subject: Wondering Why Did I Stop Losing Weight? [print this page]


If you are asking the question, why did I stop losing weight, you will probably have started to eat a healthy diet. You might even be doing exercise and perhaps it has been working perfectly. So, what has changed, or what are you doing that might cause you to stop.

If you look at how the body works, you will notice that when you eat you actually lose weight. Perhaps when you started out, you started eating a lot less. This is fine if you are overweight, because you needed to burn more calories than you consume.

If you are aiming to lose weight the one thing that you should keep in mind is that you should only lose up to three pounds a week, so you have to set your end goal around this number. Any diet that promises faster weight loss than this is not likely to be healthy for you. It's better to lose weight steadily than yo-yo up and down.

You will then have to make sure that you do not lose fat too quickly, because if you do, you will only put that fat back on in a few months, or you will stop seeing results and you will have to reset.

Being on a diet will help you, but you should not be on a diet in the traditional sense of the word. You should consume six smaller meals each day, and also take note of your fat and calorie intake - other than that, EAT!

When you lift weights you should actually gain weight according to a scale, because muscle weighs more than fat. If you have no change, then you are actually losing fat weight as you gain muscle weight. All these things have to be taken into account when you look at weight loss and why you might not be losing weight as fast as you used to.
