Why plateaus happen
Adaptive thermogenesis, sarcopenia from inadequate protein, hormone shifts (low T, low estradiol, thyroid), poor sleep, GLP-1 receptor desensitisation, and stalled gastric emptying tolerance.
GLP-1 / Metabolic
GLP-1 weight loss plateau.
You lost 20 pounds and now nothing's moving. Plateaus on GLP-1s are predictable: muscle loss tanks metabolism, hormones drift, dose tolerance builds, sleep slips. The fix isn't pushing harder — it's getting smarter.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
+Should I switch from semaglutide to tirzepatide?
Often yes, when plateaued. Tirzepatide's dual mechanism frequently restarts loss.
+Will I gain it back if I stop?
Without muscle, hormones and habits in place, yes. With them, much less likely.
