The most distressing thing for bariatric partners, especially those who are fat a year or two after weight loss surgery, is to experience a weight loss plateau. This is actually just a normal self-protective phenomenon of the body. When eating fewer calories over a period of time, the body will produce the phenomenon of adaptation, absorbing and using as many calories from the food consumed as possible and reducing the basal metabolic rate, thus reducing energy expenditure. Thus the calories consumed and consumed reach a new equilibrium point, and weight loss does not continue. The duration of the plateau period: The duration of the plateau period is uncertain. Generally speaking, the plateau period for weight loss is not too long. If you have a normal body, no previous major illnesses or a long diet, the plateau period is relatively short. But some people may be physically weaker, or have a poor metabolism, then there may be a longer weight loss plateau, or even up to six months. How to determine whether to enter the plateau: Many people will appear two or three days of slight fluctuations in weight, they think they are entering the plateau. In fact, it is not. Sometimes weight fluctuations may occur just because of some physiological environment, natural environment and other factors. For example, edema, physiological periods and so on. This is not considered to be a weight loss plateau. As mentioned above, the plateau period needs to last for a period of time, and it is a long time to use the same weight loss method, weight loss mode, but the weight just does not change. For example, eating more or less the same amount of food and exercising for a period of time, but the weight has not dropped. This is what may be a weight loss plateau. What about the plateau period: Many people will begin to doubt their previous weight loss methods after the plateau period, and then give up. If the weight loss is through unhealthy dieting, you will want to eat less, or even not eat to break through the plateau. It may be a little effective in the early stage, but at the end there is nothing useful, but their own body is broken. Platform period, the main thing is to adjust the mindset. When we know we are entering the weight loss plateau, self-confidence should be higher, because as long as the way through the healthy weight loss, breakthrough plateau period will become more smooth. The best way to appear the platform period is actually to shift down the weight loss, especially if you can increase muscle is the best way. The purpose of increasing muscle is to increase basal metabolism, which will break the energy balance and return to a state where consumption is greater than intake. For those who lose weight simply through diet without exercise, an appropriate increase in exercise is also a way to speed up the breakthrough of the equilibrium period. For obese people who cannot exercise, they should adjust their diet structure to break through the plateau more quickly. Of course, the adjustment of diet structure will certainly be more effective if there is professional guidance. Whether it’s traditional weight loss or surgical weight loss, it’s a long battle, and the plateau period is just a test in the battle, only look at the target to move forward, in order to break through their own scientific and fast to enjoy a thin life.
