You’re trying to lose weight – doing all the right things: eating right, exercising, reducing stress levels etc and yet you can’t seem to win. The weight is just not coming off! What’s going on? Well, your ‘loving’ body senses all of that weight loss going on, it worries that you’re starving and therefore, reduces your body’s metabolic rate – the rate at which your body burns calories to keep your basic body functions working. So, if you’re not burning enough calories…it kinda sounds like you’re retaining them right?! Very depressing – sounds like ‘no work done!’
This is an interesting read! Enjoy!
