Party season was wrecking my Mounjaro weight loss. So I turned to the sneaky fat jab trick A-listers rely on... with astonishing results, reveals NADINE DORRIES

The Stilton and crackers were always going to be my toughest test. Or possibly the yule log. The profiteroles. The Baileys… Coming off the weight-loss jab Mounjaro just before Christmas was surely inviting failure. From August to October, I'd dropped two stone and achieved my target weight of 8st 12lbs. I could slip into a wisp of a cocktail dress and yet, as I wrote in this paper in December, I was dreading the start of the party season and, in truth, Christmas itself.

My diary was more full than usual and every engagement involved temptation: a gathering catered by two top chefs, post-carol-service wine and mince pies, lunch at the home of my favourite cookbook writer, canapes at a stately home, and our own traditional New Year's Eve fondue and raclette party. On it went. Eat me, eat me, eat me. Did I have the strength to resist?.

Meanwhile, in my fridge at home sat another form of temptation. I took my final dose of Mounjaro in October. But I still had one syringe pen left, in date until February 2025. It sat in my fridge calling to me just as much as the Stilton, for with one jab – indeed, one so-called 'microdose' – I knew I could make all this Christmas 'food noise' disappear.

Microdosing with weight- loss jabs like Mounjaro is an increasingly common tactic. Some medics now recommend you spend up to a year on a weekly 2.5mg of the drug after coming off the full dose. (The full dose is different for everyone – I never went higher than 7.5mg.).
