Trick Your Metabolism So That Your Weight Loss Wouldn't Hit A Plateau

By Johanivo Gustavy


If you're like a lot of people out there, no doubt you've tried a number of diets to different degrees of success. You might have lost weight but you generally get to a certain point and then nothing you do can help you shed more pounds. This plateau that most people hit, is typical with virtually all diet plans. There isn't any way of avoiding this plateau if you do not deceive your metabolism.

You've probably already dealt with the plateau problem which will probably have caused you a whole lot of discouragement and ended more than one diet regime. This is a strange event, which happens to successful dieters roughly the third or fourth week of their diet. Up until that moment, the weight drops off and then it just stops and practically nothing you do can get your body to get rid of more weight. This is your body responding to the things you're putting it through. Your body goes into protection mode to stop hunger, so it slows down your metabolism. What this ends up doing is preventing your body from shedding any more weight.

This is the reason people stop trying to shed weight because, this plateau keeps them from believing that doing so is achievable. At this stage , a lot of 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 choose a diet where your calories simply get shifted. It means that you eat a different number of calories daily which can help fool your metabolism. If this works on your body it is not going to enter "protective" mode. This will keep your metabolism steady instead of slowing down and you'll shed even more weight. Once you get to this point, you have passed the plateau and your diet will keep working the way it was created to.

It is really simple to integrate this type of plan into your everyday routine. Among the most widely used methods of calorie shifting is the 14 day method. This method goes for 2 weeks: you do regular things for the first eleven and then during the last three you eat anything you want. Switch your food throughout each day to fool your metabolism and then eat whatever you want to keep yourself from reaching the plateau. This will also help you from being frustrated with a strict diet regimen. You can actually continue repeating these 14 days until you feel satisfied with the amount of weight you have shed.

The 2 day plan is yet another way, where you eat as usual for one day, and the other day you trim your calories by 20% to 35%. You do this every couple of days for as long as it takes you to arrive at your weight loss targets. This is a program that is deserving of your attention since it could be just what you need to pass your plateau and shed all of the weight you would like to lose.
