Summary:
What would you do if you’re losing weight and all of a sudden: you don’t? Did you consider looking deeper into the data?
Reading time: 1 minute

Below a real conversation and actual numbers to show 1 possible approach.

😰 Client: ‘I feel frustrated I didn’t lose weight for 2 weeks.’
πŸ‘¨πŸΌβ€πŸ’» Me: [ digs around in #data ]

🧐 Also me: ‘Why did you eat 30 grams of extra fat per day?’
πŸ₯³ Client: ‘It was going so well, so #freestyling

πŸ‘¨πŸΌβ€πŸ’» Me: [ further analyses #data ]

πŸ€“ Also me: ‘This would exactly explain your plateau.’
πŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈ Me: ‘Consider to go back to the original macro proposal’

🫑 Client: [ goes into #executionmode ]

βœ… -1.3 kg in total weight
βœ… -1.5 kg in Fat Mass
βœ… +0.2 kg in Lean Body Mass
βœ… ‘AΜΆVΜΆEΜΆRΜΆAΜΆGΜΆEΜΆ’ ➑️ ‘FITNESS’ body category

The plot:
πŸ‘‰πŸ» Weight loss is a data driven science
πŸ‘‰πŸ» Weight maintenance isn’t (but that’s for a different day)
πŸ‘‰πŸ» When you #plateau: don’t blame yourself, but look deeper
πŸ‘‰πŸ» Become #MetabolicallyFlexible to make adjustments easier

πŸ’ͺ🏻 Stay healthy. Do it smarter.
