Stuck in the dreaded weight loss plateau techniques

Suffering from a weight loss plateau? There’s no sense tossing away all the hard work you’ve put in when by making a few adjustments, you can accelerate your progress forward.
Let’s have a quick peak at a few of the top workout techniques that you should try out if you’re stuck in that dreaded weight loss plateau.

Introduce Interval Training 

The first and probably most effective way to bust through a plateau is to introduce interval training. If you’ve been slugging it out on the treadmill, bike, or elliptical, doing moderate paced sessions for what seems like hours on end, this has got to change.
These types of workouts are just not going to produce the high level of results you’re after so really should be avoided in the first place.

Substitute periods of very high intensity work with periods of lower intense workout for 30-60 second intervals. Do that two to three times per week and watch your results soar.

Change Weight Lifting Formats

Next, also consider changing around your strength training program. If you’ve been using free weights for quite some time, think about switching it up and using weight machines instead.
Or, try kettlebell training.

Even just changing some of the exercises you’re doing around can be enough to totally renew the program and get you seeing faster results.

If you’ve been pushing hard for a very long time, chances are your body is quite exhausted and could use the break.


Creating An Extreme Weight Loss Diet Plan

Looking for extreme weight loss success? Have a deadline to reach for your weight loss goals?

Whatever the case, if you are in a hurry to shed the excess weight you’re carrying around, chances are you’re on the hunt for one of the ultra low calorie diets out there. While you should never use an extreme weight loss diet plan for the long haul (as they will cause harm regardless if carried out for extended periods of time), over the short term, if done right, they can be safe to use.

Let’s go over the main points that you must know if you’re going to be creating an extreme weight loss diet plan for yourself.
Focus On Protein

The first component to get in place on any extreme weight loss diet plan is protein. If you start to lose lean muscle mass, which is quite common on extreme weight loss plans, you’re headed for long-term trouble
.
Get Your Greens

So for any dieter on an intense diet program, that’s really a win-win scenario.

Eating more greens throughout this diet is only going to make your life that much easier.

Drink More Water

Very low calorie diet plans do tend to have dehydrating effects on the body, so to avoid this from happening to you, make sure that you are staying as well hydrated as possible.

Keep A Calendar

So there you have the main points to know about extreme weight loss diets. Do these wisely and you will see fast results and meet your weight loss deadline.


Can You Trust A Weight Loss Chart?

As you go about your weight loss program plan, one thing that you’ll want to consider is whether a weight loss chart is really the best way to measure how you’re doing with your program.

Many people use weight loss charts as they assess their progress and how they’re doing, and it can really control their emotions.
The first problem with weight loss charts is that they can encourage you to go to extremes with your diet plan if you’re going to aim to see as fast of fat loss as possible.

Basically, if you see that you’re in the overweight category and have 15 pounds to lose to get to normal weight, that gives you a firm amount of weight to shed and you may think the faster you can do this, the better.

The second reason why a weight loss chart isn’t going to be ideal is because they don’t factor in muscle tissue.If you’ve been building a high amount of muscle through intense workout sessions or are just naturally muscular as you’ve been athletic your entire life, the weight loss chart will not account for this.

Finally, last but not least, if you’re a teen or a parent of a teen who is using the chart for them, realize that teens do grow at different rates and it can take a bit of time for their body weight to normalize to the weight they will naturally be at as an adult.

For this reason, avoid using the weight loss charts for teens. If your teen or you are slightly heavy, be patient. Let your body finish its growth process and then you can focus on dieting if need be.

Overall, weight loss charts typically are not the best approach to be using.


Can You See Extreme Weight Loss And Stay Safe? 

If you’re on a fat loss program at the moment, one of the top things that you may be questioning is just how fast you can lose weight and stay safe while you do it.

What’s the most extreme rate of weight loss that you should even consider?

Your Diet Time Frame

Remember, all diets are essentially ‘starving’ you to some degree. If you plan to diet for more than a couple weeks, you’re better off accepting a slower rate of weight loss and making sure that it stays off for good.

How Much Weight You Have To Lose

Moving along, also ask yourself how much weight you have to lose. Are we talking a couple pounds here?

If you have more than 10 pounds to lose, you aren’t going to do that using any extreme weight loss plans and stay safe.
Get on the intense diet and get off it just as fast.

The more intense the diet is, the faster you’ll lose that weight anyway, allowing you to come off that fast.

But, if you have many pounds to lose, you simply aren’t ever going to lose them ‘fast’.

Your Body Tendency 

Finally, also consider your body tendency. Do you tend to store fat easily? In that situation, you may not perform so well on extreme weight loss diets. Extreme weight loss may be possible in some cases, but in many where there is more weight to lose, a moderate approach is the safest bet.
