Jennifer’s progress, and the Law of Diminishing Returns

Progress picture of LBC client Jennifer. Jen already looked great when she started as you can see by the first photo, but she wanted to take it to the next level and drop her body fat down even further. Progress at this stage of leanness is slower and much harder to achieve than when body fat is higher; it’s basically the Law of Diminishing Returns. 

The bottom line is that unfortunate and frustrating as it may be, fat loss slows down as you progress and get leaner as each successive pound of fat you lose represents a greater percentage of the fat remaining on your body and your body’s desire to fight further fat loss climbs

As you get down to the nitty gritty and you want more, you simply have to work harder, adhere better, be even more consistently on plan … for less results.

The sooner you accept it the better, because at least then you know what to expect on your journey; no surprises. Anything else is simply unrealistic and is going to lead to disappointment when you see less progress for what seems like a lot, and arguably more, work down the road. But if you want to take it to the next level? It’s just something you’ll likely have to deal with.
