If you've successfully changed your eating habits and have lost weight steadily for the past several weeks but now notice that your progress has halted, it could be that you've hit a weight loss plateau.
I know there's nothing more frustrating when you've been trying your best and the scale won't budge. But don't give up! Weight loss plateaus happen from time to time. With a little patience and tweaking of your daily routine, you can get the scale moving in the right direction again. And don’t forget to take your measurements because if you do it right, you will lose more inches than weight since muscle mass weighs more than fat.
Jump-start Yourself with a Little Variety
When you do the same thing over and over again, your body becomes very efficient at those particular exercises. Trying something new or different during your workout can challenge your muscles and jump-start your body again to lose more weight. Switching things up can also make physical activity fun again - you'll work a little harder, feel a little more challenged, and burn more calories.
Change the Type of Activity
If you've been doing an aerobic activity such as walking, try running, swimming, or cycling - or a group fitness class like spinning or kickboxing if you really want a good workout.
Change the Duration or Intensity of Activity

Change the Duration or Intensity of Activity
Add 10 minutes to your routine or increase the intensity of what you are doing. If you've been walking on a flat surface, try adding a few hills to your routine. Walk at a faster pace for the first half of your walk, or all of it if you can. Alternate your fast and harder workouts with easier ones.
Change Your Strength-Training Routine
If you've been working out at the gym on machines, try moving to free weights. If you've been doing free weights, try the machines or experiment with resistance bands. If you've been exercising the same muscle groups, try some different machines or exercises that work other muscle groups or increase the number of repetitions you do for a particular exercise.
If you try all these changes and you are still struggling with your plateau, give us a call and we’ll help you achieve your ideal weight.
