What causes stalls?

[ShannonbKSU 53]

Merry merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all had a great day. I've been reading about stalls and I think I'm having my wonderful 3 week one during week 2. No panic here but curious if anyone can tell me the reason behind the stalls? Thoughts?

The human body just goes in to self preservation mode and as it adjusts to the lower calorie intake it hold on to every calorie. That's why for some increasing how much they eat actually helps break the stall.

Also, my understanding (from years of dieting) is that stalls/plateaus are when my body is rearranging everything to accommodate the fat loss-- moving fat around so that is more easily accessible, etc.
