When You Stop Losing Weight

People who are on a diet fear the plateau. This is the point where no matter how hard you work, you don't seem to be losing weight. It looks like you are dieting and working out so hard for nothing. If you think you've reached a weight loss stall, remember that there has to be an upside (like when you lost weight before), a leveling off (like where you are now), and a down side (which you'll get to soon). Here are some things that will be the same at every weight loss stall you hit. It will help you in the long run to learn how to deal with them now. 

Following these tips, below, will help you get past your weight loss stall and get back on track:

• Keep working out: It's important to keep working out even if it doesn't look like you're losing weight. If you don't do this, the weight will come back. It might even be a good idea to up the amount or volume of your workouts if you are stuck in a plateau to help you get out of it.

 

• Keep Eating Well: Keep off the weight you've lost so far by eating healthy foods every day. Do not use your weight loss plateau as a reason to binge or cut your calories by a lot. Stick to the plan that has helped you lose weight so far. If you do that over and over, you will soon be past the peak.

 

• Set up a support system: Find a message board or a group of friends in real life and lean on them for help. You will be able to keep going after your weight loss goals even when things get tough. Try to make friends with people who are also dieting. These people will be very helpful to you while losing weight for free.

You are in charge of everything you do while you are trying to get past your diet stall. Every choice you make will affect how much weight you lose now and in the future. Keep making healthy choices as much as you can, even if the scale doesn't show it. 

When you work out a lot, you might be losing fat and building muscle at the same time, even though your weight doesn't change. Follow the tips above to stay with your diet and stay healthy. You'll soon be able to break through that peak and go down the scale like a rocket.
