Higher Mounjaro dose equals more weight loss?
I wanted to post this in here because I think it is something that comes up a lot. Does a higher Mounjaro dose mean more weight loss? In my opinion, no. Not automatically. Mounjaro does not directly make you lose weight. What it does is reduce hunger, quieten the food noise and make it easier to stay in control. The weight loss still comes from what you do while that is happening. Your food choices, your habits, your protein, your calories, your movement and the lifestyle changes you are building along the way. I think this is where people can get caught out. More suppression is not always better. If your current dose has your appetite under control, the food noise is quiet and you are still able to eat enough to have energy, then moving up is not always necessary. Being on a dose where you can barely eat is not the goal. Having no energy is not the goal. Under eating might make the scales move quickly for a while, but it is not a healthy or sustainable way to do this. I did move up every month myself. At the time the cost was the same no matter what dose I was on and I also felt it wearing off towards the end of each month. But looking back now, I probably could have stayed longer on some of the lower doses. That is not me saying everyone should stay low forever. It is different for everyone. Some people do really well on 2.5mg for a long time. Some people genuinely do need to move up quicker. But I do think the aim should be to stay on the lowest dose that is still working for you, for as long as possible. The max dose is 15mg. Once you get there, there is no higher dose to chase. So it makes sense to use the lower doses properly if they are still helping. I have lost weight in extreme ways before. The weight came off fast, but I had no energy, I could not train properly and the second I stopped, it came back on. Doing the same thing on Mounjaro by chasing total suppression and barely eating is not the answer either. The best dose is not always the highest dose. It is the dose that helps you stay in control while still eating enough, moving your body and building something you can actually keep going.

On June 6th I'll be on mounjaro 12 months. In that time I've lost 20kg. I'm delighted but... I've not lost on the scales since February. I continue to look better/smaller... But those scales πŸ˜₯ I've gone up the doses slowly. I'm currently on 7mg and thinking about going to 7.5. I get the 15mg pen in Northern Ireland so the cost is better for my pocket. I'm in perimenopause, 90kg and a dance fitness instructor ( zumba, zumba Sentao and Fitsteps πŸ’ƒ) My tdee says I should be eating 1730kcals (500 kcal deficit) and lately I'm finding it harder to stay under this without REALLY planning. So. 7.5 for me today.
