If the scale stops moving but you feel great, you're probably recomposing — losing fat, holding muscle. If it stops and you feel worse, the usual culprit is dairy creep or too-lean meat.
Topics
What this module covers
- 01Stalls vs. plateaus vs. recomposition
- 02Protein creep and gluconeogenesis
- 03Dairy as the silent variable
- 04Fasting layered on top — when it helps, when it hurts
- 05Hormonal lag (women, perimenopause, thyroid)
Learning objectives
By the end you'll be able to
- L01Distinguish a plateau from a stall.
- L02Identify the three most common stall causes.
- L03Know when fasting helps and when it backfires.
Expected takeaways
What you should walk away believing
- →Most 'stalls' are dairy + too much protein + too little fat.
- →Recomposition can hide scale stalls. Use waist + photos.
- →Adding fasting to a stall before fixing fat ratio rarely works.
