After a few weeks of dieting do you experience trouble losing more weight?
Here are 4 reasons why the human body adapts to our workouts that can contribute to slow weight loss.
1. Physiological effects: a decrease in metabolic rate after we reduce our calorie intake, caused from loss of protein & hormonal changes.
2. Exercise effects, our energy system when we continually do the same exercise-less calories are burned because it’s no longer the same challenge as it was when we were first learning. Now our energy expenditure is less and we burn less calories.
3. Exercising too hard too soon forces cells to burn more carbohydrates and less fat.
4. Rapid reduction of food intake triggers starvation mode lowers metabolism quickly Skipping meals too often may produce intense food cravings caused by lower blood sugar levels.
