Many people get stuck on a plateau somewhere on their path to their goal weight. Having set up your diet plan and skipping unnecessary calories and carbs as well as exercising regularly have gotten you far but now nothing seems to work anymore. Do you recognize this scenario?
You probably have and the good news is that there are things you can do to reset your body to increase metabolism once again.

Stop what you're doing for a month.
This is the simplest way to chock your body into burning fat again. If you have been on a calorie restricted diet for too long your body will set itself in a "survival mode" which means it is storing all the energy you're giving it. This can become a problem for you and make you get stuck on your weight.

To get rid of this problem you should start eating more calories and carbs again.
Eat pasta and potatoes etc but don't overdo it. You shouldn't skip exercise but maybe cut down on it just a little bit if you have worked out a lot lately.
Cut exercise in half.

Eating more calories will do one thing.
The leptin hormone will tell your brain you have spare resources that your body can use. Your brain then sends out another message to increase metabolism.

This is the opposite of what happens when you're on a low-calorie diet. So low-calorie diets can be counter productive. Wouldn't you rather be full than going hungry and still burn your fat?
If you do this for 1 - 2 months your body get used to burning more energy and then it is time to look over your diet and exercise again.

Cut down on carbs again and start exercising more regularly, especially strength training is important if you want to lose weight. Cardio isn't that important to focus on, quite contrary to what most people think.

During the resetting period you probably will add a few pounds, but it will come off again when you restrict your diet again.

Remember to make sure you do not do any dieting during the resetting period. This includes skipping intermittent fasting and other things you are currently doing to maintain your weight.
Doing the opposite of what you're doing can actually be the best way to reach your new goals. Give it a try and see for yourself how it works for you!

If your goal is to achieve permanent weight loss then a diet is the worst way to go about doing it. Your goal should be to change your lifestyle by eating the right foods and giving your body the proper nutrition it needs and by becoming more physically active.

When you go on a diet you eventually will go off of the diet and in return will put the weight right back on. If you instead change the foods that you eat with healthy nutritional foods your body needs, your body will naturally start to burn fat and lose weight.

What Happens When We Eat Less to Lose Weight.
When we deprive our body from food, by cutting down the amount of calories we eat, our body will go into starvation mode. Instead of burning fat (because we are eating less), our body will think that we are starving and will start to hold on to the fat we have for future use.

When our stomach growls it will send chemical messages to our brain that there is a shortage of food and our body will start to store fat so we may have energy to survive until food becomes available.
What Happens When We Count Calories To Lose Weight.

When our goal is to consume a certain amount of calories per day without paying attention to what kind of calories we are taking in, also works against us when we are trying to lose weight. All calories are not the same. If you compare 500 calories worth of chocolate cake with 500 calories of broccoli, you will see that both have the same amount of calories but the nutritional values are completely different.

They have different amounts of sugars, carbs, fats, salt, fiber etc. Because of this each food will be absorbed by our body differently. The healthy food with the proper nutrition (the broccoli) will enter the blood stream at a slow even pace.

This will give your body time to burn it and use it as it enters your system. However the unhealthy food will enter your blood stream very rapidly not giving your body enough time to burn it. As our body uses what it needs, whatever is left over will then be stored as fat.

As you can see dieting by eating less or unconsciously counting calories works against us when we are trying to permanently lose weight. The only way to achieve true weight loss and keep it off, is to eat natural whole foods that provide our body with the right nutrients it needs to function properly. This will lead to your body shedding excess fat without you even trying.

The good news is that you can eat these foods abundantly without having to starve yourself. There are plenty of options out there. Just stay away from processed foods that are high in fats, sugar and unhealthy carbs. Be good to your body and it will reward you with a slimmer waist line, beautiful looking skin and energy you never dreamed of.
