Why Body Weight Doesn't Decline
Table of Contents
1. I don't eat much, but I won't lose weight if that's possible
The first thing to consider is whether the diet is properly balanced and whether it takes into account a calorie deficit. Most people can't estimate how many calories they're actually consuming when they lose weight. So if they don't lose weight over a long period of time, it's worth considering whether their daily calorie intake is right. It's a good idea to keep a dietary diary, both in paper and electronic form.2. The thermal effect of food
The thermal effect of food is the energy used by the body to chew, digest, absorb and metabolize the food consumed. It is assumed to be approximately 10% of the calorie content of food (G. P. Granata, L. J. Brandon 2002).3. NEAT and the fat reduction process
NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) is post-workout physical activity, i.e. walking, climbing stairs, washing windows, etc. It results in a significant number of calories being burned. It's worth noting that when you reduce fat, you have less energy, which indirectly translates to a decrease in post-work physical activity. The human body defends itself against a deficit, thus limiting unnecessary energy expenditure.4. Causes of weight fluctuations
Many people experience stagnation or even weight gain during their weight loss process despite diet and physical activity.5. Hydration
The reasons for weight fluctuations include: the better the body is hydrated, the greater the body weight. Very often, people who start reducing body fat have healthy habits, including regular water intake. Therefore, at the beginning of weight loss, body weight may increase, but this does not mean that body weight has increased, which is often forgotten by those who lose weight; more salt and salt intake may also affect water retention in the body, which can contribute to weight gain.6. Monitoring progress during weight loss
To monitor progress, it's best to use weight, centimetres and figure pictures.. but remember to always weigh the same weight in the morning, fasting, after the morning bathroom.. Additionally, women should pay attention to the phase of the cycle in which they are currently.. It's not worth comparing body weight measurements between cycles, because they will definitely be different.7. Summary
When the effects of weight loss are not visible, the diet should first be analysed in terms of calories. It is important to remember that many factors influence weight gain, but it does not have to be associated with an increase in fat tissue levels. Particular attention should be given to both proper diet and physical activity during the reduction period, which helps to deepen the caloric deficit and maintain as much muscle mass as possible.
