Have you ever been on a diet to lose weight where everything was going really well for a while and the pounds were coming off? But all of a sudden, you become stuck at or around the same weight and can’t lose another pound? If so, you’re all too familiar with what is known as the weight loss plateau. This is a point that many of us who have been losing weight may get to. It’s as if our bodies have decided to fight back, but in reality it’s our metabolism slowing down. If you’ve reached this plateau and think it’s time to give up then guess again.

This roll of fat is more commonly known as a “muffin top.”
