Reason For A Weight Loss Plateau
Here's
a weight loss story that I'm sure most dieters can relate too....
A
friend of mine walks into my office (we'll call her Abby) the other day
with a distraught look on her face. "What's wrong I asked?"
"I have hit the wall! I can't
do this any more!" She proclaimed.
She had started
her weight loss journey so fired up and she was losing weight very
quickly, but why had her results suddenly become non-existent?
She was doing everything right...
- She
ate the right food
- She disciplined her eating habits
- She
exercised
So what was going on?
Chances
are you have come to believe that hitting a plateau is just a normal,
inevitable occurrence when it comes to losing weight? That sooner or
later you're going to "hit the wall" and it will be a struggle from
there.
There is some truth to that belief...During
the weight loss process the weight seems to come off easier at some
times and harder at others. However, the weight should still
come off. What would cause someone to hit a wall?
Back
to our story...
It's true that Abby was doing
everything right, she just wasn't doing it all of the time.
You see, as often happens we start a weight loss program all
fired up. We stick to it for the first couple of weeks, but then
something happens...We begin to slide, don't we? WE ARE NOT CONSISTENT!
This
was the case with Abby. Abby had begun to let her diet slide.
One day she found she was short on time for her lunch break.
She did what most of us do and hit the drive through.
She did it once and noticed that it didn't hurt anything and
soon enough she was doing it a few times a week.
Does
this describe you?
The #1
cause of a weight loss
plateau is inconsistency!
Now
there is an exception to this
rule. The exception is fad
diets...If you are a dieter you will hit a plateau
guaranteed! Going on any one of the major fads, the Atkins,
Zone, South Beach will produce a plateau because they do not have the
correct weight
loss fundamentals.
However, if you're
consistent with the fundamentals, your chances of hitting a plateau are
very slim.
We addressed Abby's consistency and she
went on to
reach her weight loss goal.
