Why weight loss is more challenging than it seems
Achieving weight loss requires maintaining a calorie deficit, meaning you must burn more calories than you consume. However, sustaining this deficit over time can be difficult due to your body’s natural response. As you reduce calorie intake, your metabolism slows, hunger increases, and your energy expenditure drops. These survival mechanisms, though helpful in times of scarcity, often hinder long-term weight loss, leading many to experience the frustrating cycle of regaining lost weight.
