Metabolic stall: 9 tips to get out of it

The term "metabolism"Describes all chemical reactions of the body, that keep it alive and functioning; this word is also used to define the number of calories introduced and burned by the body: the more calories you burn, the easier it is to lose weight and stay in control.

Anyone who has followed a diet knows that at some point the weight begins to drop slowly until it reaches a stalemate; this condition known as "metabolic stall"Occurs when the body gets used to the energy and nutrient intake and responds through metabolic adaptation to allow proper functioning even in conditions of energy deficiency.
