Plateaus
When I hit plateaus, I research all the possibilities for change. Here is the condensed list to give you options when it occurs to you:
Stalls requiring patience: - set points are a stable weight from the past. - fat cells depleted of fat staying alive by refilling with water before dying off - organ fat being replaced by healthy organ tissue - loss of inches rather than weight - fat redistribution to other body parts Stalls requiring change: - changed metabolism: more exercise, fewer calories, very low carbs - increased cortisol: de-stress by separating the problem from your self-worth, sleep more - check sodium intake levels to see if retaining water - micro nutrient malnutrition: change foods to vary micro nutrients - diet homeostasis: 2 day high fiber foods carb up, intermittent eating, calorie cycling up & down, different foods, eliminate particular foods that can cause stalls - nuts, dairy, artificial sweeteners - exercise homeostasis: am - pm spaced out exercise, vary duration, vary intensity, vary frequency, vary type of exercise, high intensity intermittent training, change % cardio to muscle building, - fatty liver: lose fat, up omega 3, low carb, more whey protein, more fiber, no sugar, no alcohol, no recreational drugs, limited medicine, few toxins, *less caffeine, less omega 6, (note: fasting can stress the liver as it has to convert so much body material) - lymphatic system: lymphatic drainage massage, lymphatic dry brushing, compression hosiery, lower sodium, drink lots of water - thyroid problems: check blood test results Good Luck |
