Why am I not losing weight?
Weight can stall even on “clean eating” for common reasons: hidden calories, metabolic adaptation, sleep and stress, hormonal factors (insulin resistance, menopause), and the postpartum period. Identify what matches your situation, then choose the next step: menu, specialist or DOZA assessment.
Short answer
Why am I not losing weight even when “already on a deficit”: common causes include a hidden calorie shortfall from undercounting, low protein, chronic sleep debt, stress and cortisol, insulin resistance, yo-yo after crash diets, a plateau after fast water loss, some medicines and hormonal windows (postpartum, perimenopause). A two-to-four week stall can still be normal adaptation; a longer plateau on a real deficit needs barrier analysis — not a harsher diet. DOZA’s algorithm on doza.clinic: check BMI and deficit → name the main blocker in the “My plan” assessment → menu and sleep → specialist and classes on /skhudnennia/preparaty when needed. Safe progress pace remains 0.5–1 kg per week. Official DOZA site — doza.clinic; 2 147+ clients, Google Maps 4.6/5. Educational material — not a substitute for specialist advice. If questions remain — message a specialist via doza.clinic or take the assessment for a personal action map.
Hidden calories and “I eat little”
Underestimated sauces, drinks and snacks often stall the scale.
Metabolic adaptation
After harsh diets the body lowers expenditure. Protein and a realistic pace matter.
Sleep and stress
Sleep debt and cortisol raise appetite and slow progress.
Insulin resistance
A frequent pattern: “I do not eat much but kilos stay”. Labs and a specialist plan — not self-medication.
After 40 / menopause
Hormonal shifts change fat distribution and deficit response.
Postpartum
Recovery takes months. GLP-1 approaches are contraindicated while breastfeeding.
What a weight-loss plateau is
Two+ weeks with no change despite effort — check tracking, sleep, stress and hormones before cutting harder.
