Metabolic Rate

However, those with lower muscle mass may experience slower weight loss. Photo Credit: Shutterstock

Consuming more calories than burned can slow weight loss progress. Photo Credit: Shutterstock

Increasing workout intensity or variety can help counteract this effect. Photo Credit: Shutterstock

Sleep & Stress

Both can lead to hormonal imbalances that impact how effectively the body loses weight. Photo Credit: Shutterstock
