Has your fat loss stalled?
What’s going on? Is this the dreaded weight loss plateau?
Here are 3 things that could be happening:
💦 Water Loss
Typically when you go on a ‘diet’ you’ll be eating less carbs. For every gram of carb you ingest, your body holds onto 4g of water.
So if you’re eating less carbs, your body will initially release water weight. This is NOT fat loss (altho it’s encouraging!).
This will slow down and your weight can even go UP if you have a treat meal or eat more carbs one day.
💪🏻Your body burns more than just FAT
Sadly, you can’t tell your body to ‘just’ burn fat. You’ll burn a little muscle along with fat when you go on a ‘diet’.
Especially if you lower your calories too much, or you don’t eat the proper balance of macro nutrients, your body will tend to burn muscle as fuel.
Your muscle is metabolically active, so if/when you use your muscles as fuel, you have less calorie burning capabilities.
𐄷 When you weigh less you sometimes burn less calories
Typically, as you loss weight, your body needs less energy to get by, so you’ll have to either do more to burn more or eat less calories.
But, the secret is finding the right equation for your nutrition that will BUILD your metabolism so that as you get leaner, you don’t tank your metabolism.
I was able to do that with my own nutrition. 👊🏻💥
With the help of a coach (because even coaches need coaches!), we worked with my intake to slowly build up my metabolism.
Now I’m eating more than I have in years and I dropped 6 lbs 😀
My strength and energy are thru the roof ⬆
