Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything right — eating well, sticking to your shakes, staying active — yet the scale just won’t budge?
Don’t panic — hitting a weight loss plateau is normal and happens to almost everyone at some point on their journey.
In this post, we’ll break down why plateaus happen and share practical, realistic tips to help you push through and keep seeing results.
Your body is smart — sometimes too smart! As you lose weight, your metabolism naturally slows down because you’re carrying less body mass. Plus, your body might adapt to your usual diet and exercise routine.
Other common reasons include:
The good news? Plateaus are temporary if you handle them the right way.
Even with meal replacements, it’s easy to forget that extra snacks or toppings add up. Try tracking your meals for a few days — you might be surprised!
Your body adapts to repetitive workouts. Add some strength training, increase your daily steps, or try a new class to wake up your metabolism.
Poor sleep and high stress can impact hormones like cortisol, making weight loss harder. Focus on winding down, getting 7–8 hours of quality sleep, and doing something relaxing daily.
Sometimes you’re thirsty, not hungry. Water helps digestion and keeps you feeling full. Aim for 1.5–2 litres per day — and remember your shakes count towards this too!
Slashing too many calories can backfire. Make sure you’re not dipping below healthy calorie levels — your body may hold onto fat as a survival response.
Feeling stuck? Try a different flavour or shake recipe to keep things exciting. Add fibre-rich ingredients like chia seeds (if it fits your plan) to help you stay fuller for longer.
Plateaus are frustrating, but beating yourself up won’t help. Focus on non-scale victories too — like how your clothes fit, your energy levels, or fitness progress.
