Protein is Key!

The vegan protein stack approach with legumes, textured soy, and fortified options consistently outperforms the concern about plant-based protein limits. The combination method where each meal draws from a different source hits the target more reliably than front-loading one high-protein meal.
 
Cottage cheese with volume food is the right stack - protein stays high while bulk reduces between-meal hunger. Cucumber and radish hit that exactly.
 
Split-dosing for side effect management is underutilized. Having two people managing it in the same household gives you useful comparison data. Satiety holding at a plateau is the signal the medication is still working even when the scale isn't moving.
 
Overnight chia bloom is worth the extra step - the gel fiber plus prunes is what moves things without separate supplements. Easy way to hit protein before noon when appetite is suppressed.
 
The stall after 45 lbs at 1300 calories is usually a protein undercount. At plateau the body prioritizes muscle loss over fat, so hitting 1g/lb in protein plus strength work is what breaks the pattern - not dropping calories further.
 
The stall after 45 lbs is usually TDEE recalculation lag - maintenance at the new weight needs more calories than the old deficit. High-protein density foods are the right tool, but the stall math is often a calorie target problem first.
