Do you have any advice for how to deal with weight loss plateaus?

I'm not experiencing one currently but I know I will eventually as most people who have a lot of weight to lose do. Is there anything I can do now to prevent them from happening, and if one does occur, how do I get past it?

Watch a movie called ';the beautiful truth';. Verify the facts and pay close attention to the details.





Ride a bicycle habitually and you will have your weight loss.





DO NOT DRINK ANYTHING BUT WATER!Do you have any advice for how to deal with weight loss plateaus?
1. Modify Workout Routine





Your body might have mastered the movements of a particular workout, which you have been doing for a long time. Now that the body has stopped the fat burning process, it is the time to modify the workout, or switch over to another exercise. If you had been doing the same exercises repeatedly, replace them with new ones. For instance, if your body was trained to do cardio, opt for the stair-climber, a rowing machine or a treadmill. This way, you will be able to kick-start the fat burning process once again and break the weight-loss plateau.





2. Concentrate On Diet





Cut down on your carbohydrate intake. Instead, increase the consumption of multi-grain foods. Stay away from food stuff containing refined sugars, such as pasta, cakes, sweets and white bread. At the same time, increase the daily dose of proteins. Apart from promoting the build-up of strong lean muscle tissues, protein has been proven to be beneficial in accelerating the fat burning process. Instead of eating three heavy meals, eat six smaller meals a day. This will help a great deal in breaking your weight-loss plateau.





3. Increase Strength





Strength training will increase bone tissue strength, boost the metabolic rate of your body and increase lean mass as well. It helps a great deal in overcoming the weight-loss plateau. Building muscles is vital, because they help the body burn more calories. This further helps in revving up the metabolism rate, once again. Resistance training should be incorporated in your program, if you don't want to go for strength training. To make your body burn more calories, you need to increase your muscle mass. Start weight training for the purpose.





4. Break Regular Eating Routine





Sometimes, you need to keep your body guessing! It becomes vital, especially when you have hit the weight-loss plateau. When you follow the same diet daily, your body gets used to the said amount of calories and leans to manage in the same. So, break the routine. Instead of consuming the same calories daily, follow the calorie cycling process. For instance, if you have consumed 1500 calories today, take 2100 calories tomorrow. You may switch back to the original intake the following day. By not maintaining the same weekly or daily intake of calories, your body will recognize that the consumption is not same all the time.





Hope this helps.
Body weight (gain or loss) depends on balance between what u take and what u utilize, utilization of calories intake depends on what is known as basal metabolic rate or energy expenditure, so balanced food intake and suitable exercise (walking is at least), avoiding junk food stuff as it contains high fat contents, your body program its energy expenditure, so if u decrease food intake massively on long term will program your body to utilize the least amount of energy, so any increase in food intake will lead to weight gain, again its a balance between what u eat what u utilize regarding calories
I have been through it all and know what's it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can't be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I've worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.





Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.





First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can't eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising...





This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it's good for the heart.





However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It's so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I've found a great addition to help any one out, it's a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don't get all crazy on me and say diet pills don't work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn't meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It's an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace dot com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it's the best pill I've tried and I've tried cupboards full. Now this doesn't mean you have to follow my foot steps but I've successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.





Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.
Shake things up!





Plateaus are sometimes caused by someone getting sloppy because they feel restricted about their routine/diet.





Treat yourself to something new and different that is not food.


Splurge on some Goofy (Miniature) Golf or an indoor climbing wall.


Go to an indoor roller rink rent some quad skates.


Go horseback riding.


Just go down to the park and play on the monkey bars.

i dont have a good answer .. i used to have a problem with pigging out and comfort eating and that just stopped working for me when i got to be about 18 and i started packing some pounds on and i just started skipping meals and eating less and paying attention to my metabolism, if its slow i eat less or increase fiber, i also try to do somthing physically active enough to sweat alittle bit at least once a day and i dont have a problem now, i actually have to watch it or i'll lose too much .. it just got to be routine, i dont comfort eat anymore and i actually feel more tired if i eat too much or too often ..it takes awhile though to change your routine around to what works u just have to do it ..
i recently lost 29 pounds and then hit a plateau. it was very frustrating at times. i felt like just quitting because no matter what i did, the weight wouldn't budge. i just changed up my exercise routine and lowered my calories from 1500 to 1200 and today my weight finally dropped. yay. my advice is to just try different things to see what works. you will feel like quitting, but just remember how far you have come and you won't want to mess that up. good luck.
The basics of weight loss are not as complicated as people make it out to be. You need to simply change your diet to healthy whole foods, fruits and veggies and get plenty of exercise.





This is hard to do for most of us because we are tempted with junk foods all the time.





If you want a structured diet plan that will tell you the types of food that you can eat and when you should eat them you can find diet plans that will do that at
