A weight loss plateau on the Wegovy pill is common after the first few weeks. Most plateaus happen because calorie intake slowly rises, protein drops, weekend eating increases, or activity falls. The fastest way to break a stall is a 7-day reset: tighten meal structure, increase protein, reduce liquid calories, walk daily, and track portions for one week.
Why Plateaus Happen on Wegovy Oral Tablets
Even with a GLP-1 weight loss pill, your body adapts:

• Your calorie needs reduce as you get lighter
• Appetite control becomes ‘normal’ over time
