I started losing weight after a few days of dieting

In the first 1-2 weeks of weight loss, your weight will decrease significantly, and this period is mainly due to the loss of water in the body. However, after 3-4 weeks, the rate of weight loss sometimes slows down and the weight may remain completely constant. When the weight is reduced to a certain level, in order to stop losing body fat, the human body will naturally reduce the basal metabolic rate and inhibit further weight loss, even if the body eats less but the utilization efficiency is high.

Almost everyone who has tried to lose weight has a common experience, which is that their weight drops dramatically in the first two weeks of dieting, which is really delightful. But after the fourth or fifth week, they still encountered a hurdle and their weight did not move forward. Some people felt confused, some lost confidence, and some even gave up halfway and cancelled their weight loss plans.

In fact, the fourth and fifth weeks are indeed a hurdle in weight loss. As long as you can get through this hurdle, the prospects of weight loss will surprise you. So why does the phenomenon of weight loss stagnation occur? It turns out that in the first two weeks of weight loss, calorie intake is strictly controlled, while calorie consumption continues as usual. This results in a lack of calories, so the body has to use the body fat to convert it into heat energy to meet the body's survival needs.

Therefore, people's weight actually drops during this stage, and the water stored in the body of obese people is also discharged, so the weight drops significantly. But by the fourth and fifth weeks, not only does a person's calorie intake continue to decrease, but the body's metabolism also slows down, and the body's calorie consumption also decreases, forming a stagnation period in which the weight neither increases nor decreases. It would be a pity if you give up on losing weight at this hurdle. The best way is to continue dieting and lose weight, while supplementing it with exercise therapy to increase the body's metabolic rate and consume body fat. Then the weight loss stagnation period will quickly pass, allowing people to regain confidence in losing weight.

If the stagnation period lasts for more than one month, it may be that the 75-step weight loss method is not suitable, and it is necessary to fundamentally revise the diet and exercise plan for the weight loss period again.
