October 3, 2008, Newsletter Issue #136: The three reasons for not losing weight

Tip of the Week

The "not losing weight" condition is called weight loss plateau if it occurs after a period of successful weight loss. What happens? There usually are three major reasons.



1. Your body resists going below the fat % you currently have because it has its own idea of what weight is good for. To have some extra pounds for the rainy days is a bliss for any living creature and your body can perceive itself just as such.



2. You didn't make changes in your diet and exercise plan for too long period of time. The body adapts to whatever regimen you stick with and starts taking it easier.



3. You forgot that your calories and carb grams were good for your former, heavier body. Now, when you lost some of the weight, in order to keep the negative calorie balance, you have to burn more calories and carbs. You already know how to burn calories. Now, you should learn that to burn carbs, you need to intensify your weight training.
