It's gonna happen, you can't control it but you can work through it. The fact of the matter is that this process is not as breezy as you think. I am here to give you the reality of it, sugar coating nothing. You will eventually Plataeu, some sooner and some later than others. Do not let this discourage you, plataeu simply proves how consistent you have been with your regime and this is great but its time to move forward to bigger and better things. It's time to challenge your body and work it towards becoming the best its ever been.
When you Plataeu your body simply becomes accustomed to the workouts you have been doing and the number of calories you are consuming. It is time to change it up, step it up. How much cardio were you doing each day? Add 30 minutes to this. Where you using weights or doing and strength training? If not now is the best time, I am not saying bulk up but It is time to tone up those arms and legs. I started with two 3 pound weights to work on my arms, this one small step makes a huge difference in your workout. Also change up and intensify your cardio. Were you walking? now step it up and jog or run. If you hike like I do increase your distance and intensity. Remember guys, we have the formula to this solution its a matter of using the formula to actually solve the problem. You may also need to switch up your eating regime. I started eating small meals every two hours.
Here is an example of what I ate today:
8am: Corn Flakes 1 cup (no milk)
10am: Banana half
12noon: Chicken cutlets, brown rice, & cucumber
2pm: Small Tomatoe & other half of a Banana
4pm: Baby Carrots
6pm: Chicken & Steamed Veggies
8pm: Fruit or Yogurt
**This may be really challenging the first week because as your metabolism speeds up you will feel very hungry more often through out the day but you will get used to it!! I promise!! Nothing is impossible.
Let's move forward from the challenge of Plataeuing, as we continue to reach our goal weight. Are you going to let this discourage you?
