How many weeks is considered a weight loss plateau?
I've been working out and eating right for a few months, but my weight loss has stopped. I hear about a 'weight loss plateau' – how many weeks of no progress is that typically considered?

If your weight hasn't moved for 4 consecutive weeks, it is a plateau. Don't panic, just adjust your daily calorie intake and try to increase your activity levels.

Usually, 3 to 4 weeks of no weight change is considered a plateau. Make sure you are tracking your food accurately and getting enough sleep, as stress can also halt progress.

My doctor told me that a true weight loss plateau is at least 4 weeks with zero change in scale weight or body measurements. Sometimes your body is just recomposing, so don't lose heart.

It is about 3 to 4 weeks. My daughter went through this and got very frustrated, but we just changed her workout routine a bit and her weight started dropping again.
