Weight loss plateaus, and how to break through.
Don't let a plateau derail your progress. It is one of the most commonly discussed topics when we meet with patients switching over from a different telehealth provider. They are normal, and with proper dosing and support, you will too break through.
Here are 2 strategies to overcome plateaus and keep moving forward:
Understanding Weight Loss Plateaus
Firstly, it's essential to understand why weight loss plateaus occur. Your body adjusts to changes in diet, exercise, and medication, slowing down its metabolic rate. What once led to consistent weight loss might not yield the same results over time. This adjustment period can cause temporary pauses in weight reduction, even with continued efforts.
1. Change up your routine
Your body may have adapted to your current exercise and dietary regimen, leading to a plateau. Shake things up by trying new workouts, altering your meal plans, or adjusting your semaglutide dosage under medical guidance. Our doctors can help with all of this. This is why we offer unlimited visits with our membership!
2. Focus on non-scale victories
Sometimes, the scale doesn't reflect the progress you've made. Celebrate other achievements like increased energy levels, improved fitness, or better fitting clothes. These victories can provide the motivation needed to push through plateaus. It sounds funny, but take progress photos — looking back will surprise you.
Plateaus can be frustrating, but they're a natural part of the process. Don't let them discourage you; instead, let's explore strategies to overcome these hurdles and keep your progress moving forward.
