Explanation of common nouns in weight loss activities?
1.? Weight loss platform period

Platform means bottleneck. No matter how to lose weight, to a certain extent, there will be weight stagnation. Some people will lose weight for a week or two, while others will lose weight for several months. The platform period of losing weight is a stage that dieters must go through, and it is the embodiment of human self-protection and human adaptability. At this time, as long as we stick to it and make appropriate adjustments to the weight loss methods, such as adding some anaerobic exercise on the basis of aerobic exercise and making some adjustments to the diet structure, it is only a matter of time before we break through the platform period.
