Can weight loss be maintained after stopping Mounjaro?
Weight loss can be maintained after stopping Mounjaro, but it is challenging and many people regain some weight if they do not continue healthy habits. The main reasons for weight regain include increased appetite and changes in how the body processes food once the medication is stopped. Building sustainable eating patterns, staying active, and seeking ongoing support are key to keeping weight off for the long term.
- Weight regain after stopping Mounjaro is common, but not inevitable.
- Healthy habits—such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, and mindful eating—are crucial for maintaining weight loss.
- Gradually reducing the dose (weaning off) may help the body adjust and support weight maintenance.
- Ongoing support from healthcare professionals can help manage weight changes and provide personalised advice.
- Addressing emotional or psychological causes of overeating can further reduce the risk of regaining weight.
