Lose 15 Pounds This Month And Avoid The
Weight Loss Plateau
by Jason Clemens
Can you relate to the
following story?
Just the other day Jen walked into my office with a frustrated look
on her face...'I can't do this anymore, I quit!' She exclaimed.
'What's wrong?' I asked. Fully expecting what the answer was going
to be.
'I have hit the wall! She answered. I can't lose anymore
weight.'
There it was, the response that I had heard so many times before
and it was hardly uncommon. With a goal of losing 15 pounds this
month, Jen had started out wonderfully. In fact she had lost 5
pounds her very first week! She was doing all the right
things...
- -Her diet was
great
- -Her eating
habits were improving
- -And she was
exercising regularly
So why did she suddenly 'hit the wall'?
Experiencing a weight loss plateau is perhaps the number one reason
most people give up trying to lose weight. The weight loss simply
becomes such a struggle that they can't muster the effort to go any
further.
Perhaps this describes your previous weight loss attempt?
But why do we experience weight loss plateaus?
Many 'experts' would have you believe that it is completely normal.
That you can...No, that you should expect to hit a plateau when you
are trying to shed those extra pounds. But is this the truth?
Hardly!
Contrary to popular belief, weight loss doesn't have to be a
struggle. There are two primary causes for hitting a plateau. In
fact, only in very rare instances does someone hit a plateau that
was not caused by one of the following...
First and foremost, if you are a 'dieter', using weight loss
medication, or trying surgery you will hit a weight loss wall. The
vast majority of the fad diets and other weight loss methods that
are available can't be sustained. In fact, any diet or other method
designed specifically for weight loss will fail in the long run.
Weight loss is not a product that can be purchased, it's a
lifestyle. Unless you consistently eat the right food and follow
the correct eating habits you will hit a wall.
Which leads to the second of the two primary
reasons...Consistency.
Assuming that you begin to eat the correct weight loss food and
follow the proper eating habits, the only thing that can stop you
is lack of consistency. In fact, this is the exact reason why Jen
had 'hit the wall.' Like so many others, she began strong, but
after a short period she was falling back into her old patterns.
One week it was a harmless trip through the drive through and the
next it was two trips...You get the picture. Lack of consistency
will kill your weight loss results!
In case your wondering how the story ended...We corrected Jen's
consistency and she went on to reach her 15 pound goal.
It's not always easy to be consistent. However, the rewards are
more than worth it. If you consistently follow the correct plan you
can achieve amazing weight loss in a very short amount of time and
avoid the plateau.
