💰 Calculate Your Potential Food Cost Savings with Weight Management Medications
At Happy Pharmacy, we’re here to support every part of your health journey — including your wallet! Our Food Savings Calculator helps you understand not only the health benefits but also the potential financial advantages of weight management medications like Wegovy®(semaglutide), Mounjaro®(tirzepatide), and Orlistat(Xenical®/Alli®).
⚙️ How It Works
Weight management medications can significantly reduce appetite or fat absorption, leading to lower calorie intake as part of a complete plan. Simply enter your current daily calorie intake and select your expected calorie reduction percentage — our calculator will estimate how much you could save on food costs!
💸 Financial Benefits
Based on data from the Food Foundation, the average cost of healthier foods in the UK is approximately £10 per 1,000 calories [1] 📊. Using this, our calculator estimates your potential:
- 📅 Daily savings
- 📈 Weekly savings
- 📆 Monthly savings
- 📊 Annual savings
🔬 Scientific Backing
Clinical studies show meaningful calorie and cost reductions:
- Mounjaro®: Up to 30% weight loss over 72 weeks [2]
- Wegovy®: Around 15% weight loss over 68 weeks [3]
- Orlistat: 5–10% weight loss over 1 year [4] when combined with a reduced-calorie diet
🧠 How Orlistat works: Unlike Wegovy or Mounjaro, Orlistat doesn’t suppress appetite — it blocks up to 30% of dietary fat absorption, helping reduce overall calorie intake, particularly for high-fat diets.
These reductions can support your weight goals and lead to meaningful food savings over time.
