When you lose weight, your body burns fewer calories daily, so your old deficit stops working. A 20-pound loss might drop your daily burn from 2,500 to 2,300 calories. To keep losing, cut another 100-200 calories or add 30-60 minutes of cardio weekly.
Better, better, better, better, better, better, better, better, better, better, better, better. I'm genuinely sick of nobody ever explaining things in their videos. So let me explain why a calorie deficit stops working after a few months. Let's say your body burns 2,500 calories per day. So you eat 2,000 calories per day to be in a calorie deficit. After a few months of you losing weight, your metabolism is going to slow down. And now eating 2,000 calories is no longer a calorie deficit for you. Here's what you do to fix it and keep losing weight. Your metabolism slowing down is not only normal, but it's a good thing because when your body loses 20 pounds, you're carrying less weight, life becomes easier, and you end up burning less calories. Just like if you were wearing a 20-pound backpack all day, and then when you take it off, your life becomes easier. Now you might only burn 2,300 calories per day, and to recreate your calorie deficit, you would either just decrease your calories by 100 to 200 per day or add in an extra 30 to 60 minutes cardio per week. And you would do this until you get to your goal weight.
