How long can the weight loss stagnation period last?
Stagnation usually does not last long, usually 2-3 weeks to a month or so.

1. Many people who lose weight lose a lot in the first month, but suddenly they don't lose weight in the second month, so they are discouraged and even give up their original weight loss methods. This is a pity, because it is only a "stagnation period" in the process of losing weight. As long as they survive this period, their weight will continue to drop.

2. The physiological function of human body is mysterious, and it has some protective functions. When we reduce the intake of calories in order to lose weight, after a period of time, our bodies will adapt, absorb the intake of food calories as much as possible and make the most effective use of them, while reducing the basal metabolic rate and energy consumption, so that the calories will reach a new balance and the weight will no longer drop.

3. The best way to overcome stagnation is to increase exercise, because exercise can improve our metabolic rate and increase the consumption of calories. After a period of time, the weight will drop again.

The reason for getting fat is that there is something wrong with living habits, or eating too much or exercising too little. Usually, you should exercise more and eat less high-calorie food. In order to effectively achieve weight loss effect.
