet and snacking habits look like.
Protein ShakesShutterstock
Denise drinks protein shakes every day to get her protein macros in, and fuel her workouts. She sometimes brews up her shakes at the gym, but also premixes them at home so there is always one ready to go. She also likes to keep protein bars with her for snacks.
Lots of EggsShutterstock
Denise says she loves to eat breakfast food at any time of day, so brunch is perfect. Her typical meal is scrambled eggs on sourdough with avocado and bacon. “Egg protein has been shown to decrease malnutrition, improve muscle health, increase satiety, and therefore contribute to weight loss,” according to the National Institutes of Health. “It has other additional benefits including protection against infection, decreases in blood pressure, as well as an anti-cancer effect.”
Avocado For Brunch@denisehamdanday 5/30 in my 30 days of healthy meals series!! Today we have a yummy protein chicken bowl ive been so obsessed with lately. I got most of my ingredients from Trader Joes and love to eat this for dinner. lmk what other recipes you guys want to see  ◡̈  p.s for LESS calories only add half of the guac and cut out the mozzarella.  #30daysofhealthymeals #30dayhealthchallenge #recipes #healthyrecipesforlunch #healthyrecipes #healthyeating #chickenrecipe #healthychickenrecipe #chickenbowl #chickenbowlrecipe #highprotein #highproteinrecipes #highproteinbreakfast #highproteinmealprep #highproteindiet #highproteindinner #dinnerinspo #healthyfoodforbeginners #beginnerrecipe #beginnerworkout #howtoeathealthy #weightloss #losebodyfat #fyp #cuttingseason #macros #lowcalorierecipe #lowcaloriehighprotein
Denise relies heavily on delicious avocados for their healthy fat content and overall nutrient profile. She eats them with eggs, in wraps, and in her chicken bowls. When she wants to cut calories, she halves the guacamole amount in her bowls.
Coffee for EnergyShutterstock
Denise relies on coffee to give her a boost—sometimes more than once a day. “Both regular and decaf coffee seem to have a protective effect on your liver,” according to Johns Hopkins Health. Research shows that coffee drinkers are more likely to have liver enzyme levels within a healthy range than people who don’t drink coffee.”

Chicken BowlsShutterstock
Denise loves her Chipotle-style chicken bowls on brown rice. “Compared with white rice, brown rice contains much higher amounts of fiber, certain B vitamins (B1, B3, B6, and B9), magnesium, potassium, and iron,” according to Harvard Health. “Research suggests that swapping white rice for brown rice may improve blood sugar levels and help with weight control.”
Healthy Girl SnacksShutterstock
Denise enjoys “healthy girls snacks”, which include tuna on crackers, green smoothies, and strawberry parfait poppers. She also likes protein cake bites and a yogurt bowl with blueberries. Organic tortilla chips and pico is one of her favorite savory snacks.

Protein plays a huge part in Denise’s daily diet—she takes over 130 grams every day. This is part of her health and fitness mantra: “If you eat less, move more, eat plenty of protein, and strength train, you’ll lose body fat and build muscle.”
💪🔥Body Booster: Incorporate nutrient-rich avocados into your diet for their healthy fats. Enjoy them with eggs, in wraps, or in chicken bowls, and reduce the portion size when cutting calories.

Are you trying to lose weight, but aren’t sure what to ditch from your diet? Stanley Bronstein is an author and weight loss expert who lost 220 pounds. The self-proclaimed “Been There, Done That, Weight-Loss Expert, who is launching the Million Pound Weight Loss Challenge on June 1, 2025, recently sat down with Body Network and revealed his top tips, including 5 simple food swaps he made to lose 30 pounds.

            
                I Swapped Diet Soda For Water
            
            
        Shutterstock“When I first started my weight loss journey, one of the very first things I did was stop drinking sodas. Picture this – I was drinking three big bottles (2 liters each) of Diet, Caffeine Free soda.
I knew from reading many studies that diet soda was supposed to be just as bad (if not worse) than regular soda. So I quit drinking it and started drinking water instead. That was 16 years (and 175 pounds ago – I was 320 pounds at the time). If you go back to 1990, I was even larger (367 pounds). I haven’t had a soda since. It took a while to get used to the change, but now I don’t miss them at all,” he says.

            
                I Swapped White Rice For Brown Rice and Other Grains
            
            
        ​Refined Grains to Whole GrainsShutterstock“Brown rice, which contains more nutrients and fiber, is a healthier choice for most people. Even better than brown rice are other grains, such as farro and barley. Barley has a glycemic index of only 28, which is one of the lowest among all grains. Farro has a glycemic index of only 45. Contrast this with a glycemic index of 73. The lower the glycemic index, the less your likelihood of Type II diabetes,” he reveals.

            
                I Swapped Regular Milk For Almond Milk or Soy Milk
            
            
        Almond Milk ​Shutterstock“Midway through my weight loss journey, I concluded, after reading many studies, that I needed to eliminate dairy from my diet. Be aware that while almond milk tastes great, it doesn’t have nearly the same amount of protein as either whole milk or soy milk. That’s why I prefer soy milk. It has slightly more protein than regular milk and roughly 7 times the protein of almond milk. Make sure you buy the unsweetened varieties of almond milk and soy milk. Any time you buy a flavored non-dairy milk, it will have lots of added sugar, and that’s not good (in my opinion),” he maintains.

            
                I Swapped Ice Cream For Nice Cream
            
            
        ​Protein Ice CreamShutterstock“You may ask, what’s Nice Cream? All you need to do is take a bunch of ripe bananas and put them in the freezer for about an hour. Don’t let them get frozen solid. Then take them out and throw them in the blender or food processor. Viola. You have banana-flavored ice cream that tastes delicious. While it still tastes sweet, all the sugars in nice cream are natural, as opposed to the refined sugars typically found in ice cream,” he says.

            
                I Swapped Unsalted Raw Nuts For Roasted/Salted Ones
            
            
        ​NutsShutterstock“I’ll be the first to admit that roasted/salted nuts are delicious. No doubt about it. But did you know that most roasted nuts are roasted in some type of oil, such as peanut oil? That adds unnecessary fat to the mix. Plus, it’s even worse if they add salt to the mix. You might say raw, unsalted nuts don’t taste as good. Well, here’s a little trick. Lay them out on a baking pan and roast in the oven at 350 degrees until they start to turn brown (or use an air fryer if you have one). Then take them out and let them cool for about an hour. Roasting brings out the natural oils in the nuts, and they’re fantastic. But don’t eat too many, as they can be addictive,” he says.

        8 Signs You’re Not Eating Enough Protein

Are you eating enough protein? There are some signs to look out for. Crystal Zabka-Belsky, MS, RDN, CSSD, LMNT, LDN, from Clean Eatz, explains that protein is essential. “As published in the Journal of Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome, high-protein diets will not only promote muscle protein synthesis, but will also reduce fat mass for both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets,” she says. “It is essential to identify a long-term strategy to meet daily protein needs.” Here are eight signs you aren’t eating enough protein. 

            
                Loss of Lean Muscle Mass
            
            
        Shutterstock
The first sign is loss of lean muscle mass. “Loss of lean muscle mass is often a result of chronically low caloric intake and inadequate protein availability to restore muscle tissue consistently,” she says.

            
                Bone Loss or Injury
            
            
        ​ Warning Sign 3 Wrist Pain and WeaknessShutterstockAnother sign? Bone loss or injury. “A consequence of low protein intake that comes as a surprise to many people is bone compromise including stress fractures, osteopenia, and early onset of osteoporosis,” she says.

                Eating More Empty Calories
            
            
        ​Junk Foods: The Triple ThreatShutterstockAre you eating more? “Inadequate protein intake can lead to excessive consumption of additional ‘empty calories’ that don’t promote natural satiety and lead to unwanted body fat gain,” she says.

            
                Your Metabolism Slows Down
            
            
        ​Breaking Free from Food ObsessionShutterstockA slower metabolism is also a sign. “When protein intake doesn’t meet our body’s needs for ongoing muscle protein synthesis, our lean body mass starts to decline, leading to a reduced metabolic rate,” she says.

            
                You Are Experiencing More Injuries
Beat Joint Pain in 2 Weeks With This Anti-Inflammatory DietShutterstockInjuries can also occur if you don’t eat enough protein. “Protein plays an essential role in muscle protein synthesis, particularly food protein sources rich in the amino acid leucine. When adequate amino acids aren’t available to synthesize new muscle tissue after exercise, chronic injuries are much more likely to occur,” she says.

        ​Sign 2: Pain Under Right RibsShutterstock“Satiety, the natural feeling of fullness, is highly-related to protein intake due to the extended time period required for protein digestion. When individuals rely on high-carbohydrate foods, it results in a state of insatiable hunger,” she says.

                Poor Exercise Recovery
​Overdoing Pre-WorkoutShutterstock“There is a common misconception that protein is an energy source for exercise, but it only provides about 5% of our fuel. Protein is actually the primary source of nutrition for promoting recovery and if protein doesn’t follow exercise as a recovery strategy, one can expect chronic poor exercise recovery,” she says.

        10 Weight Loss Mistakes You Need to Stop MakingShutterstockComplete protein sources contain all 9 essential amino acids and a variety of nutrients for the body, including B vitamins (niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, and B6), vitamin E, iron, zinc, and magnesium. “If protein intake is deficient, it is highly likely that one will experience nutrient deficiencies,” she maintains.

As a 48-year-old woman dealing with menopause, Giuliana watched helplessly as her weight climbed despite regular exercise and careful eating. After gaining nearly 20 pounds over five years, she reached her breaking point at 143.8 pounds—the heaviest she'd ever been, even after three pregnancies. Working with her husband, Dr. Matt Reuschle, PT, DPT, CSCS from GoTherex, she finally found success with Mounjaro when traditional methods failed. Here's exactly how she dropped 20 pounds in just three months and, more importantly, the specific strategies she's using to maintain her results long-term.

            
                Why Her Body Stopped Responding to Exercise
            
            
        Despite maintaining an active lifestyle, Giuliana's weight continued climbing steadily year after year. "I used to be like 130, 128 pounds and I reached a point when I was almost 144," she explained to her husband. Standing at just 5'2", this weight wasn't healthy for her frame. Her daily three-mile walks and regular garage weightlifting sessions made no difference—the pounds kept accumulating regardless of her efforts.

        7 Foods That Make Hot Flashes Worse During MenopauseShutterstockHormonal changes played the primary role in Giuliana's weight struggle. "I was pretty menopausal. All the gaining of the weight was due to my age and also because I was taking birth control pills," she realized. Even after switching from pills to an IUD to help with hormonal balance, the weight continued accumulating. She consulted with dieticians and tried various exercise regimens, but nothing stopped the scale from climbing upward.

            
                Why Her Doctor Recommended Mounjaro Instead of Other Options
            
            
        ​What Research ShowsShutterstockDr. Matt selected Mounjaro specifically because of its impressive efficacy compared to other weight loss medications. "It's currently the best of the drugs available for weight loss," he explained to her. While older weight loss medications showed only 5-7% efficacy in research, Mounjaro affects both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, showing over 20% weight loss in studies. This dual-action mechanism made it the logical choice for someone like Giuliana who had the exercise portion mastered but struggled with dietary control despite best efforts.

            
                Her Weekly Treatment Schedule
            
            
        ​Understanding Your New Relationship with FoodShutterstockGiuliana's treatment followed a structured approach with careful monitoring to ensure safety and effectiveness. "Every week, at the same time, on the same day, I went to the doctor to get my shot," she committed to the process. A nurse administered the injection in her stomach, which was completely painless—much easier than she expected. Each visit included a full body composition analysis to track her progress beyond just weight. The medication dosage increased monthly for three months until she reached her goal weight, followed by a final month at a lower dosage to safely discontinue treatment.

                How She Tracked Every Change in Her Body
            
            
        ​A Science-Based ApproachShutterstockDetailed body composition reports provided Giuliana with comprehensive insights beyond just the number on the scale. "The report included my body fat percentage, visceral fat, total body water, and muscle mass measurements for different body parts," giving her a complete picture of her changing body. Starting at 143.8 pounds with 30% body fat (and visceral fat at 7), her final report showed remarkable progress: 123.6 pounds with 24.6% body fat (visceral fat down to 5). Particularly encouraging was maintaining most of her muscle mass—losing less than one pound of muscle (from 29 to 28.1 pounds) while shedding nearly 20 pounds overall.

            
                Side Effects She Experienced (And How She Managed Them)
            
            
        ​That Embarrassing Moment...ShutterstockUnlike many Mounjaro users who experience severe nausea, Giuliana's experience was surprisingly different. "I never had any nausea, I never vomited. I think it's because I started with a lower dosage so my body was getting used to the medicine," which made the process much more manageable than she expected. However, she did struggle with significant constipation—sometimes going five days without a bowel movement, which was extremely uncomfortable. Through trial and error, she developed an effective remedy combining prune juice with Miralax, applesauce, and fiber-rich celery that finally provided relief when needed.

            
                Why You Must Prioritize Protein While Taking Weight Loss Medication
            
            
        ​Amp Up Your Protein IntakeShutterstockDr. Matt emphasized that proper nutrition and exercise were absolutely essential companions to the medication—not optional add-ons. "We want to make sure that we're losing the weight that's most appropriate to lose," he explained, focusing on fat loss rather than just weight loss. The goal was specifically to preserve muscle mass while shedding fat, which required strategic intervention with her diet. "We need to stimulate muscle growth and muscle retention through your diet. So number one, we need to raise your protein," became Giuliana's daily focus even when she wasn't hungry. Additionally, resistance training provided the stimulus needed to maintain and build lean tissue, which keeps metabolism higher long-term.

                How Mounjaro Rewired Her Brain's Relationship With Food
            
            
        ShutterstockThe most unexpected and valuable benefit Giuliana experienced was the complete elimination of food cravings that had haunted her for years. "The voice in my head that used to tell me before I took Mounjaro that I have cravings, those cravings haven't come back," even months after stopping the medication. This mental reset fundamentally changed her relationship with food—she now views it primarily as fuel rather than comfort or habit. Even during Christmas and holiday celebrations, she could enjoy treats in moderation without feeling out of control or derailing her progress, a freedom she hadn't experienced in years.

            
                The Right Way to Transition Off Medication (Without Regaining Weight)
            
            
        Shutterstock/Shift DriveDr. Matt emphasized the crucial process of "reverse dieting" when transitioning off Mounjaro to prevent the weight regain that affects many people. "Maintain for two to four weeks before you ever go to raise your calories or decrease your activity levels once you reach your goal," he advised her with specific instructions. The transition period typically needs to equal the weight loss period—so her three months of weight loss required three months of careful transition to normal eating. This methodical approach prevents the metabolism from being shocked by sudden dietary changes, dramatically reducing the common risk of rapid weight regain after stopping medication.

            
                How She's Building Sustainable Habits That Stick
            
            
        ShutterstockThe key to maintaining Giuliana's results long-term lies entirely in the new habits she formed during treatment. "Mounjaro gives you a chance to build habits without those same mechanisms in the body that have been driving you towards the bad habits," Dr. Matt explained about the window of opportunity the medication provides. She's found that smaller portions and protein-focused meals have genuinely become her new normal without feeling like deprivation. The four months on medication provided enough time to establish these healthier patterns as automatic behaviors, making maintenance significantly more manageable now that her treatment has ended.

            
                Why Professional Guidance Makes All the Difference
            
            
        ShutterstockFrom her experience, working with qualified health professionals rather than trying to navigate this journey alone made an enormous difference in Giuliana's success. "You want to look for people that are looking to improve your health, not just looking to get you to lose weight," Dr. Matt advises based on years of clinical experience. Quality professionals focus on creating sustainable environments for long-term success rather than just quick results, helping clients feel better, look better, and ultimately live better through permanent lifestyle changes rather than temporary fixes that lead to inevitable rebounds.

                The Complete Approach That Finally Worked For Her
            
            
        ShutterstockGiuliana's success ultimately came from addressing multiple health factors simultaneously rather than focusing exclusively on weight loss. "Health and fitness is more than just exercise. You're going to need to take a look at your diet, your stress levels, which includes how you sleep, and understand your blood and hormones," Dr. Matt explains about the approach that finally worked for her after years of frustration. This comprehensive method ensured that all potential obstacles to her weight management were identified and addressed, creating a foundation for lasting results beyond just the number on the scale. At 48, she finally feels like herself again—and more importantly, she has the tools to stay this way. And if you enjoyed this article, don't miss20 Incredible Ozempic Success Stories of All Time.
