Why Weight Loss Plateaus and What to Do
Stalls are normal. Understand why they happen and how to restart progress.
Your body adapts
As you lose weight, you burn fewer calories at rest and during movement. Hormones that control hunger also shift, making the same diet feel harder.
Check the basics
Portion creep, weekend eating and unlogged drinks can erase a deficit. Track honestly for two weeks and compare trends, not single weigh-ins.
Ways to break through
Add resistance training, increase daily steps, review protein intake and consider a planned two-week maintenance break. Persistent stalls with other symptoms deserve a medical check.
