How to Trick Your Metabolism To Keep Your Weight Loss From Hitting a Plateau.

By James Steele


In case you are like the majority of people, then you have tried a number of diets, with varying degrees of success. You most likely lost some weight, got to a certain point and then, whatever you tried, couldn't lose any more. This plateau is hit by most people and is common amongst all the various eating plans. It's not possible to prevent the plateau problem if you don't learn to deceive your metabolism.

You most likely have already experienced this plateau, which will normally end the diet plan with lots of discouragement. This is an odd phenomenon, which happens to successful dieters roughly the third or fourth week of their diet. Until that point weight is coming off and then it just quits, and nothing works to keep the body slimming down. This is the body reacting to the changes you happen to be putting it through. Your body decelerates your metabolic rate when you get to this point since it wants to protect you from accidental starvation. What this does, then, is prevent your body from dropping any more weight.

This is what makes a lot of people believe that they simply aren't capable of reaching their weight loss objectives and they throw in the towel. At this stage , most people get back to eating and start getting back their weight usually more than they lost to begin with. The way to stop this is to pick a diet where your calories simply get shifted. This means you eat a different number of calories daily which can help trick your metabolism. If this works on your body it will not enter "protective" mode. This helps to keep your body's metabolism working, instead of slowing down, and your body goes on to lose weight. When you get to this point, you have passed the plateau and your diet will keep on working the way it was designed to.

It isn't really hard to work this plan into your daily schedule. One of the more popular caloric cycling techniques is the 14 day method. This method goes for 2 weeks: you do ordinary things for the first eleven and then during the last three you eat whatever you desire. Move your food throughout each day to deceive your metabolism and then eat whatever you want to keep yourself from reaching the plateau. This keeps you from becoming frustrated at a strict regimen with your eating. You can actually keep doing these 14 days over and over until you are content with your weight loss.

The 2 day plan is yet another very good plan in which you eat regularly for one day and then cut 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 arrive at your weight loss goals. This is a program that ought to get your attention since it could be just what you need to pass your plateau and lose all of the weight you would like to lose.
