Have you ever wonder why you have stopped losing weight if your keep doing your diet and exercises?
The answer is something that I call
Survival mode
Look, the human body always will try just one thing
To Survive
This means, your body will start adjusting all mechanism to preserve your life.
For example, Today you start consuming less calories, exercising and hence you lose weight. But, after some time of consuming the same calories and doing the same level of training, your body simply stops doing what it was doing, losing weight.
And it seems no matter what you do, your body just got stuck and refuse to lose a single pound anymore.
Your body sees one thing, your giving it less calories to use as energy and the fat that might use, is already burned, that is why you've lost weight... right! thus, it can't afford consuming more energy (lose weight), because your body got use to survive with the less calories you are giving to it (Survival mode)
So, how to overcome weight loss plateau?
First, you need something that is critical in this process
Patience
That's why losing weight takes time, your body needs time to adjust to the new regimen, of course it will depend of how much weight you want to lose.
Second, switch thinking
Actually, you don't want to lose weight, you want to burn fat.
Trying losing weight can fool yourself, because you could look slimmer and keep weighting the same or just have lost a few pounds.
Doesn't matter how much you weight, how you look is what it counts.
So, base your goals on clothes sizes and of course how you look on mirror, not in scales.
Third, push more and more!
Don't let your body get use to some regimen, if you want to keep burning fat, reduce one more size of your clothes or look slimmer than now, you have to adjust your diet and training methods every time you hit a plateau.
Cut down more calories, make more intense your training, go visit your physician, maybe you have some hormonal issues, that might be a extreme possibility, but I assure you just need to keep pushing some more and more in order to see new results.
