Weight loss Plateaus – We know that short term fluctuations in weight do not represent fat loss and that lack of weight loss doesnt always mean lack of fat loss short term (fluctuations in water retention and or food volume can mask fat loss short term). – However if your weight consistently hasnt dropped for 2 to 3 weeks AND youve been consistently adhering to your diet and exercise regime..its more than likely you arent in a calorie deficit and you arent losing fat. – At this point you may want to consider reducing your calorie intake or increasing your expenditure i.e. eat less and/or move more to create a deficit. – Take home: – Plateaus are inevitable in successful weight loss. Your energy requirements will reduce as you lose weight meaning at some point you will have to reduce your calories to continue to lose weight. – You wont lose weight every week. Weight loss isnt linear. This is even more relevant to women who may put on weight during or prior to their period despite being in an energy deficit. – Dont drop your calories after a week of no weight loss or you will quickly find yourself on very low calories with nowhere to go
