🚨 Before you panic about a plateau…
Menstrual cycles can cause:
• Temporary water weight gain
• Increased cravings
• Slower digestion changes
• Scale fluctuations
Illness can also:
• Raise cortisol
• Affect hydration
• Change appetite signals
These shifts can make progress feel slower — even when your long-term trend is still moving forward.
Remember: fat loss is not linear. The body responds to hormones, stress, sleep, and inflammation.
If changes persist beyond 2–3 weeks, a medical review may help optimize your plan safely.
Consistency > perfection
