So you’ve hit a weight loss stumbling block and are now left scratching your head.
You have been eating healthy, have stayed away from sugary treats for weeks, but have plateaued in terms of your weight loss.
Don't worry, this is very common.
Before you get too discouraged, you should understand that it’s normal for individual weight loss to slow down and even stall for a while.
Your body has adapted to your diet and training programme and it's now time to shake things up a little.
Here are four key changes that you can make to kick start that weight loss and get your fitness back on track:
(1) Keep your plate balanced - Cutting whole food groups is NOT advisable. Zero carbs is a hugely popular trend at the minute and whilst it does lead to quick results, it is not sustainable over the long term. Carbs provide the body with fuel, providing you choose them wisely and are accurate with your timings. Complex wholemeal carbs after training is best, as you are in a better state to absorb them.
(2) Hydration, hydration, hydration – Not drinking enough water throughout the day inhibits your progress and slows everything down. Keeping on top of water throughout the day also helps stave off hunger and those dreaded cravings. To test hunger vs thirst, the next time you feel hungry, grab a glass of water. If you still feel the same 20mins later, then go ahead and eat.
(3) Track calories - Attention to detail is key. You need to create a consistent calorie deficit, which means tracking the calories you’re consuming and the calories you’re burning. This may sound time-consuming and tedious, but its been proven an effective strategy.
(4) Lift weights – Females get turned off by the prospect of lifting weights and have this fear that they will transform into some kind of incredible hulk. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Mixing cardiovascular training with weight training leads to greater weight loss. Bones will become stronger and you can blast away any fat and stress.
