Overcoming weight loss plateaus

Why are your results flatlining? 2 reasons, a metabolic adoption to your current diet and exercise regime “homeostasis” which is just a sexy term that describes your body’s preference to stay the same or body has found it’s comfort zone.

2- there have been accumulated changes in your current exercise and eating routine that are causing you to eat more or burn less calories with exercise, and you aren’t aware of it. This is why I stress the importance of assessments. At the beginning of your program the weight may seem to be melting off, but as you get more healthier and fit, your body is going to require more work load to be challenged and get uncomfortable again. This is when new stressors need applied.

Adaptation is a disadvantage to us as we improve fitness levels. Don’t try to change too many variables at once this will lead to confusion and you won’t know what’s working or not.

START WITH

* Drinking More water

This will aid in appetite control, improve workout performance, speed recovery, and keep you from overeating or eating out of boredom.

* Increase workout intensity

Add more reps, just add 5 more lbs to weight you’re currently doing.

* Increase daily activity

Don’t confuse busy with active. Add mobility and stability work daily to insure joint and muscle health.

• * Improve food quality

• Decrease sugar intake, and start eliminating processed foods is a great place to start.

• * Sleep

• This is a secret weapon we all have access to and misuse it. Sleep is key to recovery enabling you to be more active and train harder during your training sessions.
