The Weight Loss Plateau Over time our bodies adapt to the lowered calorie level. Our body becomes more efficient at using energy (lowered metabolism), and therefore burns less fat. This is why most of us reach a weight loss plateau. At this point, the only option is to boost metabolism: increased cardio, weight training, cheat meals (i.e. occasional high-calorie meals), cycling (or zig-zagging) calories, even manipulating macro-nutrient ratios can all help to do this (dont forget adequate sleep and hydration)
