If you are trying to lose weight quickly but then find yourself in a stalemate where you can’t lose weight, don’t worry too much.

It is normal that when you have been on a diet for some time there is no longer the same weight loss, rather that you slow down or even stop and you are unable to lose weight.

Let’s see how to improve or to solve the problem.

The deadlock in weight loss

As I told you, it is quite normal to lose weight, especially after some time has passed since the beginning of the diet.

The situation usually starts with a significant loss of time, in the first weeks, and then with a stalemate or a noticeable decrease in the loss even continuing with fewer calories and physical activity.

The metabolism, accelerated by the diet, at the beginning loses a lot of fat thanks also to glycogen which is a polymer that is found in fat and which, decreasing, allows you to lose a lot of water initially. This effect, however, is temporary and in the stalled phase the metabolism slows down and you have to give a boost to diet and physical activity by increasing the metabolism again.

How to break the deadlock

When you are stalled you have to ask yourself if this stall is okay, in the sense that you have reached your target weight or you want to lose some more weight.

If you decide to lose weight then I will give you some advice.

Reassess your habits.  Try to remember what you eat, try to remember portions and try to eat a little less, at set times, just as you should think about exercising permanently. Make a schedule to stick to.

Cut more calories . If you are already on a low calorie diet, remember to lower a 1200 calorie diet by 200 calories per day. Once we reach 1000 calories, our body will continue to lose, whatever the length of time passes.

Review your training.  Increase the time of the exercises and also the quality of the exercises to lose weight more.

Do more things outdoors during the day . Think about exercising beyond the gym. Try walking to work or taking long walks in the park.

Conclusions

If your efforts do not help improve the deadlock in your diet, try chatting with your GP or dietician to figure out which strategy to use.

Also because if you are already on a good diet and you are also training consistently this is already a victory for your health.

When you do something to improve your person from being overweight, this already helps our body to live better, without the problems of being overweight.

Whatever happens, don’t give up and don’t go back to bad habits.

This can lead you to weigh again as before, in fact.

And instead you just have to be satisfied with the success obtained even if only by improving your habits.
