Weight loss injections like Wegovy (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) have revolutionised obesity treatment. However, it’s not uncommon for users to hit a plateau—a period where weight loss stalls despite continued treatment.
Why Plateaus Happen
Plateaus are a natural part of weight loss. As your body adjusts to lower weight and caloric intake, metabolism slows. Hormonal shifts, less physical activity, or underestimating food intake can all contribute.
Common Signs of a Plateau
-
Weight stays the same for 2–4 weeks
-
No changes in body measurements
-
Persistent fatigue or hunger
Strategies to Overcome It
-
Reassess Caloric Intake – As you lose weight, your body needs fewer calories. Adjust your meal plans accordingly.
-
Boost Physical Activity – Try interval training or strength workouts to ignite metabolism.
-
Monitor Hidden Calories – Sugar in drinks, sauces, and snacks can sneak in unnoticed.
-
Cycle Your Routine – Sometimes a slight dietary change can reset your system.
