😰 Client: ‘I feel frustrated I didn’t lose weight for 2 weeks.’
👨🏼‍💻 Me: [ digs around in #data ]

🧐 Also me: ‘Why did you eat 30 grams of extra fat per day?’
🥳 Client: ‘It was going so well, so #freestyling

👨🏼‍💻 Me: [ further analyses #data ]

🤓 Also me: ‘This would exactly explain your plateau.’

🇫🇷 <french_accent>A few moments later</french_accent>:

✅ -1.3 kg in total weight
✅ -1.5 kg in Fat Mass
✅ +0.2 kg in Lean Body Mass
✅ ‘A̶V̶E̶R̶A̶G̶E̶’ ➡️ ‘FITNESS’ body category

The plot:
👉🏻 Weight loss is a data driven science
👉🏻 Weight maintenance isn’t (but that’s for a different day)
👉🏻 When you #plateau: don’t blame yourself, but look deeper
👉🏻 Become #MetabolicallyFlexible to make adjustments easier

💪🏻 Stay healthy. Do it smarter.
