What are the reasons for unsuccessful weight loss? Because the body works hard to prevent you from losing weight!

Updated: Jun 5



In the pursuit of health, many people share a common goal: to lose weight.

We are working hard to adjust our diet and increase our physical activity, hoping to see our weight gradually decrease.


However, sometimes we may find that despite putting in a lot of effort, our bodies seem unwilling to cooperate with us and may even prevent us from losing weight in various ways.



Why is this? How does the body prevent us from losing weight? What should we do to lose weight?


Firstly, when you want to lose weight, why does your body prevent you from losing weight?

When we strive to lose weight, the rate of weight loss may not be as fast as we expected, but rather go through a process from fast to slow, and then stagnate.


In this process, even if we strive to create a calorie deficit, in reality, the calorie deficit may be lower than expected because the body will take measures to combat weight loss.



So, why does the body prevent us from losing weight?


From an evolutionary perspective, the human body is inherently endowed with an instinct for survival.


When weight loss occurs, the body automatically perceives that we may be in some kind of "crisis", such as food shortage or disease invasion.

To protect us from potential life threats, the body automatically adjusts its metabolic rate, reduces energy expenditure, and increases craving and intake of food.


This protective mechanism used to be very beneficial in the past when food was scarce, but in modern society, it has become a stumbling block to weight loss.


Secondly, how does your body prevent you from losing weight?


Understanding the body's protective mechanisms helps us better cope with the challenges of weight loss.


Some ways that the body can prevent weight loss include:

1. Decreased metabolic level: When we strive to lose weight, our body will lower our metabolic level and reduce energy expenditure.

2. Reduced exercise expenditure: Over time, the body adapts to exercise, resulting in a decrease in the amount of calories consumed for the same amount of exercise.

3. Increased hunger: As weight loss progresses, we feel even more hungry, which may lead to binge eating behavior.

4. Increased psychological pressure: During the weight loss process, one may encounter psychological pressure, leading to emotional eating or giving up on a weight loss plan.


Thirdly, how to overcome physical obstacles and achieve weight loss goals?

To overcome physical obstacles, we can take the following measures:


1. Maintain patience and confidence, realizing that weight loss is a long-term process.

2. Develop a reasonable weight loss plan, including a balanced diet and moderate exercise.

3. Pay attention to your psychological state, learn to adjust your mindset, and avoid emotional eating.

4. Maintaining sufficient sleep helps control diet and maintain physical activity levels.

In short, to achieve our weight loss goals, we need to fight against physical obstacles, maintain patience and confidence, develop reasonable plans, and pay attention to mental health.
