Why is weight loss so difficult?

　　Every time you see your friends posting on WeChat Moments about losing a few pounds, do you feel a sense of disappointment? Why is it so easy for others to lose weight, yet even though you're not slacking off, it's so hard for you to do so? Everyone's situation is different. Even if you start losing weight at the same time as someone else, because everyone's physical condition and methods are different, the results will also be different. If you lose weight slower than others, it could be due to the following reasons:

　　1. Your body's metabolism is slower

　　As you age, your body's functions decline, and your metabolism slows down. Even if you don't eat more than before, you may find it easier to gain weight. People with a higher metabolism can consume the calories they intake promptly without accumulating excess calories, making it less likely for them to gain weight. For them, losing weight is relatively easier. On the other hand, people with a lower metabolism burn calories more slowly, making it harder for them to lose weight.

　　2. You may have reached a weight loss plateau

　　Weight loss doesn't always decline continuously. When you reach a certain point in your weight loss journey, you may encounter a plateau. This plateau is a phase where your body adapts. During this time, your basal metabolic rate may decrease, and energy consumption reduces. This can cause your weight loss progress to stall. To break through a weight loss plateau, the best way is to increase your basal metabolic rate.

　　3. You're losing weight too quickly

　　If you have ever tried a rapid weight loss method and lost a significant amount of weight in a short period, you are more likely to experience rebound compared to others. Rapid weight loss can lead to the loss of more muscle mass, and a decrease in muscle mass can slow down metabolism, making rebound more likely. Reasonable weight loss should not be rushed. Generally, losing 0.5 to 1 kilogram per week is more appropriate.
