When you are trying to lose weight, it is necessary to reduce your calorie intake. Unfortunately exactly that can be the reason why you have reached a weight loss plateau.
Our bodies do not like loosing weight and is programmed to try and keep your weight steady or to even increase your weight. So, in response to you eating fewer calories a day, your body slows down your metabolism and you need fewer calories a day to keep your body functioning.

4. There is a formula that you can use to find out how many calories you need per day:
Body weight in pounds divided by 2. 2 X 23 will give you the amount of calories your body needs to maintain your present weight. So if you weigh say, 176 pounds you will need 80 X 23 = 1840 calories (kilo calories, but everyone simply calls it calories) to maintain your present weight. If you want to lose weight and prevent yourself from reaching a plateau, you should eat about 1340 calories a day.
Body weight in pounds divided by 2. 2 X 24 will give you the amount of calories your body needs to maintain its present weight. So if you weigh say, 209 pounds you will need 95 X 24 = 2280 calories (kilocalories, but everyone simply says calories) per day to maintain your present weight. So, if you want to lose weight without reaching a plateau, you need to eat about 1780 calories a day.
