Break a Fat-Loss Plateau

Recovery comic · August 15, 2026 · 6 slides

To overcome a fat-loss plateau, track weekly weight averages over two weeks rather than reacting to daily scale fluctuations. Keep daily activity levels steady and audit untracked calories from snacks, drinks, and sauces. Only reduce food intake by 100 to 200 calories if progress remains stalled after two consistent weeks.

The GainFrame mascot steps onto a scale while pushing against a horizontal bar, introducing tips to break a weight-loss plateau.
