How Not To Plateau - Stepping Up The Pace

Making the decision to lose weight is a big step.Taking action is an even bigger step to take.  
 

Normally people have reasons for losing weight, this could be medical, or it could be emotional, or it could be other reasons. 
 

Whatever that reason is, you need to ensure that your why and your reason is strong in order to help you prepare for your journey ahead.

What most people seem to forget all too easily is that it takes time to put weight on and even a longer time maybe to take weight off. However if it is done in the correct way will ensure that it stays off and easy to maintain. 

It may be too much to expect pounds to fall off each week, instead what we should be looking at are the inches and how fit and well  you feel. 

Changing a diet can take a number of weeks or months for you to settle in to a routine, and for your body to settle into the routine.

 Really important point here please reread the paragraph above!

When we change the way in which we eat whether this is short term or long term, initially weight will start to come off. Drinking lots of water and including exercise will also expedite your weight loss. 

There does however come a time when the body will reach a plateau. This doesn't mean to say that your diet has stopped working. Which is the excuse or reason most people take to stop doing what they're doing. Instead, look at increasing your exercise and decreasing your calorie count.

Why?

Well, your body as it loses weight will need less calories and more exercise therefore this is something that we have to continually adjust when losing weight. 

People seem to forget when weight loss is occurring you have to reduce the amount of calories that you are actually taking into the body.

When you are of a larger size you actually need more calories to operate bodily functions such as digestion, breathing, the normal bodily functions of your organs working all need energy.  As you reduce in size you need less energy but you also need less food, and sometimes it is not something we think about to reduce.

The Body by Vi Boost Kit can help to keep you on track with two shakes a day and healthy high protein snacks for those of you with a sweet tooth.  You don't have to worry about what is in your shake or how much calories you are ingesting, that is what is so good about the 90 day challenge.

Having support and accountability is also important when losing weight or gaining weight.  It is all too easy to give up, but when you have a buddy you have to remain accountable.  The challenge works because you can do this with your friends, and the great thing is by doing it with your friends in fact just 3 of them, you will get your kit for FREE, and they can too.

Why Weighing Yourself Is Not A Good Idea When Losing Weight

 

What!  Did you just read that correctly?  Yes, I said it weighing yourself not only brings you undue stress when you see that the scales have not moved since you started your program (all of two days ago… lol!) or they have moved, but the wrong way up instead of down.  Not only does this send out negative vibes to you and your psychi, but also can sabotage your diet program.

The scales are not a true indication of weight loss by any means.  More accurately would be to measure yourself on a more regular basis, because if you are losing inches then the  program is working for you. If you have been on the program for a while and then see that your weight has increased rather than decrease, then look into why this may be. Are you losing inches in the process? Have you started a weight training workout recently?  Remember that muscle is heavier than fat, and if you have started to work out, or go to the gym, then you may be putting on muscles which is a good thing, as muscle burns calories and will eventually burn fat!

Shaping up is really the key to weight loss and if you recognise the fact that your skirts and blouses are a little looser, and the waist line in your trousers seems to not look so tight, then your onto a winning streak.

Complacency however , does not have a place here.  Remember inch loss is the first part of any weight management campaign, because after inch lose the weight loss will inevitably happen.

Another thing to recognise is the fact that people who have three or more stone to lose will quickly shed weight at the beginning of any program, this is usually due to water retention and not as many would hope that the diet program is a successful one.  Any diet will work if followed, but what makes the difference is how sustainable is that diet going forward on a long term basis.

Make sure you are drinking lots of water, as water is key to helping you break down fat and improving the circulation and metabolism.  Increase your fibre content if you find you are not losing fat.  SO there you have it, do not keep jumping on the scales ever two days.  If you have to and can’t resist then make it every two weeks.
