Unlock Your Body’s Hormone Release Mechanisms

A weight loss plateau is the point where steady weight loss stalls. However, plateaus are very important because your body is adjusting to change, so don’t lose faith in yourself or your weight loss plan. Be patient. If you give in and try to rush through a weight loss plateau, it can damage your metabolism and send your body into a tailspin. Do not go back to your pre-diet habits or you might gain back more weight than you lost. To break through a weight loss plateau, you might create a progressive overload by incrementally increasing your energy burn, such as adding new exercises to your existing routine. A weight loss plateau can last for several weeks, but the actual amount of time can vary greatly from one person to the next. Nonetheless, it is critical that you maintain your healthy habits during a stall to protect the weight loss you’ve already achieved.

• Manage Your Stress Levels - Exercise can help you lower stress levels and may help decrease symptoms of anxiety that may be interfering with your sleep. Love your body and be more mindful to get passed your plateau.
• Eat Healthy Carbs - Dietary carbs are your body's primary energy source and fuels everything from breathing to thinking to running. Unprocessed foods provide healthy carbs along with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and micronutrients.
• Do Not Skimp on Protein - It is always a good idea to cut out refined carbohydrates. These and processed foods don’t have a place on your weight loss journey. However, adding a few complex carbs might get you over a plateau.
• Try Intermittent Fasting - With intermittent fasting, you only eat during a specific time. Fasting a specific number of hours each day, can help your body burn fat to get over a plateau.
