Avoiding Prolonged Caloric Deficits
Spending excessive time in a caloric deficit can lead to significant psychological burnout and physiological adaptations that hinder weight loss efforts. Many individuals incorrectly believe they can maintain their weight loss by continuously dieting, which ultimately results in fatigue, decreased motivation, and reduced energy expenditure. This pattern can culminate in a down-regulation of metabolism, where the body adjusts to burn fewer calories over time, making weight maintenance or further fat loss increasingly difficult. To counteract these effects, it is crucial to periodically incorporate maintenance breaks, allowing the body to reset and recovery from prolonged calorie restriction, which can ultimately enhance long-term fat loss success.
