How to Keep Your Weight Loss From Hitting a Plateau by Fooling Your Metabolism

How to Keep Your Weight Loss From Hitting a Plateau by Fooling Your Metabolism


by Jonas Varig


If you're like many people out there, you might have tried various diets to different degrees of success. You could have lost some fat but you usually get to a certain point and then nothing you do can help you lose more. This plateau is hit by most people and is common amongst the various diet plans. There's a new way of bypassing this plateau by trying to trick your metabolism.

You've probably already experienced the plateau problem which will probably have caused you a whole lot of frustration and ended more than one diet plan. This is a strange thing that takes place to even the most successful dieters sometime near the third or fourth week of the diet they have chosen. Up until that moment, the weight falls off and then it just stops and practically nothing you do can get your body to shed more weight. This is how your body responds to all of the changes you happen to be forcing upon it. Your body slows down your metabolism when you get to this point because it wants to protect you from accidental starvation. This, then, keeps you from being able to get rid of more excess weight.

This is what causes people to believe they are not capable of losing the weight they want, and they quit trying. At this point they return to eating, and gaining their excess weight back plus even more than they dropped usually. The best way to stop this is to select a diet where your calories just get shifted. This means that you eat a different number of calories each day which can help trick your metabolism. When this works, it prevents your body from flipping the switch and getting into protective mode. This can keep your metabolism steady instead of slowing down and you're going to get rid of even more weight. As soon as you get to this point, you have passed the plateau and your diet will keep on working the way it was created to.

It is really easy to integrate this type of plan into your day to day life. One of the most widely used caloric cycling methods is the 14 day method. The program will go for 14 days, where you do the regular plan for 11 days, and then 3 days where you try to eat what you want. Switch your food throughout each day to deceive your metabolism and then eat whatever you want to keep yourself from hitting the plateau. This really is very handy in keeping you on track with the more stringent dieting plans. Just keep on repeating the fourteen days until you've reached your weight loss objectives.

The 2 day plan is one other excellent plan in which you eat regularly for one day and then trim your calories by 20% all the way up to 35%. You do this every couple of days for as long as it takes you to achieve your weight loss goals. This program is wonderful for helping you get past your plateau and lose the weight you want to lose so you should really check it out.
