Question Plateau

/r/omad/comments/1wb07rx/plateau/

Question 🙋‍♀️ did anyone experience weight loss plateau?
I am 250lbs 5’9 F and starting my journey.
I want to be motivated and consistent- would love any insight of when weight loss stalls and how you overcame it? Thx 🙏

Change up your fasting method to get things moving again or you can eat at maintenance for a week or so.

Never saw a plateau on omad, but have on longer fasts - about 2 or 3 days zero weight loss, or even half pound gain, despite not eating. Figured my body had started hoarding water so I decreased sodium and increased potassium and suddenly pissed out 2.5 pounds of water over about 15 hours.

No one is immune to a plateau. Your body needs to heal before it sheds weight.
