I will soon write about the science behind working past a weight loss plateau. But first, I wanted to provide a few more notes about my diet, plus a quick check-in on my weight loss.

When I wrote Health Hacking: Diet and Nutrition (Premium), I did so with great hesitation and fear: While the science is very clear, I am a layman, as many pointed out. So you have no reason to believe or trust me on this topic beyond the fact that I am, arguably, an expert in weight gain and thus have a real impetus to solve this problem. As I wrote before, it is very important that you do two things yourself: Read up on the science. And find a doctor who stays up on the science, not one that went to medical school years ago and stopped learning. This is on you.
