Mounjaro
If you’ve been losing weight steadily on Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and suddenly the scales have stopped moving, you’re not alone.
Almost everyone reaches a plateau — a point where progress slows or pauses — after a few months.
At PPRX Online Pharmacy, our pharmacists see this all the time, and the good news is: it’s temporary.
Here’s why it happens and exactly what to do to get your results moving again.
Why Plateaus Happen on Mounjaro
- Your body adjusts to the new weight
As you lose fat, your body burns fewer calories. It’s a normal metabolic reset, not a sign of failure. - Appetite hormones stabilise
Mounjaro’s early appetite suppression may lessen slightly as your body balances GLP-1 and GIP sensitivity. - Muscle loss slows metabolism
If you’re not eating enough protein or doing resistance training, you may lose muscle, which lowers daily calorie burn. - Hidden calories creep in
Sauces, coffee syrups, or “healthy” snacks can add up quickly when appetite returns. - You’re due for a dose increase
Staying on a lower dose too long (like 2.5 mg or 5 mg) can reduce effectiveness — gradual titration keeps results steady.
How to Break a Mounjaro Plateau
1. Review Your Dose
Check your prescription plan. If you’ve been on the same strength for over 8 weeks and tolerating it well, it may be time to move up a level (under prescriber guidance).
| Current Dose | Next Step |
|---|---|
| 2.5 mg | Increase to 5 mg |
| 5 mg | Increase to 7.5 mg |
| 7.5 mg | Increase to 10 mg |
| 10 mg | Increase to 12.5 mg |
| 12.5 mg | Increase to 15 mg |

2. Re-check Your Meals
Portion sizes often drift up again as hunger returns.
Track your intake for a few days — focus on protein, veg, and whole foods while avoiding excess oils and snacks.
3. Add Strength Training
Resistance exercises help rebuild lean muscle and reignite metabolism.
Just two or three 30-minute sessions per week (using weights or bodyweight) can restart fat loss.
4. Prioritise Sleep and Stress Control
Poor sleep increases cortisol, which can slow fat burning.
Aim for 7–8 hours per night, avoid screens before bed, and stay hydrated.
5. Stay Consistent With Injection Timing
Inject on the same day each week to maintain steady hormone levels.
Inconsistent timing can cause small fluctuations that affect appetite and digestion.
6. Increase Daily Movement
Even small changes — walking 30 minutes a day, taking stairs, or parking farther away — increase calorie burn by 100–300 calories daily.
7. Don’t Panic or Quit Early
Plateaus are a sign of progress, not failure.
Your body is adjusting to a healthier weight — stay patient and keep consistent with your plan.

FAQs
How long do Mounjaro plateaus last?
Usually 2–4 weeks, depending on dose and lifestyle. Adjusting habits or increasing dosage helps break them.
Will increasing my dose fix the plateau instantly?
It can help, but lifestyle consistency still matters. Speak to your prescriber before changing doses.
Is a plateau a bad sign?
No — it’s part of the body’s natural adaptation. Even at a plateau, your metabolism and blood sugar are improving.
Can diet or exercise alone restart progress?
Yes. Small improvements in protein intake, sleep, or daily steps often reignite fat loss.
