A study found that individuals with overweight and obesity who hit a weight loss plateau after 6 months on a healthy diet may not lose further weight by switching to a different diet. The research, conducted on participants with overweight and obesity who switched between healthy low-carb and low-fat diets, found that weight loss slowed after the initial 3 months and plateaued after 6 months, regardless of diet change. This suggests that the weight loss plateau at around 6 months is physiological and cannot be overcome by switching diets alone. The study, published in Scientific Reports by Stanford University researchers, suggests a change in approach may be needed for successful weight maintenance.
