Many times, when one begins a new fat loss regime; they focus on
dieting (hopefully intelligent dieting, not fad diets or very low
calorie diets) and hopefully an exercise regime. Most of the time,
to accomplish fat loss, people seem to believe that aerobic (aka.
cardio) training in addition to a moderate reduction in calories is
the best course of action to accomplish this. The main goal is to
create a caloric deficit through these methods so that the body must
use fat stores to make up for the deficit, therefore accomplishing
fat loss. However, many times people run into a plateau that is
caused by the lowering of the metabolism due to muscle loss because
of the new diet and exercise regime. This lowering of the metabolism
is known as the starvation response. You've experienced this if
you've ever tried to lose fat before and eventually, even though you
may have tried very hard, you seemed to not be able to lose anymore
fat.
