It's getting hotter and more humid for many of us in the northern hemisphere.
If you've experienced hot weather in the last couple weeks and your weight loss has stalled, the weather could be to blame.
This article explains why:
In the summer, body weight can go up by several pounds due to increased body water. This is accomplished through fluid-conserving hormones such as aldosterone, which allows the kidney to retain more fluid and reduces the amount of salt in sweat, a measure that also aids in water retention. The increase and stabilization of total body water can only be accomplished by continuing to exercise in hot weather and will not occur in people who spend most of their time indoors in air-conditioned environments.
Like all other stalls or gains caused by water weight fluctuations, the solution is to be patient and trust that you are still losing fat as long as you are in a calorie deficit. Eventually, this loss will show on the scale. It just may take a few weeks.
