When looking at studies, in addition to the percentage of weight loss, it also depends on whether the participants have diabetes, the dosage used, how long the follow-up period is, and whether it is combined with lifestyle intervention. Figures from different trials are not necessarily directly comparable.
Outpatient tracking does not only look at kilograms, but also waist circumference, food intake, physical strength and side effects. Average results in studies are not personal guarantees, and not everyone needs to pursue the same dosage.

Mounjaro FAQ
Is Mounjaro the same as Wegovy?

Comparison of reading effect and drug selection →Mounjaro doesn't make me sick. Is it ineffective?
Not necessarily. Whether it is effective depends on changes in weight and health over a period of time, not nausea or being unable to eat at all as a criterion. If you have any questions, return to the doctor with your weight, diet and medication records for discussion.
Understanding Weight Stagnation and Tracking →Do I need to combine diet and exercise with Mounjaro?
Weight management still requires appropriate nutrition and activity. When food intake is reduced, attention should be paid to protein and overall nutrition; muscle strength training should be arranged gradually according to individual physical ability. If there are special diseases or dietary restrictions, discuss them with the medical team first.
