A real question from r/intermittentfasting that deserves a real answer. Not generic advice — specific steps.
F33 I started at 78 kg and then I was doing 18:6 dropping 0.5-0.4kg per day I was very happy and then I stuck in 75.6 for almost 2 months I am in the same number, I need advice because I change to 20:4 and I am struggling cause I so hungry but even with that change the number in the scale is the same. I feel defeated.
Weight loss plateaus are common, frustrating, but normal. Your body slows metabolism to adapt to weight loss, but this can be overcome with patience and adjusting your approach.
We've all been there - the dreaded weight loss plateau. It's so frustrating when the scale suddenly stops moving, no matter how hard you're working. But I want you to know that this is completely normal and you're not alone. Hitting a plateau is just part of the process for most people. The reason this happens is that your body is incredibly smart and efficient. As you lose weight, your metabolism actually starts to slow down to compensate. It's trying to hold onto the weight to ensure your survival. So the tactics that worked so well in the beginning start to become less effective over time. The good news is there are some proven strategies you can use to power through this. First, try the Plateau Reset System from our guide. This involves a strategic calorie cycling approach to shock your body out of the plateau. You'll alternate higher and lower calorie days to reset your metabolism. Pair that with the Hydration Protocol to keep your body flushed and functioning optimally. Another important step is to recalculate your numbers. Your original calorie and macro targets may no longer be accurate now that your body composition has changed. Revisit the formulas and make any necessary adjustments. Then layer on the Progressive Protocol, gradually increasing the intensity and volume of your workouts to keep driving progress. When you get this right, the scale will start moving again and you'll finally break through that frustrating plateau. More importantly, you'll reignite your metabolism and give your body the kickstart it needs to reach your ultimate goal weight. Stay patient, trust the process, and know that better days are ahead.
