If you can relate to this, then you are watching the right video. Today, I will discuss a few subconscious fat loss mistakes that inhibit the fat loss progress of many people. With the use of current scientific literature and logic, I will show you how you can break through a fat loss plateau to achieve your physique goals. But before diving into strategies on how to break a fat loss plateau, let’s first get a clear idea of what a fat loss plateau actually is. Because oftentimes people actually are making good progress, but their unrealistic expectations make them think that they are doing something wrong. Like anything worth having, fat loss takes time. No matter what the internet claims, most people can’t expect to lose high amounts of weight like 20 lbs. in a month. You also don’t want to lose fat fast since you’ll feel low-energy and may lose muscle in the process. If you think you are making progress but it’s slow, in most cases I suggest to just keep up the good work. Because the slow progress adds up over time and the results you accumulate over a longer time period are also easier to sustain. But if after a month or so you don’t notice any difference in your body weight, how your clothes fit or how lean you look in progress pictures, then something needs to change. So the first fat loss mistake is subconsciously eating more than you think, which causes you to go out of a calorie deficit. This is probably the most common reason people struggle with fat loss. Based on research, most of us are not that good in estimating how much we actually eat. In one study, when asked to estimate their calorie-intake, obese individuals underreported their calorie-intake by several hundreds of calories per day. Other research performed on dietitians found that even trained nutrition professionals underreport their calorie-intake by roughly 220 calories per day. Something as simple as eating a handful of nuts twice in a day can add around 300 calories to your daily total. Not to mention when you go out to eat. 2018 research found that the average meal in a restaurant is 1200 calories. As you can see in the figure, depending on what type of cuisine the restaurant serves, the calories can even be higher than 1200. So if you eat out regularly, the calories you consume could be higher than what most people expect and this could impact your progress. The 2nd factor that can inhibit your fat loss progress is your activity outside of the gym. 2 individuals that are of the same body size and have the same training still can have a widely different daily energy expenditure. This is because of your non-exercise activity thermogenesis or NEAT. Something that you want to prevent from happening is that your NEAT decreases over time. Research shows that as you lose more fat, one of the metabolic adaptations that occur is that your spontaneous activity drops. This, in turn, slows down fat loss. Therefore, being more conscious of your non-training activity can help if you feel like your metabolism has slowed down. Examples of how you can do this include taking the stairs more often or going for more walks. The last reason you may not be losing fat is that you are not applying a diet break when you need it. Losing a lot of body fat is perceived as an indicator of low-energy availability by the body. So to prevent starvation, your body starts fighting against fat loss by decreasing your calorie expenditure and making you feel more hungry. A diet break is a tool you can use to manage these effects. During a diet break, you purposely go out of a calorie deficit and eat around maintenance calories. This provides a mental break from restricting calories and also prevents excessive metabolic slowdown. ------------------------------------- Scientific References: NEAT and Metabolic Adaptations Research: Calories Restaurant Meals: Underreporting Calories Research: ------------------------------------- MUSIC CREDIT: Music by Ryan Little - Lovesick.
