Eating 1,000 calories and still not losing weight? Your body isn't broken. It's protecting you. 👇
Your metabolism isn't a calculator — it's a survival system. When you eat too little for too long, your body downshifts to protect you. 🛡️
Resting metabolic rate drops. Thyroid output slows. You subconsciously move less. You feel cold, constipated, bloated. Cortisol rises — and high cortisol means more fat storage, especially around the belly, more cravings, worse sleep, and muscle breakdown.
This is called metabolic adaptation. It's not a flaw. It's your body doing exactly what it's designed to do. 🧠
