understanding weight gain
Weight gain occurs when there is an imbalance between calorie intake and energy expenditure, leading to excess body fat accumulation. Factors contributing to weight gain include genetics, hormonal imbalances, sedentary lifestyles, and unhealthy eating habits. Identifying the underlying causes of weight gain can help determine the most effective weight loss strategy. By consulting with licensed pharmacists from our online pharmacy, you can gain a better understanding of how weight gain works. YourPharmacy is a certified UK registered pharmacy, approved by the GPhC.
causes of weight gain
Weight gain is influenced by multiple factors, including lifestyle, diet, medical conditions, and genetics. While occasional fluctuations are normal, persistent weight gain can be attributed to multiple factors.
Genetics
Family history can influence body weight and fat distribution.
Hormonal Changes
Conditions like hypothyroidism can slow metabolism, leading to weight gain.
Lifestyle Factors
Poor diet choices and lack of physical activity are significant contributors.
Medications
Certain drugs, such as corticosteroids and antidepressants, can cause weight gain as a side effect.
common weight loss treatments
Wegovy (Semaglutide): Mimics a natural hormone to regulate appetite and food intake.
Mounjaro (Tirzepatide): A dual-action GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist that enhances weight loss.
Saxenda (Liraglutide): Suppresses hunger and slows stomach emptying, leading to reduced calorie intake.
Orlistat (Xenical): Blocks fat absorption in the intestines.
Mysimba (Naltrexone/Bupropion): Affects appetite control Centres in the brain to reduce cravings.
Diet: Adopting a calorie-controlled, high-protein, and fibre-rich eating plan.
Exercise: Engaging in regular physical activity to increase energy expenditure.
Behavioural Therapy: Addressing emotional and psychological factors related to eating habits.
Diet and Meal Considerations
While medications like Wegovy and Mounjaro are highly effective for weight loss, a healthy diet is equally important when reaching your goals. There are no specific meals for weight loss. However, we always prescribe nutrient-dense diets focused on lean protein, vegetables, and whole grains for our patients. Combine this with your treatment, and you will achieve maximum effectiveness from your weight loss attempts and maintain long-term success
mounjaro vs wegovy: which weight loss medicine is more effective?
Our UK registered pharmacy has both Mounjaro and Wegovy available. The FDA has approved these two injections as fat loss injections. Wegovy weight loss injection works for people who want slow and steady progress because it primarily controls appetite and does not slow digestion. On the other hand, Mounjaro weight loss injection works in two ways: it suppresses your appetite and slows down digestion. Because of this, people who require a more comprehensive approach prefer Mounjaro injection. Some common side effects of Mounjaro and Wegovy injections include vomiting, nausea, gastrointestinal issues, and dehydration.
Mounjaro is suited for greater weight loss, as studies showcase that Mounjaro users lose up to 22.5% of their body weight compared to Wegovy users, who lose 15%.

YourPharmacy Success Stories
Before
After
Since April 2024, I’ve lost almost six and a half stones with Mounjaro, thanks to the support of Your Pharmacy at Greenhill. I chose them because I wanted the option of face-to-face consultations and the in-person support when needed. The whole process has been so simple and straightforward- they even deliver it to my door.
Losing so much weight has changed my life—I have more energy, find exercise much easier, and I just generally look and feel 100x better.
I’d really recommend the fabulous team at Your Pharmacy to anyone who is considering a weight loss journey and wondering if Mounjaro is right for them.

I’ve been using Mounjaro for a year and can honestly say it has changed my life. It’s not just about losing weight. I’m able to be more active, clothes fit better, I’m more confident in myself and my mental health has improved. I was in a vicious cycle of hating myself because of my weight and then I’d eat because I was depressed. The food wanting noise has been switched off and I’m making much better choices with food and wanting to eat better. YourPharmacy, have been amazing. They’re supportive, they give you a call to make sure you’re ok and are on hand for any queries. I know I’m in good hands.” – Jane H.
