The scale was changing.
Now it has stayed almost the same for several weeks.
Before drastically cutting food or increasing exercise, try thinking about the situation in four areas:
1. Routine
Have eating patterns, portions or physical activity changed?
2. Daily life
Has sleep, work activity or the usual schedule changed?
3. Medical context
Medicines, medical conditions and other individual factors may influence body weight.
4. The bigger picture
Where clinically relevant, waist circumference, blood pressure, glucose measurements and other metabolic parameters may provide information beyond kilograms alone.
A weight plateau does not automatically mean extreme dietary restriction or unmonitored treatment changes are required.
At Dr. Apurva Gawai's Diabetes and Obesity Clinic, Kharghar, weight-related assessment is based on individual medical history, clinical findings and relevant health parameters.
Sometimes the appropriate next step is to review the overall situation rather than react only to the weighing scale.
