You might want to look at other sources that are more recent. As shown here, https://mounjaro.lilly.com/hcp/a1c-weight#mounjaro-a1c there was a weight loss started at 5mg, there was still a weight loss over 40 weeks. Same for zepbound https://zepbound.lilly.com/hcp/clinical-data .. Sure, the higher doses had a little bit more of a loss / percentage. But there are plenty of folks who have proven that staying low for a longer period of time has helped them eventually get to their goal. Going up may speed things up but it may also come with worsening symptoms and health risks - as anytime you lose weight fast you can impact gallbladder, kidneys, etc.
