You need a calorie deficit to lose weight but the calorie
deficit slows the metabolism and causes weight loss to stall.
Not exact matches
At such a calorie
deficit, the body goes into starvation mode in order to conserve energy and
metabolism slows.
Also, there's no need to starve yourself — a too big calorie
deficit will only
slow down your
metabolism and stall your weight loss progress.

The longer the period your body is at a calorie
deficit, the
slower and lower your
metabolism and leptin levels become.
Creating too large of a
deficit can result in a
slowed metabolism, weight loss plateaus, hunger, and muscle loss.
When cutting down body fat, too sharp energy
deficit will result in muscle loss and
slowing of
metabolism, while not enough
deficit simply won't give any cut down at all.
Continually maintaining an energy
deficit will result in these low leptin levels and in an attempt to ensure your survival your body
slows your
metabolism via depressed thyroid.
Otherwise you could be in a severe

slows your

For example, if an active person were to eat in a calorie -
deficit suitable for a very lightly active person, then the body is likely to
slow the
metabolism and this will result in the body holding onto unwanted fat (or stubborn fat) because it does not think it will receive enough energy to complete daily tasks through food consumption.
These times of increased carb intake help prevent the body from
slowing the
metabolism by dropping carbs, which often creates a calorie
deficit, too low.
The idea behind refeeds is that it will boost leptin levels and increase your
metabolism (which
slows down during an extended calorie
deficit) and ends up helping with long - term fat loss.
When your body senses a calorie
deficit, leptin levels drop, prompting the
metabolism to
slow down and conserve energy.
Growing evidence suggests that our
metabolism might even
slow down as we lose weight — perhaps because increased activity triggers the body to save calories, so that an energy
deficit doesn't disrupt important bodily functions.
