Hit a plateau after six months — what helped you get through it?

People who pushed through plateaus describe them as normal and usually temporary; what helped most was tracking honestly for two weeks, adding strength training, prioritizing protein and sleep, and discussing options with their doctor instead of making solo changes.

Did the 'food noise' come back for anyone after it went quiet?

Several members report food noise returning partially during dose changes, high stress or poor sleep; strategies that helped include planned meals, protein at breakfast, naming the thoughts, and raising it with their doctor rather than treating it as personal failure.
