You’ve been doing great on your medical weight loss program—the pounds have been coming off steadily, your energy is up, and your clothes fit better. Then, suddenly, the scale stops moving for two or three weeks in a row.
It can feel frustrating, but here is the good news: a weight loss plateau is a completely normal part of the process.
Your body is simply taking a quick pause to adjust to its new, lighter weight. At Ziva Wellness MD, Dr. Vini Singh helps Scottsdale patients navigate these pauses easily. Here are three simple, practical ways we help get your progress moving again.
1. Check Your Daily Protein Intake
When you are taking medications like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, you eat smaller portions. If you aren’t getting enough protein within those smaller meals, your body can lose small amounts of muscle tissue, which slows down your natural daily calorie burn.
- Easy Fix:Focus on eating your protein first at every meal—such as chicken, fish, eggs, tofu, or a protein shake—before touching carbs or fats.
2. Add “Lipo” or Fat-Burner Boosters
Sometimes your metabolism just needs an extra nudge. At Ziva Wellness MD, we often integrate Skinny Shots (Lipotropic Injections) into patient routines. These shots contain key nutrients like B vitamins, methionine, inositol, and choline that help your liver break down stored fat more efficiently.

3. Fine-Tune Your Medication Dose
As your body adapts over time, your current dosage might need a slight tweak. Under the direct care of an Obesity Medicine specialist like Dr. Singh, we can safely adjust your medication timing or transition you smoothly from a single-hormone option (like Semaglutide) to a dual-action option (like Tirzepatide).
