Breaking Weight Loss Plateau

Breaking weight loss plateau?

I am 21-years-old and 5’4 which is short for a male. I put on weight quite easily and it shows because of my body frame. I started dieting in April and for the past couple weeks have been walking like mad 3 miles a day. I figure I am consuming about 1800 calories a day. I now weigh 161 pounds which is a 9-pound loss since I started. The problem is my weight has stayed stuck there for the past couple weeks, even with the more intense walking regimen. I still need to lose at least 10 to 15 more pounds. Way too early to plateau! Any suggestions that might work?

Alternate exercises. After doing just one exercise for awhile, ones body learns to do it more efficiently and therefore burn less calories. Try biking or weightlifting or something else for a week or two.

Also make sure you’re not eating any white foods. White flour, white rice, etc. They have very little nutritional value and really pack on the weight.
