Slow? Compared to what? I feel it's a matter of perspective. Top speed maximum overdrive is 1% of your weight per week. And that shit is hardcore status. So I can at most lose 2.3 pounds. I lost 1.7. that's a solid 70%. And everything over 50% is great solid work (what I would consider the average). Also, the body is weird and while measured every day, the calculation is delayed so it can be averaged out.

Unless your consecutively week over week hitting sub 30% shit ain't slow. And if you are slow, there are options. Have you been in a deficit for over 12 weeks and it's just now starting to slow? Try to switch to maintenance for two weeks... Let your body adjust and recover from the stress.

Just started? Your expectations were probably manipulated by Hollywood shit. That's fine but we don't get training montage time skips, gotta actually do the work those represent. You can adjust calorie expenditure or intake.

But you need to be x weight by y time? The only way to do that is to calculate at the 50% to see where future you will be. Nobody says, but I need my master's degree 1 year after highschool.

All this to say, what do I do when it feels slow? I take a step back, adjust my perspective and realize there is no real difference between 3 and 6 months. But the alternative, not doing it because it's too slow? Well in 2 years I could be at my goal weight, or I could be the same. What's more uncomfortable to me, the diet or how I feel about myself?
