Mounjaro Plateau After 3 Years: What I’m Doing Now (Calorie Tracking, Fiber, Protein & Strength Training)

MC shares that after reducing her Mounjaro dose to 12.5 due to intolerable side effects at higher doses, her heartburn, fatigue, and nausea are now manageable, but her weight loss has stalled with 10–15 pounds left to lose. She explains weight-loss plateaus as common metabolic adaptation, citing SURMOUNT-1 data showing about 90% of participants plateaued by week 72 and that energy expenditure dropped while appetite pushed back. To stay engaged, she plans to track calories, build a reward system for consistency, increase fiber (including fermentable options) and water, prioritize protein (aiming for 100g/day), and do resistance training Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. She notes her Hum Band shows increased muscle and decreased fat despite a stable scale, plans a DEXA scan, and emphasizes working with a care team and focusing on long-term health and maintenance.
