What should I do if I lose weight and enter the platform period?

When you enter the platform period, the first thing you need to change is your diet, but instead of blindly reducing your food intake, you should pay more attention to nutritional balance, thus accelerating your metabolism and helping you get out of the platform period faster.

At this time, the body will try to adjust various indicators of the body (such as fat content, muscle content, etc.). ) to the original value, at the same time, it will reset the new standard of the new adjustment point. Before the new standards are re-formulated, dieters will feel hungry, tired, lazy and give up more easily than usual. So at this stage, we must adopt scientific methods and add a little perseverance.

When the body is hungry, it will reduce energy consumption to ensure the normal activities of the body, so when the interval between meals is too long, it is easier for the body to start the self-protection mechanism. If three meals are divided into 4-5 meals, the body can maintain a high metabolic level and help to lose weight under the premise of keeping the calories unchanged.

Extended data:

Platform period, that is, weight loss stagnation period. In the early stage of losing weight, you can lose weight by 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 enter a platform period of weight loss. When we reduce the calorie intake for a period of time in order to lose weight, the body will adapt to the phenomenon, absorb the calorie intake of food as much as possible and make the most effective use of it, at the same time reduce the basal metabolic rate and reduce the energy consumption, so the calorie reaches a new equilibrium state and the weight will no longer drop. This situation is called platform period.
