In the platform period of weight loss, in the initial stage of weight loss, you can lose weight by generally increasing exercise (no matter what kind of exercise) or reducing the intake of a certain amount of diet.

But once the body adapts to this change, it will adapt to the phenomenon, absorb food calories as much as possible and use them most effectively, and at the same time reduce the basal metabolic rate and energy consumption, so that the calories reach a new equilibrium state and the weight will no longer drop. This situation is called platform period.

Losing weight is normal. Everyone will have a plateau in the process of losing weight, but the length of time is different. Some people only have a week, others have a few months. But what is certain is that as long as we persist in losing weight and break through the platform period, our weight will continue to decline.

Extended data:

However, after entering the platform period, because the body fat is relatively small, the weight loss will be very small. After the platform period, some people think that they can no longer lose weight, so they lose confidence and patience and give up losing weight.

For example, the way to lose weight is to control diet, so we should increase the amount of exercise while controlling diet; Or adjust the diet type without changing the total diet, eat less meat, eat more vegetables such as celery (leaves), rape, leek, Chinese cabbage, carrot, lentil, pea, eggplant, green pepper, and replace some polished rice and white flour with fresh corn, sweet potato, potato, red bean and mung bean.

Drink no less than 2 liters of water every day. In addition, fungus, kelp and so on. They are all foods that are beneficial to reducing fat, and it is best to drink skim milk when drinking milk. In short, after losing weight enters the platform period, it is better to increase the intensity of the original method, so it is easier to break through the platform period.
