I believe most people have experienced the same situation: weight regain after dieting. The weight you worked so hard to lose comes right back, which is really frustrating. So, what are some good ways to prevent weight regain after dieting?
The duration of a weight loss plateau varies from person to person; some experience it for only a few weeks, while others may experience it for several months. However, it's certain that as long as you persevere with your weight loss efforts and break through the plateau, your weight will continue to decrease. However, once you enter a plateau, the rate of weight loss will be much smaller because you have relatively less body fat.
Weight loss plateaus are a common experience for most dieters, and many give up at this point, failing to maintain their progress and resulting in rebound weight gain. Therefore, if you persevere through a plateau, you're one of the winners. Remember, "Not rebounding during a plateau is progress!"
Have you hit a weight loss plateau? If you've been sticking to your diet for more than two weeks and haven't seen any changes in your weight or measurements, you can check these important but easily overlooked aspects:
1) Simply dieting while neglecting exercise can easily lead to muscle loss, a decreased metabolic rate, and reduced digestion. The body will automatically adjust and return to a state of calorie intake/expenditure balance, at which point weight loss will naturally stop. What you need to do at this point is gradually resume your normal diet, increase exercise, and restore a vigorous metabolic state.
2) Extreme dieting and exercise. This puts too much strain on the body and is very likely to disrupt bodily functions, resulting in no weight loss. What you need to do at this time is to consume enough energy and nutrients and reduce exercise to a suitable level.
3) Eat more and exercise more. You have always thought that as long as you exercise more, you can completely offset the harm of "eating more". In fact, you have completely shifted the pressure to exercise to burn calories, while neglecting to control your diet.
4) They eat very little, but it's all refined food. Although the food is small in quantity and low in nutrition, it's high in calories, and clearly doesn't result in a "negative calorie value".
5) Although you're moving, the intensity is far from enough. If you only exercise for 15 minutes each time, or walk for an hour a day, you haven't reached the intensity needed for weight loss. Effective exercise requires more than 20 minutes of fat-burning exercise (calculating your heart rate during fat-burning activity).
6) After a period of weight loss, your body has automatically adjusted and adapted to the current weight loss pattern. Therefore, you need to change your exercise, increase the intensity of your exercise, or reduce your diet, etc.
In short, there are many reasons for weight loss plateaus, and generalizations cannot be made. However, by analyzing each specific problem individually, we can find the right solution and break through the plateau.
