So you are cruising along on that weight loss goal and it feels great! But then, the scale stops moving downward... or even creeps back up. EEKKKSS!! This is the dreaded weight loss plateau. You see, your body is very adaptable. You give it the same food and workout day after day, and it will STOP working. Feeling frustrated? Ready to cry? I know... I've been there myself many times. Well here are a few helpful hits to keep things cruising in the right direction.
1. Change your workout. Try new techniques or take a class you've never taken before.
\2. Make sure you're eating enough! Especially protein... the essential macronutrient for building muscles. Yes the body needs food and nutrients to lose weight. Starving yourself of calories only works in the very beginning then your body holds on to everything it has to stay alive.
3. Lift heavier weights. Don't be a cardio bunny. Muscle burns fat. Muscle boosts your metabolism. Muscle is key to fat loss.
4. Try a refeed day! If you don't know what this is contact me for nutrition information. If you've been on a weight loss plan for a few months, it's time to incorporate refeeds.
5. Make sure you're getting enough sleep. Aim for 7 hours a night. When you're tired your body craves sugar and you may be eating a lot more than you think because you're too tired to remember.
6. Drink as much water as you can. Water, not diet soda, not sugary iced tea... WATER.... aim for at least 1 gallon a day. Water flushes the bad toxins out of your body.
