Make Sure You Are Not Overeating

Some experts claim that your body does not know the difference between intentional weight loss and famine, which is why your body may try to hold onto its stored fat deposits by lowering your metabolic rate. 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. 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. When your weight loss journey comes to a screeching halt, understand that no sustainable plan is going to be linear, and plateaus are important steps along the way to long-term weight maintenance.

• Drink Water Before Meals - You do not need a higher calorie intake to get a higher level of satiety. Drink water before each meal to feel full faster while consuming fewer calories.
• Track Macronutrient Intake - To make tracking macronutrients easier, reduce the number of food options you have. In the long haul, you are likely to cut down on grazing and make better choices when you reach for a snack.
• 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 - Prepping healthier homemade snacks can help you grab a quick fix without hitting up the drive-thru or reaching for convenient processed foods.
