Chapter 15 — Fitness & Exercise
Why has my weight loss stalled?
Almost always creeping calories back up, exercise adaptation (burning less over time), water retention (period, stress, sodium), or plain water loss reversal. Adjust honestly by 100–200 calories, be patient, sleep more.
Follow-up questions
Diet break — good idea?
Yes — 1–2 weeks at maintenance calories every 8–12 weeks preserves metabolism and sanity.
Should I try Ozempic?
GLP-1 drugs work for many. Require prescription, cost significantly, and weight often returns off-drug. Best combined with lifestyle change.
