Why Does Your Body Slow Down When You Are on a Diet? And What Can You Do About This?

When we eat less and consume fewer calories, our bodies notice. It's a shame, but they do.

If you eat fewer calories each day and do not pay attention, you will slow. The basal metabolic rate slows down in an effort to save energy. Your body thinks you might be hungry. It really is not under conscious control. It is important to understand because if you're not aware of that, you might not understand what is happening.

Basal metabolic rate of your body is like a thermostat on a boiler. If you are more active, the rate goes up and you burn more fuel. If you become less active, the basal metabolic rate slows. This is a function of survival. There is no need to burn calories through the rate needed for hunting and gathering so that the body is made sat quietly because there is a famine or drought.

If supplies are scarce, you will need to sit down and do your shopping last as long as possible. So your basal metabolic rate slows down if you are sedentary and if there is not much food is in the high end. It makes sense.

If your body has slowed down a bit, it will make you want to sit around trying to burn fewer calories. That's OK, because it's just a signal. Just a message. As all the messages, it can be ignored. You can stay active, you can even increase your activity level. Your body will cope.

The point is that if you do not think about it, you might eat less, slow burn less need less and then wonder why you do not lose inches from your waistline.

The key is to realize what will happen and be prepared for it.

Stay active. Keep doing stuff. Limit your intake but stay active. It works.

Your body will try to change your point of activity involved. The ignore. You store energy to spare. Use your brain super powerful to take over and replace the signals that will try to get your behind back in the easy chair. You will feel the call. You will not want to get up - but the great thing is that once you are and do things, the body is well with her. It's like a grumpy teenager. It will do nothing without a severe blow ass. But once it is and on that can move perfectly.
