• What do you do when you’ve been doing everything right and your weight loss has stalled?
  
  A plateau can be so frustrating, especially when you feel like your doing what you should – or what has always worked in the past.
  
  I gathered some tips from Health.com to help us out. Read the full article for more detail. https://www.health.com/weight-loss/weight-loss-plateau
  
  1. Do more strength training. More lean muscle boosts your metabolism and it doesn’t leave you as famished as a high-intensity cardio workout.
  
  2. Start measuring your portions. Overtime we can loosen our estimation of our portions and need a serving-size refresher.
  
  3. Try eating more! As you progress and workout more, your body actually needs more (healthy) food to burn calories.
  
  4. Add lean protein to every meal and snack. Protein will keep you full longer and may actually help lower your calorie intake for the day.
  
  5. Switch to shorter daily workouts. Shorter workouts may be better for weight loss, give you more energy for the day, and give you greater post-exercise oxygen consumption. (You’ll have to read the article for this one! 😀)
  
  Share below if you’ve hit a plateau or if you’re going to use one of these tips to ramp up your weight loss!
