Weight Loss Plateaus: Understanding your metabolism and how to bust through plateaus! [Ep. 25]

Self Care Simplified - A podcast by Megan Dahlman

Are weight loss plateaus inevitable? Are they predictable? Is there a way to avoid them? And what's the best way to bust through a plateau when it happens? That's what we're talking all about on today's episode!  When we’re talking about a plateau, we’re usually referring to a stall out in body composition changes, even when our habits are still on point. It can feel like all the things that worked in the beginning to create progress aren't working anymore. What in the world?! In this episode, you're going to learn all about the metabolism, we're going to talk about the concept of "calories-in-calories-out", and we'll discuss metabolic compensation.  But most importantly, we'll chat about nutrition and exercises strategies to bust through a plateau if you suspect it's occurring.  MORE RESOURCES:  Article about the Law of Metabolic Compensation by Dr. Jade Teta  How to Lose 4 Pounds in 4 Days by Megan Dahlman, BS, CSCS Leptin, Ghrelin, and Weight Loss by Helen Kollias, Ph.D.
