I have been on 5 mg tirzepatide for the last 16 weeks and have lost weight from 216 pounds to 189 pounds, which is almost 0.8 kg per week. Now I want to start tapering off slowly because of financial reasons. However, I have heard a lot about weight gain after stopping it. I walk daily, around 10k steps, and usually eat 70–100 g of protein per day. What else should I do before completely stopping tirzepatide?

Some of you may have already stopped tirzepatide or another GLP-1 medication, so what advice would you give before I quit completely? What mistakes did you make during your journey, especially when stopping the medication, that you would warn me about in advance?
