Weight Loss Plateau: Causes and Solutions

Author: Gözde Akın · Medical Review

During weight loss, quick results come initially, but at some point the scale stalls. This "plateau period" is a natural biological defense mechanism.

Why Does Plateau Occur?

• Metabolic adaptation

• Muscle loss

• Monotonous nutrition

• Insufficient water and sleep

How to Overcome Plateau?

• Change food quality, not calorie amount

• Increase daily steps

• Add 1-2 "refeed days" per week

• Keep protein intake balanced

• Accept the process with patience

Conclusion

The plateau period is not an end, but the body's rebalancing phase.
