If you’ve hit a weight loss plateau, you’re not alone. This can be an incredibly frustrating experience, especially when it feels like you’re doing everything right. However, several factors can make losing weight more challenging.
Below are some reasons you might be facing a plateau.
- Metabolism Slowdown: As you age, your metabolism naturally decreases, partly due to a loss in muscle mass. This means your body burns fewer calories at rest, complicating your weight loss efforts.
- Hormonal Changes: The hormonal fluctuations that occur during perimenopause and menopause can significantly affect your body composition and fat distribution. Hormones like oestrogen and progesterone decrease, which can make it harder to lose weight.
- Diet: What are you currently eating and is it really as healthy as you think it is? As your metabolism changes, so too should your diet. What worked in your twenties and thirties may not be effective now. It is necessary to learn what to eat, understand portions and meal timings.
- Sleep: Sleep quality often decreases as you get older, which can for some increase levels of cortisol, a stress hormone linked to weight gain, especially around your midsection.
- Stress: Juggling multiple responsibilities such as career, family, and caregiving can lead to chronic stress. This not only promotes poor eating habits but also triggers your body to store fat.
- Physical Activity: With age, you might naturally slow down and have a more sedentary life due to increased responsibilities, low motivation and decreased energy levels.
- Underlying Medical Conditions: Conditions like thyroid disorders, insulin resistance, or metabolic syndrome are more common as you age and can impede weight loss. Some medications can contribute to weight gain or make losing weight more difficult.
There is more than one reason that you are stuck on the weight loss plateau. And for this reason, it’s going to require knowing what to do and how to make it work effectively.
The quickest and easiest way to get over the plateau is to learn what to do.
