When losing weight, the hardest part is getting rid of the last few pounds.
This is called the plateau effect. If such a temporary stop in weight loss occurs, it means that the weight loss method needs to be adjusted.
Obesity researcher Nick Fuller spoke about this.
The doctor also listed ways to help you continue losing weight, ScienceAlert writes.
First of all, as the doctor noted, you need to watch the portion sizes. In the morning, the body burns calories more efficiently. Therefore, breakfasts can be more substantial, but dinners should be light.
When losing weight, you can't rely on diet alone. Physical activity is important.
Another piece of advice from Fuller is to rethink your weight loss goal. For example, if you exercise regularly, your muscle-to-fat ratio will change. Your weight may increase because muscle is heavier than fat.
In addition, it would not be superfluous to review the diet. If the weight has stopped, then you need to eat 10 percent less than usual. At the same time, the body should not starve.
It is also very important to reduce the level of stress for the body. It is stress that can prevent weight loss. The doctor noted that the best way to combat stress is physical exercise.
