Trick Your Metabolism So Your Weight Loss Doesn't Hit A Plateau


If you're like many 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, regardless of what you tried, couldn't lose any more. The plateau thing is really fairly common--it is something that people deal with regardless of what diet plan they follow. There's no way of avoiding this plateau if you do not deceive your metabolism.

You've probably already had the plateau problem which will probably have caused you a great deal of discouragement and ended more than one diet plan. This is an odd thing that transpires to even the most successful dieters sometime around the third or fourth week of the diet they have chosen. Until that moment, the weight comes off and then it just stops and absolutely nothing you do can get your body to weight loss more. This is one way your body does respond to all of the changes you've been forcing upon it. Your body switches into protection mode to avoid hunger, so it slows down your rate of metabolism. What this does, then, is keep your body from dropping any more weight.

That is why people stop trying to lose weight because, this plateau keeps them from thinking that doing so is achievable. This is just what causes a lot of people to start eating again and they typically gain back more weight than they lost to begin with. The way to stop this is to choose a diet where your calories merely get shifted. What you really are trying to do is eat a different number of calories every day, which is supposed to deceive your metabolism. If this works on your body it will not go into "protective" mode. This helps to keep your body's metabolism working, instead of slowing down, and your body continues to drop some weight. As you reach this point, you have passed the plateau and your diet will continue to work the way that it was meant to.

It is not difficult to work this plan into your daily routine. Probably the most popular method of caloric cycling is the 14 day method. In this plan, you follow your diet for eleven days and then on the 12, 13 and 14th days you eat the things you truly would like to eat. Move your food throughout each day to trick your metabolism and then eat anything you want to keep yourself from getting to the plateau. This is also quite handy in keeping you on course with the stricter dieting programs. You can keep repeating these 14 days until you truly feel satisfied with the amount of weight you have shed.

The 2 day plan is yet another way, where you eat regularly for one day, and the other day you reduce your calories by 20% to 35%. Keep on repeating the process for as long as it takes you to achieve a satisfactory level of weight loss. It's a program that you should try, as it may be exactly what can get you past your plateau, to where you will lose all the weight you'd like
