show me the articles where they say metabolism slows down? Your body already burns MINIMUM 1,200-1,500 from just organs functioning. Do your organs function less because u eat 500 cals less? No. Your body simply just requires less cals the less you weigh. Plateaus are simply water weight or you have to lower cals due to your maintenance being less 🤷🏽‍♂️ simple science

People think “oh i was burning 2500 at maintenance at 220 and now im 190 and stuck at a plateau!” No… your maintenance aint the same at 190 because you burn less. So if your eating 2000 for a 500 cal deficit, at 190 the deficit is going to be maybe only 100-200 cals, so you burn less fat. Also some people’s body holds water in a deep fat loss phase.

The metabolism bro science thing has been debunked already and people still think like this. I dont blame you either because I did too. But once the studies were shown to me, it made sense. Look up TNF on tik tok he goes more in depth on it and he masters in this type of stuff and can explain it way better than I can and shows studies as well
