Stage 6 of 9
Plateaus
A plateau is a normal part of the picture, not a verdict on your effort. The nutrition question during one is usually about muscle and protein, not about eating less.
Questions worth asking your clinician
Take these with you. Appointments are short, and the things that matter most are easy to forget once you are in the room.
- Is this plateau expected at this stage?
- Is there anything in my current intake you would change?
- How are we keeping an eye on muscle rather than just weight?
