How do you get off a weight loss plateau?

Answer 1

Change your exercise routine, even if it's good. I went from daily cardio to a mix of Circuit training, cardio and interval training and while the scale didn't move everyone says I look better and my clothes got looser. I did this spending less time at the gym and eating the same. It's probably not what I did, just that my body had got used to the old thing.

Answer 2

After losing an initial amoutn of weight quickly, your body is likely to slow down to a more normal pace. To help with plateaus, change or increase your exercise regimen and choose high bulk-low fat food items.

The exception to this is if you're starving yourself or are on severe calorie restriction. In that case, your body thinks it's starving and slows the metabolism in order to save what calories it gets. That's why it's important to eat correctly.

Anyone who in on a diet will hit a plateau and the weight could stop right there for up to 2 months. Hang on! The weight will start to drop off again. The body is just catching up to the adjustment of weight loss.

Answer 4

Sometimes not being able to lose those extra pounds are due to the chemicals or insecticides in our foods, try eating more organic.
