I've been on a diet for a few months now. I started at 100kg and have been losing weight at a steady rate of 1kg/week. I'm at 80kg now. While that's great and all, I don't understand why my plan is working and what my body is doing.
At 100kg I calculated a TDEE of 2644 calories. Then I made a plan for 1500 cal/day and stuck to that for the last 5 months. There have been 0 exceptions. I'm eating the exact same every day and my activity level has not changed in the slightest. But, somehow, 1500 cal at 100kg led to a weekly loss of 1kg, while 1500 cal at 80kg also leads to a weekly loss of 1kg.
The progress has not slowed down at all. On the contrary - it even accelerated slightly, since it was only at 0,8kg for the first few weeks and then went up to 1kg. Which makes even less sense, since you would expect to lose a lot of water at the beginning. Didn't seem to happen for me.
How does this make any sense? Does my body have a "limit" of how much weight it can lose per week, and that limit just happens to be 1kg? And if I eat less food, it will still cap at 1kg? I couldn't find anything on this topic at all.
