3 Tips to Save Yourself from Weight Loss Plateau
Losing weight is not as easy as it seems, especially when you start your weight loss program. Actually, for the first few weeks, you will diligently follow all the rules. You will go by the diet exercise plans as instructed by your doctor. During the first few weeks, everything will go well and you will start losing one or two pounds every week. Then suddenly, it would seem that you are not losing weight at the previous rate anymore! You maybe are losing less than half a pound of weight per week. If you have been in such a situation, it is called weight loss plateau. When you hit a weight loss plateau there is no need to get discouraged as there are several ways to put yourself back on track.
1. If you think that the rate at which you are losing weight has slowed down considerably over the last few weeks, start writing down what you are eating every day. Keep journal entries of all your meals and breakfasts. You will soon find that in the last few weeks you have been cheating on yourself and eating the ‘forbidden’ foods which you are not supposed to eat!
If you have been craving for certain foods after you have given them up, it is time to satisfy your cravings because satisfying your craving is way better than cheating. So, if you have been craving for burgers or sweets, eat them! Eat a burger once a week. One burger per week won't make you fat as hell, but it would definitely help to satisfy your cravings so that you are now more focused to lose weight instead of cheating on foods.
2. If you have been slack on your exercise schedule, it is time to become disciplined. Also try to increase your exercise level. For example, if you have been walking only for half an hour, try to increase that to at least forty minutes per day. If walking seems to be monotonous for you, why don’t you try other forms of exercises? There are several forms of exercises you can give a try such as bicycling, swimming, weight lifting, etc. Weight lifting is really one of the best ways to burn those extra calories fast!
3. Last but not the least; try to drink plenty of water everyday. It will stop you from feeling hungry all the time. As a rule of thumb, don't forget to drink water before mealtimes; it would make your stomach appear fuller and you would not be tempted to eat in excess.
Those are some of the easy weight loss tips you can follow. Hitting a weight loss plateau doesn’t mean the end of the road for you. I am sure that if you follow these tips, you will once again start losing weight at a fast rate.
