How to Break a Weight Loss Plateau and Keep Losing Every Week

I am going to share how to break a weight loss plateau and set yourself up so you continue to lose weight every week without stalling. Hitting a plateau can be very deflating especially when you have been losing weight steadily doing the same thing you are doing now. The problems stems for your body's ability to adapt to your new strategies so the key to breaking free is to always keep your body guessing. If you can spare the next couple of minutes I will show you how simple it is to mix things up for your body.

How To Break A Weight Loss Plateau

1. Mix up your exercise intensity. Steady and consistent exercise will help you lose weight but you don't want your body to get used to your routine because when it does you are in for a plateau. At least one time a week mix up your routine by upping your normal exercise routine. You can increase your time spent exercising or increase your workout intensity.

2. Mix up your calorie intake. I know that it can be convenient to keep your diet consistent during the week but your body quickly adapts to this routine and if you have been keeping your calories low in order to lose weight your body will actually slow your metabolism down to compensate for the lower calories which puts you on a plateau.

To mix up your diet take one day out of the week and increase your calorie intake by 25%. For instance, if you typically eat 1,600 calories a day boost your calorie intake to 2,000. You might notice a slight increase in water weight but the corresponding boost to your metabolism will easily disperse this and you will notice that your weight drops every week.

3. Keep track. Keep a food and exercise journal to eliminate guessing. Very often a plateau can be broken just by keeping track which helps you stay accountable and not "forget" things. This also gives you a record to look back on to help you with your weekly weight loss.

There is not reason you cannot lose weight every week but you will have to understand how to break a weight loss plateau and how to design your plan to keep the weight dropping.
