6 min read • Updated Dec 2025
Stuck at the same weight? Here's how to restart progress.
Why Plateaus Happen
- Metabolism adapts to lower calories
- Lost muscle = lower burn
- Not tracking accurately anymore
- Water retention masking fat loss
Solutions
- Recalculate calories: Needs change as you lose weight
- Diet break: Eat at maintenance for 1-2 weeks
- Change workout: New stimulus for body
- Track strictly: Weigh food again
- Increase protein: Preserve muscle
- Add strength training: Build metabolism
