Bypassing the queue: In a standard meal, different nutrients compete for transport proteins to get into the blood
Clinically, good progress can look like: Waist circumference reducing Better fasting glucose / HbA1c (especially for diabetes/prediabetes) Improved blood pressure and lipids Less snacking, fewer cravings, better satiety Better energy and sleep consistency Plateaus: why they happen and what to do A plateau is common after the initial phase because: Your body requires fewer calories at a lower weight Hunger signals can adapt over time Activity levels sometimes drop (subconsciously) when intake is lower What helps plateaus most: Strength training 24x/week Higher protein (discuss target with your clinician/dietitian) Consistent steps or low-intensity movement Fixing hidden calories (liquid calories, weekend drift) Reviewing dose tolerance and meal patterns with your clinician Plateau doesnt mean the medication stopped working.
