How You Can Trick Your Metabolism To Help Keep Your Weight Loss From Hitting a Plateau

By Wilson Resturbee


If you're like many people, then you have tried a number of diets, with varying degrees of success. It is likely you lost some weight, got to a certain point and then, no matter what you tried, couldn't lose any more. This plateau is hit by just about everyone and is common amongst all the various diet plans. You simply can't prevent the plateau problem if you don't learn how to deceive your metabolism.

You probably have already dealt with this plateau, which will normally end the diet plan with lots of disappointment. This is an unusual phenomenon, which happens to successful dieters roughly the third or fourth week of their diet. Up until that point weight is coming off and then it just quits, and absolutely nothing works to keep the body shedding weight. This is how your body responds to all of the changes you happen to be forcing upon it. Your body will go into a protection mode to prevent you from starving and it will decelerate your metabolic rate. What this ends up doing is keeping your body from dropping any more weight.

This is what makes people believe that they simply aren't capable of achieving their weight loss targets and they stop trying. This is where many people return to eating and start putting on back their weight usually more than they lost in the first place. The way to stop this is to go for a diet in which you simply shift your calories. What you want to do is eat a different number of calories daily, which supposedly helps you trick your metabolism. When this works, it keeps your body from flipping the switch and getting into protective mode. This will keep your body's metabolism rolling at its present rate as opposed to going slower and you'll keep dropping pounds. When you arrive at this point, you have passed the plateau and your diet will keep on working the way it was made to.

It's not hard to work this plan into your daily schedule. One of the most widely used caloric cycling techniques is the 14 day method. This program goes for 2 weeks: you do ordinary things for the first eleven and then during the last three you eat anything you want. You can move your foods during the day and fool your metabolism and then for three days eat what you would like to eat and avoid the plateau. This could also help you from being frustrated with a stringent diet regime. Just continue repeating the fourteen days until you've achieved your weight loss objectives.

Another popular program is the 2 day plan in which you eat regularly one day and the next day reduce your calories by between twenty and thirty five percent. You do this every two days for as long as it takes you to arrive at your weight loss goals. It's a program that you really should try, since it may be exactly what can get you past your plateau, to where you will lose all the weight you want.
