Weight Loss May Stop After the Second Week of Dieting — Why?

Weight loss simply by dieting…

When you start a new diet, that first big drop in weight is pretty exciting!

You might even lose as much as five pounds or so in your first week to ten days.

You’re celebrating, weighing yourself at least once a day, telling everyone you know about this great diet you found…and then without warning, the needle stops moving!

You aren’t doing anything different.

You’re still paying attention to what you eat and maybe even exercising.

But that number on the scale just won’t budge!

You’ve made sure the scale is in exactly the same spot as always, your feet are in the exact same position on the scale, and you’re wearing the same clothes.

But still, that number isn’t going down.

What the actual heck??

For a lot of people, this is the point when they give up.

What’s the point of dieting and exercising if you aren’t seeing any results, right?

Wrong!

The thing is, there are almost certainly some benefits happening — you just can’t see them on the scale.
