Ways to keep the weight lose going

So I think we've all started a work put program and for the first few month things are awesome. We are losing weight and/or inches. We are feeling great. We are proud. People are starting to notice our progress. Our clothes fit better. We maybe even had to pull out a smaller size.

Then one day we step on the scale and see we've plateaued. We are doing everything the same and are wondering why we cannot lose those last few pounds.

Here are some ideas of how to keep the weight loss moving.

First maybe you should consider changing your workout. Try a different workout that works other muscles groups. Try something new. For me when I saw results slow with the 21 Day Fix I switched to Piyo. It used different muscles and was different in style and helped me loss more.

Don't want to invest in a new program? Try pushing yourself harder during your workout. Increase the weight. Increase your number of reps. Push yourself to where that last rep is so challenging you fell like you couldn't do one more.

My next tip is my down fall. Cheat meals! Cut out all cheats and treats till your next weigh in. You should only be weighing in when starting or finishing a new program. If you want to weigh in more often then no more than once a month. You don't need to be a slave to the scale. Cut out all cheats and treats till that time.

Drink more water. Most of the time you may think you are hungry but you are actually thirsty instead. Make sure you are drinking at least half your body weight in ounces of water. Also try drinking some hot lemon water. It will detox your body. It has many health benefits.

Limit your carbs. In the 21 day fix most categories have only 1-3 servings carbs. Limit these further to 1 or 2 servings a day. Maybe exchange a carb for a veggie if you are still hungry as the veggie will keep you fuller than the carb.

Don't eat fruit after 2pm. fruit has a lot of natural sugar. This natural sugar varies from fruit to fruit. For example pineapple has a lot of natural sugar. So try to not eat fruit after 2PM.

Lastly you can increase your protein and veggie. If you have a dairy or fruit snack switch it our for a veggie and protein. You need to get enough protein in your diet. Not getting enough will actually cause weight loss to stop.

Above all make sure you are eating enough! Some people starve themselves. They restrict their calories so much their bodies go into starvation mode and then they quit losing weight. So always make sure you are eating enough.

I hope these tips help you to continue your weight loss journey. I hope you have a blessed day.
