Starting Weight and Metabolic Health<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1941\" data-end=\"2092\">People with higher starting body weight or insulin resistance may experience more significant early losses as the body\u2019s metabolism begins to regulate.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-diet-and-nutrition\" data-start=\"2094\" data-end=\"2123\">2. Diet and Nutrition<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2124\" data-end=\"2323\">While Mounjaro curbs appetite, sustainable weight loss still depends on balanced meals rich in protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Overly restrictive diets can slow progress or worsen side effects.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3-physical-activity\" data-start=\"2325\" data-end=\"2353\">3. Physical Activity<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2354\" data-end=\"2483\">Gentle, consistent activity \u2014 like walking, resistance training, or yoga \u2014 enhances fat loss and helps preserve lean muscle mass.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"4-dose-and-titration-schedule\" data-start=\"2485\" data-end=\"2523\">4. Dose and Titration Schedule<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2524\" data-end=\"2721\">Mounjaro dosing starts low and gradually increases every 4 weeks to minimize side effects. Patients on higher doses (5 mg or more) often see faster weight changes compared to those still at 2.5 mg.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"5-individual-biology\" data-start=\"2723\" data-end=\"2752\">5.
