Welcome to Step 2 of the Maintain Weight Forever cycle. This section is all about reaching the end of weight loss. You’ve done so well burning off the excess fat, but those last pounds are very stubborn. Fat loss slows down when you lose the last 15 pounds. Why is that?

Here’s an explanation using money instead of fat. Imagine you have 100 dollars in your account and I ask you for 1. You’d loan it. Why not? It’s only 1 per cent of your savings. Then I ask you for 2 dollars. You still don’t mind because you’ve got 97 dollars left over.

But what if I keep asking until you only have 15 dollars left? You might give something, but you’ll hesitate. Soon you’ve only got 10 dollars left. You don’t want to give anymore. 2 dollars is now 20% of your savings, not 2% like when you first started giving money away. That’s why your body won’t lose fat the way it used to. It’s scared of running out of fat (money) and ending up underweight (penniless).

This section covers the following areas:
