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

If you're like the majority of people out there, no doubt you've tried various diets to different degrees of success. You could have lost a few pounds but you typically get to a certain point and then nothing you do can help you shed more. This plateau is hit by most people and is common amongst all the various weight loss programs. It's not possible to avoid the plateau problem if you don't figure out how to deceive your metabolism.

You've probably already faced the plateau problem which will probably have caused you a whole lot of frustration and ended more than one diet plan. This is an unusual thing that takes place to even the most successful dieters sometime near the third or fourth week of the diet they have chosen. Up to that moment, the weight drops off and then it just stops and nothing you do can get your body to lose more weight. This is one way your body responds to the changes that you have made. Your body shifts into a protection mode to prevent you from starving and it will slow down your metabolism. This, then, stops you from being able to shed more weight.

This is what makes people believe that they simply aren't capable of attaining their weight loss targets and they quit. At this point they return to eating, and putting on their excess fat back plus even more than they lost usually. The way to stop this is simply by using a diet where you transfer calories. What you want to do is eat a different number of calories daily, which purportedly helps you deceive your metabolism. If this works on your body it won't enter "protective" mode. This will keep your metabolism constant instead of slowing down and you're going to get rid of even more weight. Once you reach this point, you have passed the plateau and your diet will keep on working the way it was created to.

It is pretty simple to integrate this type of plan into your everyday routine. One of the most popular methods of caloric cycling is the 14 day method. This program will go for 14 days, where you do the standard plan for 11 days, and then 3 days where you eat what you want. You can rotate your foods during the day and trick your metabolism and then for three days eat what you would like to eat and stop the plateau. This also keeps you from getting frustrated at a strict regimen with your eating. Simply keep repeating the fourteen days until you've reached your weight loss objectives.

One other popular program is the 2 day plan in which you eat regularly one day and the next cut your calories by between twenty and thirty five percent. You do this every couple of days for as long as it takes you to achieve your weight loss goals. It's a program that you need to try, because it might be exactly what can get you past your plateau, to where you will get rid of all the weight you'd like.
