If you are similar to a lot of people trying to shed some excess pounds, you have more than likely hit a weight loss plateau some time during your weight loss efforts. Unfortunately, these plateaus can make people quit trying to get in shape and can lead to yoyo dieting. Today you'll learn how to break through that weight loss plateau. You'll learn about refining your eating habits and then we'll take things up a notch by intesifying your workout.
It's pretty simple to lose the first 15 pounds when you have 50 pounds to lose, but it's far more challenging losing the last 15 pounds. The reason for this is your body has adapted to the new weight loss stress you put on it when you changed your diet and started exercising.
Another reason is that after beginning a diet, people tend to start to loosen up on the things they eat. Tiny little cheat foods start to creep in. If you really want to break weight loss plateau you have to get your diet dialed in and razor sharp. This means following whatever program you're on to a T. You need to count calories, weigh your food and document everything you ingest in a food journal.
In order to break weight loss plateau you now need to intensify your exercise regimen. You will be doing less steady state cardio (jogging, running on the treadmill) and start adding interval training. You can incorporate interval training with any of your favorite pieces of exercise equipment.
Interval training is simple but intense, instead of jogging at a steady pace on the treadmill, you're now going to incorporate briefs sprints to really elevate the heart rate and keep your metabolism burning all day long. Below you'll find a link to interval training routines.
