When you reach a weight loss plateau, the reason is, that the human body works hard to keep energy intake and output in balance. When you decrease your food intake, your body simply lowers its metabolic rate, which allows your body to function properly, but ultimately your body requires fewer calories which creates hunger and prevents you from losing fat. Muscle burns fat and losing muscle means burning fewer calories. Lean body mass uses 5 times the calories as fat mass so, if you lose it, your metabolism drops and weight loss stops.

Starting a weight training program to help increase lean body mass should be combined with a fully nourished body and some type of multivitamin to help with any nutrient deficiencies. Xvest TurboBells Adjustable Dumbbells are a great piece of strength training equipment to start your program because they are easily adjusted with the flip of the switch, they range from 5-60 lbs, and can be adjusted in 2.5 lb increments. Remember losing weight involves more than starving yourself, a good diet, cardio workouts and strength training all have to be combined for success in losing fat and gaining a lean, healthy body.
