HOW TO BREAK THROUGH A WEIGHT LOSS PLATEAU
•
Have you ever felt “stuck” at a certain weight? Maybe you were losing weight steadily and then all of a sudden the loss “stalls” at a certain number. The scales just won’t budge for weeks!
•
Or maybe you’re getting back into a routine of eating healthfully and working out more, and yet you’re not seeing the results you’d expect for your efforts. Heck, you might as well go back to the coach potato routine, if it’s not making a difference, right? Wrong! Let’s nip that thinking in the bud.

5) Sprinkles! Once you’re sure that you’ve got the basic “ingredients” for fat loss in place (great mindset with positive self-talk, mindful, slow eating with awareness, intense workouts, adequate rest and recovery), THEN (and only then), you can break out the “fun stuff.” •
It’s time to crack open every #fatlosstrick in the book - try adding a spoonful of apple cider vinegar to a large glass of cool water and drinking it each morning to enhance your digestion. Have a cup of green tea every day. Add spices to your foods to speed up your metabolism.
•
At best, these tricks will work to move the weight, especially if you believe in them (mind over matter). At worse, none of them is “bad” for you, unless you’ve been specifically told to steer clear by your primary health practitioner. What have you got to lose (pun intended)?
•
Total credit to @jamessmithpt for the metaphor of baking a cake - you don’t worry about the sprinkles if you haven’t got the flour, eggs, milk, oil, sugar, etc., as well as a proper pan and oven and knowledge of the right length of time and temperature. •

4) Are you getting adequate rest and recovery? Sleep is so vital to ensuring optimal hormonal balance, digestion and overall functioning. •
Too little recovery can also stress out the body and run the risk of overtraining. This stress can wreak hormonal havoc and cause the body to hang onto stubborn weight, especially fat.
