Tips On Breaking Weight Loss Plateau

how do i break a weight plateau?

I have been on Quick Weight Loss plan for 4 months. I dropped 35 lbs in 2 months and then nothing. I have been wavering in between 10 lbs for 8 weeks now and have not gone down a pound. I am eating eggs, one other protein(chicken, salmon, mahi mahi, tuna, turkey…) TONS OF VEGGIES, LOTS OF WATER, NO SALT, 3 fruits a day, and a protein bar. I am not starving myself, infact i eat ALL DAY LONG. I work out atleast 4 days a week. No weight training just cardio. I swim, run, or bike atleast an hour a day. I have 50 more lbs i need to loose before i get married but i can’t seem to get over this hump in the road!! Any tips?

YES…I HAD the SAME problem as you are having…So, here’s what I did to kick my weight control up a notch! Follow these suggestions:
1.) Drink ice cold water fast! Ice cold water makes your body burn fat to heat the ice cold water back up to body temp.
2.) Eat peppered beef jerky! The spices in the beef jerky, can actually speed up your metabolic rate…And also, there’s A LOT of protein in beef jerky, which really helps suppress your appetite!!
3.) Kill your cravings! Foods that kill cravings: veggies (raw, preferably), fruits, water, and like I just mentioned…Incorporate lots of protein-enriched foods, like fish, lean meats: chicken (no skin), turkey, and protein bars…Try a brand called, “Pure Protein”…there’s 20grams of protein in 1 bar!
4.) Drink green tea! This tea helps to increase your metabolism to burn more fat!! You can drink it cold/bottled, or hot.
5.) Limit carbs! This is an EMERGENCY weight loss trick. If you stop eating carbs. (or limit them) you’ll lose an extra 5lbs. or more really quick by burning up all the stored carbs in your body…This is a trick not many people know about, but I’ve learned from my personal trainer! However, don’t stop eating them for the long-term basis, as complex carbs. help to fuel your body, and provide energy! Just limit them.
6.) Exercise in the morning! Do about 30-60 minutes of aerobic activity…If you have the time…do an hour. The reason for working out first thing in the morning–is that your stomach is pretty empty from the night before, so your body is actually forced to feed off the stored fat in your body for energy!
7.) Get in the habit of walking for 10 minutes after you eat! Your body burns the calories to digest the foods you eat, and if you walk for 10 minutes after you eat, you will increase the amount of calories you burn during digestion! Plus, if you eat 3 times a day…and you walk 10minutes after you eat each time…There’s 30minutes of exercise right there!
Also, feel free to email me, if you have any questions, or concerns!
