In This Week's Issue...

1. How to Break Out of a Weight Loss Plateau

2. 2003 Weight Loss Resource Guide


Hey ya'll, this week I'm featuring a guest article that
does a very good job of addressing a question I get asked
a lot:

"What do I do when my weight loss slows down or stops
completely?"

This is a common problem because the human body is designed
to adapt to any changes you make, especially in terms of
calorie-intake. So, if you think you're progress has
stalled, you're about to find out what you can do...

Enjoy!

How to Break Out of a Weight Loss Plateau
-----------------------------------------

What is a weight loss plateau?

You are on a diet, but you reach a period of time (two or
more weeks) where you can't seem to lose any weight. Your
weight may actually fluctuate 3 lbs up or down, but you
can't seem to break below this range.

You can experience a weight loss plateau for different
reasons:

1. You are consuming too many calories for the amount of
calories that you are burning off.

2. You are not consuming enough calories; your body
defends itself by slowing down your metabolism.

First, you need to determine if you are experiencing a
plateau or if your weight is in a state of normal
fluctuation. Weigh yourself once per week. If you have not
lost any weight after 3 weeks, you've hit a plateau.

Remember, people lose weight at different rates. If you've
lost even one pound after three weeks, you are still losing
weight and probably don't need to change anything. The
closer you get to your goal weight, the harder it will be
to lose weight.

Second, if you are experiencing a plateau, look at your
current diet and exercise patterns. The NutriCounter can
function as a measurement tool to see how many calories
you are consuming each day.

It will also help you determine if you are eating the
appropriate amount of carbohydrates and protein each day.
You should also keep an exercise journal that will help you
determine how much exercise you are getting each day.

Here are some patterns that you may need to break. (Note:
before trying any of the methods below, get your doctor's
advice. This is especially important if you have special
dieting needs.)

1. You should be eating at least 1200 calories a day if you
are a woman and 1500 calories per day if you are a man. If
you restrict your calories too much your body will start
stockpiling fat because it thinks you are starving.

2. You may try to break a plateau by decreasing the
percentage of carbohydrates and increasing the percentage
of protein that you intake each day.

3. Another common recommendation is not to mix your protein
and carbohydrates. If you have a protein breakfast, wait 2-3
hours before resuming your balanced meals.

4. Generally speaking, you should be exercising no more than
1 hour per day. However, ask yourself if your fitness
routine is intense enough? Simply walking around the block
for 15 minutes a day may not be enough for you. Each person
is different. Also, walking around the block may have been
an excellent exercise when you first started to lose weight,
but it may not be enough now that you've hit a plateau.

5. If you have recently added a fitness regimen to help you
lose weight, you may experience a slight weight gain for the
first few weeks, especially if part of that routine involves
weight lifting. This can be a very frustrating experience.
If you are engaged in an intense workout regimen, it may
help to measure yourself with a measuring tape, rather than
the scale. You will be putting on muscle and muscle will
burn more calories than fat, but it's also heavier.

6. If you are already on a low calorie diet and you are
sticking to it, then it is not recommended that you cut out
any more calories. Increasing your activity is really the
key to breaking out of a plateau. However, if you are
"supposed" to be on a low calorie diet but you are not
sticking to it, well, the answer is obvious: you need to
stick to it!
