Question

Julianna has been eating exactly 1500 calories each day (her normal intake is 1800), and has been losing weight for about 3 months in this fashion. However, over the past two weeks, she notices her weight has stopped decreasing, even though she is still only eating 1500 calories per day. She comes to you for advice. How do you explain this to her?

Losing weight has lowered Julianna's basal metabolic rate, and what she is now eating no longer constitutes a caloric deficit Her physical activity has probably decreased unknowingly, and she is no longer burning enough calories She has probably started eating in her sleep Thanks to the set point theory, after three months of dieting the body is no longer capable of losing any weight.
