What’s the best way to break a weight loss stall?

I’ve been cutting for a while and the scale hasn’t moved in two weeks. I can’t tell if it’s a real stall or just normal water weight swings.

What did you change to get things moving again?

first thing i’d check is if you’re actually stalled or just holding water

I wait 3 to 4 weeks of flat weekly averages before touching anything, because water swings can hide fat loss for a while.

two weeks flat could be either, so i’d check your weekly average before changing anything. mine barely moved for about 2 weeks once and then dropped 2 lbs overnight, it was just water. . if the average is still flat after a 3rd week, i’d cut like 100 to 150 calories or add some daily steps, not both at once
