Losing weight healthfully and keeping it off, is not easy. And again, that is why we are always looking for those easy, quick fixes. When you start to lose weight, the less there is of you, the less calories you are going to need. So over time, you are either going to have to decrease your calories or increase your exercise. Also what happens on diets a lot, or when people are losing weight in a healthy way, they tend to plateau. That can be very discouraging. However, plateauing is actually a positive sign that your body is finding a new set point, a new weight that it is comfortable at.
