Weight Loss Can Stall at Any Plateau

Set point theory suggests there is a weight range that is comfortable for your body to maintain. A weight loss plateau can be your body’s best effort at creating a roadblock to minimize your efforts. If you are concerned about some of the things you’ve heard about reducing your consumption of carbohydrates, it may be time to reconsider your position. Although no menu plan is a cure all, managing your carb intake can help you avoid setbacks. When it comes to helping you plan meals, lose weight, and keep the weight off for the long-term, Metabolic Research Center has been personalizing menu plans and providing the education to support thirty years of success stories.

Roadblocks and plateaus can be frustrating and even depressing but should be expected. Sometimes getting past a weight loss plateau can be as simple as waiting for your body to reset and allow you to move forward. Try these tips:

• Drink Water Before Meals - Drinking plenty of water can help combat bloating, but you can also consume water-rich foods as an appetizer. Cucumbers, watermelons, celery, grapes, asparagus, artichokes, and cranberries contain diuretic properties and high fiber content.
• Track Macronutrient Intake - Failing to plan is planning to fail. It sounds time consuming but tracking how much you eat of each macronutrient can help you implement a plan to overcome a weight loss plateau.
• Add Protein Throughout the Day - Fuel your workday or workout with high-protein nuts, such as almonds. They are rich in amino acid and can help your body burn more fat and carbs.
• Opt for Healthy Treats - If you are still hungry after a meal, enjoy fresh fruit like raspberries, mangoes, cherries, strawberries, or blueberries and avoid calorie-rich desserts.

Personalized menus are definitely the best option for people who suffer from food allergies and intolerances.
