The Japanese Mounjaro recipe is the latest craze circulating around TikTok and social media claiming to help with weight less the natural way ... but is there any science behind it?
Call me a Google expert on this topic! Here is what AI has to say about it ... the following seems to be mainly summarized from Yale University’s self help education website as well as VeryWellHealth:
"The individual ingredients often found in these "natural Mounjaro" recipes are supported by scientific research for their health benefits and potential contributions to weight loss.Core ingredients commonly found in these recipes, such as matcha, ginger, apple cider vinegar, lemon/lime, kombu, and umeboshi, have some science-backed health benefits that may support weight management:
🌱Matcha: Contains catechins like EGCG which may aid metabolism and fat oxidation during exercise. L-theanine provides sustained energy.
- No Peer Reviewed Studies: There are no specific peer-reviewed studies directly validating the Japanese Mounjaro recipe as a weight loss solution. Its effects are likely due to the combined benefits of its individual ingredients rather than a unique magical property.
The juice of half a lemon
1 teaspoon of honey (which is optional)
1/8 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt, or a small piece of Kombu edible kelp (also optional)
My thoughts are: Japanese Mounjaro contains healthy ingredients that benefit a diet, but there are tastier ways of consuming them. Fads rarely work. The drink isn’t sustainable. Without reducing your food intake, you won’t drop significant amounts of weight. Moreover, drinking ginger every morning may interfere with certain prescription drugs some people take to treat other health conditions. Check with your doctor to make sure the ingredients ingested daily play nice with other drugs.
