One of the biggest myths in weight loss is that progress should be steady from start to finish.
FYI-It won’t be.

As your body changes, your energy needs change too. Your body also naturally adapts to weight loss, becoming more efficient over time. That doesn’t mean your metabolism is “broken” or that you’ve suddenly stopped doing things correctly.

A plateau isn’t a sign to:
❌ Slash your calories
❌ Skip meals
❌ Give up because “it’s not working”

Instead, it’s an opportunity to check in with your habits.

The goal isn’t to avoid plateaus.
The goal is to understand them, and then respond with knowledge instead of frustration.

💡 Your Metabolic Takeaway: A plateau isn’t the end of your progress. It’s often the beginning of a smarter approach.

Have you ever experienced a weight loss plateau? What did you do next?

I’d love to hear your experience below. 👇

📝 That’s this week’s Metabolic Memo. See you next Tuesday.

POV: You skipped breakfast again because you “weren’t hungry” or you “didn’t have time.” 👀

Trust me... I hear this almost every day.
And before you decide to get on the intermittent fasting train, know that It’s a completely normal struggle to have for most people.

Mornings can feel rushed, your appetite isn’t always there, and making a full breakfast can feel like one more thing on an already busy to-do list.

That’s exactly why I love overnight oats. They take less than 2 minutes to throw together the night before, and when morning comes, breakfast is already waiting for you. No excuses and no decision fatigue!

You don’t need to be perfect. Sometimes you just need to make the healthy choice the easiest one.

🥣 Are you Team “No appetite” or Team “No time” in the mornings? Let me know below.

Eating less doesn’t always mean you’ll p**p the same..💩

One of the most common messages I get from people taking GLP-1 medications is:
“I’m hardly eating anything... so why am I so constipated?”

The answer is often fibre.

When your appetite decreases, your overall food intake usually drops too. That means you’re often eating less fibre than you realise.

Add in the fact that GLP-1 medications slow stomach emptying, and constipation can quickly become an unwanted side effect.

That’s why these snacks are a little different.
✅ Under 200 calories
✅ At least 5 g of fibre
✅ Weight-loss friendly
✅ Most include protein to help protect lean muscle while keeping you fuller for longer

A few reminders:
✔️ Increase your fibre gradually-don’t go from 10 g to 35 g overnight.
✔️ Drink plenty of water (fibre without fluid can make constipation worse).
✔️ Keep moving-regular walking can help stimulate your bowels too.

And one last thought: constipation isn’t something you just have to “put up with” on a GLP-1. A few simple nutrition changes can make a huge difference.

👇 Tell me—which snack are you trying first?

📌 Save this post for the next time your gut needs a little extra support.

When my client says “I’ve never been constipated before starting my GLP-1. What am I doing wrong?”.. my answer is usually short- probably nothing.

GLP-1 medications slow gastric emptying and overall gut motility as part of how they help control your appetite and improve blood glucose levels. But, this also means your digestion moves slower and when combined with eating less than usual, drinking less or suddenly increasing your fibre intake- can all contribute to constipation.

A simple place to start: Instead of stressing about adding more fibre, aim to eat regular and balanced meals and sipping fluids consistently throughout the day.

💡 Your Metabolic Memo take away: Constipation on a GLP-1 is a symptom to manage- not a sign that you’re doing something wrong.

💾 Save this next time you gut is asking for some support.

➡️ Part 2 explains why “just add fiber” can make things worse- see you next Tuesday for your Metabolic Memo.

If you stopped your GLP-1 injection and never told anyone, this one is for you.
You are not the only one doing that.

New data presented at ENDO 2026 followed just over 60 000 adults on GLP-1 therapy.

Around 41.5% had stopped within a year. Of the people who stopped, 53.6% were back on treatment within a year and 65.9% within two.

So the thing you have been quietly ashamed of is the most common pattern there is.

What I want you to hear: a pause is a clinical event, not a moral one, and it deserves a plan rather than silence.
- Tell your team before you stop.
- Protect your protein and your training so muscle is not what you lose.
- Expect to build up from a lower dose when you restart, because that is how it is meant to work.

You would not be starting over. You would be picking up where you paused.

📌 Save this for the version of you who might need it later.

🚨RED CARD!

Some habits are working against your weight loss goals-and it’s time they were sent off the pitch.

The good news is you don’t need to play a perfect game.

You just need to stop letting the same habits score against you over and over again.

Remember:
⚽ Progress beats perfection.
⚽ Consistency beats extremes.
⚽ Small daily wins always outperform short bursts of motivation.

👇 Which habit have you already given a red card this year?

The bread aisle makes so many people second guess themselves, and it really does not need to.

Brown is often just colour, so the loaf doing the real work is the one with the fibre and the whole grains near the top of the list.

💡Aim for 6g fibre or more per 100g, lean towards seeded and rye, and your gut, your blood sugar and your heart quietly benefit.

If your weight loss has slowed, please don’t panic!

Plateaus are not a sign that your body has stopped working.

They’re a normal part of the journey.

Before cutting calories again, ask yourself:

✔ Am I eating enough protein?
✔ Am I protecting my muscle?
✔ Am I sleeping enough?
✔ Am I staying consistent rather than chasing perfection?

Remember...

The goal isn’t to lose weight as fast as possible.

The goal is to lose it in a way that you can maintain for years.

📌 Your Metabolic Takeaway: Weight loss isn’t linear, and neither is health.

If you’ve ever hit a plateau, comment PLATEAU below-I might make a future Metabolic Memo answering your biggest questions.
