❓ Why has your weight loss stopped? What is the reason for your plateau?😳 You've been on a weight loss journey and now all of a sudden, your weight loss has stalled.Why is this happening?And what can you do about it?🎙 In this episode of The Body Smart podcast, Jaymie Moran and co-host Gemma Ray discuss those frustrating last 10lbs that just seem so hard to lose.💪 At the point of recording, Gemma has lost 55lbs over a long, sustained period and she's super close to her ultimate weight loss goal. Yet the last 10lbs have become a challenge to lose and she's not seen any weight loss for two weeks.🤔 "Is starvation mode real?" she asks and Jaymie debunks this myth about starvation mode but offers a potential explanation to Gemma's weight loss stalling in the form of metabolic adaptation.👉 Metabolic adaptation or metabolic slowdown is the term used to describe the body’s natural physiological response to reduced calorie intake. Without it, humans would have become extinct thousands of years ago. Unfortunately, this ancient protective response can cause a weight loss plateau.💯 Jaymie explains the ways in which this can manifest on a physiological level and also discusses the psychological reasons that reaching your goal can cause complacency which can affect weight loss. We coined the term "confidence complacency" - when family members and friends pass on their compliments ar your physical appearance changes which psychologically can make you more complacent in your ongoing actions.🍔 We also discussed what a diet break is and how this can help create a 'slingshot' effect on results for some people. 🏹This episode is packed with valuable hints and tips on overcoming a weight loss plateau and how to track not just accurately but use it as an educational exercise for the rest of your life.Mentioned in this episode:👉Starvation mode infographic: https://www.instagram.com/p/CQG-mPFN-5o/👉 Licks, Bites and Tastes and how they can all add up: https://www.instagram.com/p/CSy4LbaMcE5/👉 Debbie from the BBC documentary who thought she had a slow metabolism: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CS3yDp0AhP1/Don't forget to leave a review and subscribe! ‌🙋‍♀️ PS - If you're a busy woman over 30 and want to...✅ Lose 30-60lbs (14-27kg) in under 6 months📉✅ Develop lifelong healthy habits & skills to make it easy 🙌✅ Rebuild your confidence & self-esteem and feel like you again 💁‍♀️🤝 We guarantee we can help you achieve your weight-loss goals or get your money back 🎯Apply now for one of our limited coaching slots👇https://www.bodysmartfitness.com/podcastapply/Connect with us 👇🤳 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bodysmartfi...💪 Team Body Smart: https://www.instagram.com/teambodysmart🎵 TikTok Jaymie Moran on TikTok🎥 Main YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BodySmartFi...🎙 Podcast: 🙋‍♀️ PS - If you're a busy woman over 30 and want to... ✅ Lose 5-10lbs (2-5kg) a month📉 ✅ Reduce your risk of diabetes, heart disease & stroke 🫀 ✅ Develop lifelong habits & skills so getting healthy is easy 🙌 ✅ Rebuild your confidence & self-esteem to feel like you again 💁‍♀️ 🤝 We GUARANTEE you'll hit your weight-loss goal or get your money back 💰 ⭐️1,000+ Five-star reviews on Trustpilot, we are the highest-rated women’s weight-loss company in the world 🌍 Apply now for one of our limited coaching slots👇https://www.bodysmartfitness.com/podcastapply/
