Couple of QuickWays To Conquer Weight Loss Plateau

You were probably losing successfully for the first few weeks after you joined a new diet program, only to be stuck to a certain point later. When people start a diet program they rapidly lose a few pounds, because most diet programs are created to offer you ‘instant loss’. Sadly enough, this ‘instant loss’ is more often than not ‘temporary’ loss.

You will lose very quickly for the first few weeks but after that, you will suddenly discover that the scale is not going down anymore. You are not losing any more than what you have lost already. You have hit a situation commonly known as loss plateau. In such situations, the only remedy is a complete overhaul of your lifestyle habits.

You have probably done the same sets of exercises as well as ate the same types of foods over and over again during those first few weeks when you were losing . As a result your body got accustomed to your diet and exercise routine. When that happened, your loss methods failed to bring any sustainable results.

If you want to go beyond this point, you need to change your diet and exercise regimen.

How to Beat A Weight Loss Plateau

Here are two methods you need to follow to get out of the loss plateau.

1. Calorie-counting is not the way to go: When you count your calories, you basically limit the intake of calories to an abnormally low level. When you eat low calorie foods, there is no incentive for your body to increase your metabolic rate since it has to burn only a few calories. The result is that your metabolic rate always remains at a very low level. When your metabolic rate is low, you aren’t able to burn fat.

In order to burn fat and lose successfully, you need to forget about calorie counting and eat enough so that your body is forced to keep your metabolic rate at a high level. Your body needs fuel to burn fat, and it can get that fuel only from foods.

2. Exercise more: If you have been avoiding exercise altogether, or have been doing only light exercises, then you cannot lose weight. Weight loss is only possible if you perform high intensity workouts daily. Instead of being afraid of exercises, try to love them. Exercises are yet another powerful way of increasing your metabolic rate.

Follow these two methods and you will soon be able to acquire the slim body you desire.
