S3E4 Explaining weight loss plateaus

Encountering a weight loss plateau is very common and as frustrating as it is, it can be overcome with persistence, knowledge and support.
Try to be patient. After all, weight loss is rarely linear. Keep doing what you are doing, knowing you are doing the right thing, and your weight will usually move again but, if you have been stuck in a plateau for longer than you think you should be, re-evaluate. Reassess if anything has changed, tweak your diet and exercise routine if you need too and seek support if you need regular accountability and someone to keep you motivated.
