According to Brian LaMar, MD, PPG – Weight Management & Bariatric Surgery, weight loss plateaus are common. This can be for several reasons, but the physiological explanation is that, as you lose body weight, your body requires extra energy and burns fewer calories.
If you notice your weight loss as slowed or stalled, you can try the following strategies*:
- Adjusting calorie intake
- Adjusting dietary approach or foods
- Increasing activity level or exercise type
- Adjusting medication
*Always consult with your provider or weight management care team before making any changes to your plan.
