Understanding Medication Plateaus
Let’s talk about plateaus, because yes, they’re normal.
Whether you're on GLP-1 medications (semaglutide, tirzepatide) or another weight-loss plan, almost everyone hits a point where progress slows.
A plateau doesn’t mean the medication stopped working, it means your body is adjusting.
Here’s what could be happening:
⚖️ Your metabolism is recalibrating
💪 You’re losing fat but gaining or maintaining muscle
🍽️ Your appetite has stabilized (good thing!)
🧬 Your body needs a dose adjustment or routine tweak
Plateaus are part of the journey, not the end of it.
Your provider may adjust your dose, update your nutrition targets, or focus more on movement and protein to kick-start progress again.
Remember: Slow + steady weight loss leads to long-term success.
