2 Simple Methods to Subdue Fat Loss Plateau

By Thong M. Dao

You were probably losing weight successfully for the first few weeks after you joined a new diet program, only to be stuck to a certain point later. Whenever we begin a dieting plan we quickly drop off some pounds, as most dieting plans are made to offer you 'quick fat loss'. Unfortunately enough, this 'fast fat loss' is generally 'short-lived' fat loss.

You'll slim down really rapidly for the first couple of weeks however then, you'll find out that the scale isn't declining any longer! You're not shedding any more pounds than what you've lost already! You have hit a situation commonly known as weight loss plateau! In that position, the sole cure is a thorough overhaul of your life style 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 weight. As an outcome your body became used to your dieting and workout routine. If that took place, your fat loss techniques failed to produce any sustainable outcomes!

When you wish to go beyond this stage, you have to modify your dieting and workout regime. Here are two methods you need to follow to get out of the weight loss plateau.

1. Calorie-counting isn't the path to go: Once you calculate your energy, you essentially restrict the consumption of energy to an abnormally low degree. 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 consequence is that your metabolism all of the time stays at a really low degree. Once your metabolic process is down, you aren't capable to cut pounds!

So to burn off pounds and slim down with success, you must ignore calorie calculating and consume enough therefore your body is affected to maintain your metabolism at a higher degree. Your body needs fuel to burn fat, and it can get that fuel only from foods!

2. Exercise more: If you have been avoiding exercises altogether, or have been doing only light exercises, then you cannot lose weight. Fat loss is easier when you do high intensity exercises regularly. Rather than being frightened of workouts, attempt to enjoy 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!
