Hit a plateau after a month. Not sure why I can’t get out of it
That’s not much to go on friend, any more details you can give?
Sometimes plateaus are just something to work through. That can mean just sticking with it, re-examining all the aspects and numbers, or taking a break.
Otherwise if nothing else is going on, you’re ultimately either in a surplus, maintenance, or deficit and will gain, maintain, or lose accordingly. So if you’re not losing weight, then you’re eating too much.
I’ve been losing weight for over a year and now am just maintaining because I’m happy with my current weight. The way I’ve always avoided Plateaus is by overeating every two weeks. Now I do it every week. I don’t mean binge eat until you stomach churns, I mean eat about 300 calories above the calories you use up in a day. This helps the body recognize that it is getting enough food to keep burning the same amount of calories without slowing down.
If you are at a caloric deficit for a whole month without ever consuming more calories, your body will adapt to the calories you are giving it, thus creating a plateau. I don’t think an extended fast would help, but that’s an uneducated opinion.
