a Real Problem Temporary (normal wait it out): Stable weight but clothes fitting better / measurements still dropping Just moved to a new dose within the last 23 weeks Energy is good, appetite is suppressed Daily weigh-ins fluctuating in a narrow range Worth investigating: 4+ weeks at the exact same weight with no change in body composition Appetite fully returned or food noise is back Getting side effects at a dose that used to be comfortable Significant muscle loss (strength dropping in the gym) --- How to Break Through a Retatrutide Plateau Step 1: Audit Your Actual Intake Before changing anything, track honestly for 35 days: Protein target: 1.82.2g per kg of bodyweight (or 180200g/day for most adults) Total calories should be 300500 below your TDEE not more If you're under 1,200 calories/day, add calories back strategically (lean protein first) Step 2: Add Zone 2 Cardio 2030 minutes of Zone 2 daily (conversational pace you can speak in full sentences) is the most effective adjunct to GLP-1 fat loss: Directly increases fat oxidation rate Improves insulin sensitivity, amplifying Reta's GIP effects Mitochondrial volume improves, increasing baseline energy burn Doesn't increase hunger the way high-intensity cardio does This alone often restarts a stalled scale
