Metabolism: Your body does not want to lose weight. When you diet, your body thinks there's a famine and tries to keep you from starving by going into metabolic deep freeze. Fewer calories get used to produce heat so you feel cold & weight loss slows. Exercise, particularly strengthening exercises, and eating protein can help prevent this.
