The real reason why your no longer losing weight eating 1200 calories..
Is it normal to lose weight when starting a diet then for weight loss to stop?
Is it normal for you to gain weight around your cycle?
Is it normal for weight to fluctuate 1-2% daily?
Is it normal to hit a plateau?
Yes.. it’s 100% normal and it’s not your fault..
This is your body’s in build self defence system and it’s sole focus is not to get you lean and slimmer in your bikini.
It’s sole focus is to restore your body’s depleted energy reserves.
As you know if you’ve been following my content for long enough the only way to lose weight is by a calorie deficit aka an energy deficit.
Simply put:
You can eat less energy aka calories
Or you can burn more calories aka walk more/train more
When you start a new diet your most likely restricting calories (well if you’re losing weight you definitely are) or else you wouldn’t be losing weight.
Your body needs the energy your taking away from it (by eating less or training more) so once it notices it’s missing energy your body’s main defence system jumps in to limit energy deletion because it needs this energy for your organs to function.
The term is called ‘metabolic adaptation’.
The result of your body’s defence system is a slow in your over all metabolic rate which means that those 1200 calories you were once eating and you were once losing weight on easily will no longer work because your body has become much more efficient in preserving energy in order to prevent weight loss.
