Our bodies like to store fat! To our body, stored fat means survival. In fact, our bodies do not

want to be all lean and sexy sauce. That means less stored energy to tap into. Our bodies are

hardwired for survival.

When we restrict food for long periods, our body starts to make some changes to try to

regulate and adapt.

It will lower our basil metabolic rate (what we burn doing nothing) along with other energy

outputs. Like what we do that is non-exercise activities. This is why we hit plateaus.

You may start to notice your hunger and cravings increasing and your energy levels going down.

Your body will send signals to get you to eat.

When you lose weight, muscle is typically the first to go.

If you’re undereating for too long, your body is like, “helll naaaaa! Imma keeping what fat we have

(stored energy) and I am gonna do what I can to get you to give me more so we can survive.”

After you lose a significant amount of weight, it is important to have a maintenance plan. To eat

above your BMR (basil metabolic rate) and let your body know it’s going to get food! I mean,

think about it, if you’re eating under your basic energy needs just to live, that’s bound to be a

problem!

Try not to restrict for over 10 to 12 weeks. Go into a maintenance mode meaning eat your daily

energy needs!  Build into it gradually. Feed your body consistently for a good week or two

before you start to restrict again. Try a refeed before you start your next diet or nutritional plan for weight loss.
