They get caught on plateaus. In that case what you need to do is give yourself a couple of days of rest and bump up your calories by 10 percent. When you lose weight quickly, your body often responds by releasing hormones to increase your appetite and store more fat.

safoodvillain:
The body has two fuel sources:
Fat
Sugar
Human society largely has been transitioned into thinking ‘sugar fuel’ is better than ‘fat fuel’. The reason why lies in the fact that ‘sugar fuel’ is burnt off quicker than ‘fat fuel’.
