Increase Energy Burn to Break Thru Weight Loss 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 stall to minimize your efforts. Since experts estimate that two-thirds of the people who lose weight will regain all of the weight they lost, it makes maintaining the weight you’ve lost at each plateau even more important than you may have thought. 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. Accept the fact that reaching a weight loss plateau does not mean the changes you’ve made are not working. Everybody is different in how much time his or her body needs to adjust to their new weight.

• Drink Water Before Meals - Satiety is the opposite of hunger. The more satisfied you feel after eating a meal or snack, the less hunger you feel and the easier it is to lose weight and keep it off.
• Track Macronutrient Intake - If you track your macronutrient intake, you should never have to go to bed hungry. Allow for the right type of bedtime snack that can help to keep your blood sugar stable, which can release glucagon hormone to burn-fat.
• 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 - When your body is full, the most tempting foods that entice you to eat more are low in satiety and high in calories like baked goods and desserts.
