Have you been trying to loose weight, but have plateaued? What can you do to break that plateau?
Here are a few ideas for you. Try what feels like the right option for you.
My first suggestion is not for everyone, and might surprise you, but if you have been heavily dieting and restricting your calories to loose weight, you might need to add some now. After a while you body needs more calories to continue losing weight. One way to do this is to zig zag diet. This means to change your calorie intake every few days. One day you might start with eating 1800 calories then a few days later change it to 1400. Then back up a few days later. This will not only keep your metabolism guessing but help you learn what your body feels the best at.
Another thing to try is changing your workout routine, either harder or easier depending on what you were doing before. Your body adapts and gets used to a workout and needs you to chalenge it again to keep it guessing.
Make sure you are getting enough sleep. Sleep is when your body recovers, and if you do not allow it to recover your results will diminish.
Take some time to relax and de-stress. Evaluate your habits, and make those changes needed. If you need to add calories, do it slowly, only100 or 200 calories at a time, and give yourself time to see if it is the right move. If you need ideas for new workout videos, or meal plans, visit my website, and feel free to send me a message and I would be happy to help you. Bring It!
