Metabolic adaptation is a normal response to dieting.

When you eat less and train more for a while, your body adjusts to protect itself.

That's why fat loss often feels easier at the start and harder over time (especially that last few kgs closer to your goal weight).

Adjusting your calories lower and adding cardio can work, and it’s a way you can tackle the plateau.

But, later on, pushing harder in that direction means lower energy and more hunger.

Smarter fat loss isn't about doing more forever.
It's about adjusting the plan instead of forcing it.

How you adjust depends where you're at.
How long you've been in a deficit, how much you're currently eating, how you're recovering, how your body is responding.
