Plateau

[ToriMJ]

I've stopped losing weight! I'm having about 900 cals a day. Why have I stopped losing weight?!?!!

If you're eating 900 cals a day, unless you are a new born baby you will be losing weight

I wish people wouldnt invent words to describe natural fluctations of the body in terms of weight but also just the peculiarity of scales. Mine currently show me as a couple of pounds heavier than a few weeks ago which I ignore because my clothes are loser. Its water for me, because of the heat, I swell up like a balloon

Are you eating that low because you have had weight loss surgery? How far post op are you?

Its not a plateau, not a stall, not anything, just carry on as you are

If you are not post op and doing a vlcd, then just also make sure you are ensuring you get enough fluids, enough protein pro rata to your calories and taking supplements where necessary

I echo the above. Hotter weather, time of month, a rich meal (more salt), alcohol can all be the cause for water retention hence weight “gain” or “plateau”.

Also plateau is when you’re not losing any weight for at least 6 weeks. If it’s less than that, it’s normal body composition/weight fluctuations.

PS 900 cal is way too little!

You need to give much more context if you want any meaningful posts.

900 calories is way too low and you risk making yourself ill.
