Eating too low calorie for a long period of time can cause our bodies to go into “survival” mode and cling to stored fat.. which can halt or slow fat-loss goals.
Our metabolism slows considerably to compensate for the lack of nutrition. One way to break through a plateau like this is to use carb/calorie cycling. By cycling calories (low, medium and high days), it keeps our bodies guessing! Try not to drop calories too drastically (there is NO NEED to starve in order to lose weight)!
