Monjaro

[Ljbarny]

Hi i am just coming to the end of my 2.5 monjaro injections.
I stayed on 2.5 injection from the start and not gone on higher doses. As i was losing anoth weight.
Just coming to the end of 3rd month and lost 3 stone.
Is there any advise of how to come off. And because I am on the lowest dose. How can I do a maintenance dose.

I plan on staying on the lower dose too if I continue to maintain weight loss until target weight, so very interested in other's POV but I have read that some people on lower dose space out the jab frequency to once every 10-14 days for maintenance.

Some possible options are

1. Maintain on 2.5mg and track/increase calories slowly until you find your maintenance calories
2. Reduce dose by counting clicks again increasing calories
3. Extend time between injections to 6-10 days to reduce concentration in your body overall, increasing calories

It really is a personal preference and a bit of trial and error for each person.

3 stone in 3 months is seriously fast weight loss which indicates you haven’t been eating a healthy balanced diet throughout. I would keep taking the 2.5mg until you manage to get yourself eating properly, then perhaps consider micro dosing for a while to let it set in your head before coming off. If you just stop and haven’t got the eating corrected you will just put it all back on.

@newworki This is a false statement, some people high responder of mounjaro and tend to lose weight quicker while on it. I know someone who lost 50lbs in 3 month and ate clean too

The issue is there will be a lot of muscle loss not just fat too with such a quick weight loss so regain happens much quicker due to having less muscle burning calories for energy.
To lose 1st a month that's a deficit of approx 1600-1700 a day, which previous poster was referring to it not being a healthy diet because how can you eat enough and have a deficit of that much, even with exercise. This is extreme low calorie dieting.

It’s not false at all. If someone is losing weight rapidly they are not fuelling their body properly. I didn’t mean to suggest OP wasn’t eating ‘clean’ I meant OP isn’t eating enough

Also a high responder means they are sensitive so need a lower dose. The actual weight loss is based on calories in and out and calories burned, as well as reduction in inflammation thus excess water loss

Nobody mentioned "clean". What was stated was "you haven’t been eating a healthy balanced diet". Losing 4lb a week for 3 months is not healthy. That's just a fact.
