Deep dives

Metabolic Adaptation and Weight Loss

Metabolic adaptation, while a real occurrence, does not equate to a broken metabolism halting weight loss progress. As individuals adhere to calorie deficits and exercise, the body adapts by burning fewer calories, impacting weight loss. Research indicates a reduction in metabolic rate during dieting, mainly due to reduced energy expenditure from weight loss and increased energy efficiency, alongside decreased motivation for spontaneous activities.
