5 Causes to Eat Less But Weight Has Not Lose

Although trying to eat less, the weight has not been reduced.

1. The body enters the "energy-saving" system (Starvation Mode).

When we eat too little for a long time in a row, the body thinks that we are facing starvation. What it does is to reduce metabolism to survive and retain as much fat as possible. It turns out that the less we eat, the more the metabolism is broken.

2. Eat less, but "latent calories" is high.

Maybe we eat less volume, but what we eat gives us a lot of energy without knowing it.

Fresh coffee with 1 glass of milk / syrup (may be up to 200-300 calories)

Cream dressings or sauces

A small toy during the day.

The idea: "little food" is not always equal to "little calories."

3. Underestimating calories

According to research, most people tend to estimate the amount of calories they eat 30-50% lower than reality. Verbal eye shifts can cause us to accidentally exceed calories.

4. Stagnant weight. May be "muscle" or "water."

If you also have physical activity, non-reducing weight may not mean that fat does not reduce. The body may be building muscle to replace lost fat or temporary swelling from stress and inflammatory muscles from rehearsals.

It is recommended to observe "proportions" or "looser clothes" instead of looking at the numbers on the scales alone.

5. Cumulative stress and not getting enough sleep

When we eat too little or are stressed with weight loss, the body secretes the hormone Cortisol, which stimulates the body to accumulate fat (especially in the belly) and causes the body to retain more water.
