You still think there must be other reasons for your body weight? I’ve figured out something that may make you feel better. Haha. But trust me its true :) What else can you do to shed those weights?
1. You still haven’t tried FASTING.
Fasting can be a great tool to break through a weight loss plateau .Fasting is not only in the month of Ramadhan guys ;) If it’s too “hard” for you, try skipping breakfast and eat a late lunch. If that feels okay, skip breakfast and lunch the next time. Just take it slow and pay attention to your hunger. Eventually, try exercising in a fasted state to maximize the metabolic advantage. If all goes well, a successful fasting tames hunger, makes it less insistent and demanding.
2. You’re eating too much.
Low-carb isn’t magic. It reins in wild hunger and tames insulin, but calories do still matter – especially once you approach your ideal weight. In fact, those last few pounds often don’t respond to the same stuff that worked so well to get you to this point. Eating rice by the spoonful and ignoring those extra oily chickens without regard for caloric content may have gotten you this far, but you’ve got to tighten things up if things aren’t working. And that’s the real test, isn’t it? If the weight isn’t coming off, something’s up – and calories may need to come down.
3. You haven’t overcome bad habits or developed good ones.
Be brutally honest with yourself. Do you engage in bad habits? If so, identify them. Make tentative, loose plans to disengage from their clutches, and tell people close to you. Make it public, so you can’t back out without losing face. You’ve also got to develop good ones. Follow roughly similar guidelines as when kicking a bad habit – identification, planning, publication – and you’ll be on your way.
4. You haven’t purged your daily meal.
Out of sight, out of mind. Out of reach, out of mouth. Keep the crappy junk food out of your reach, if not out of your house altogether. Go down the list and toss the stuff that doesn’t apply.
5. You’ve reached a healthy homeostasis.
It may be that your body has reached its “ideal” weight – its effective, genetic set point. Reaching this level is generally painless and effortless, but it won’t necessarily correspond to your desired level of leanness. Women, especially, tend to achieve healthy homeostasis at higher body fat levels. Breaking through weight level can be hard enough, but a weight level ordained by the body itself can be nearly impossible. It’s probably going to take some serious tinkering with carbs, calories, activity levels, sleep, and stress. If everything else is on point and accounted for, you may be looking at healthy homeostasis. Then, the question becomes: do you want to mess with a good thing?
Now how bout that. Feeling better already? Finally got that feeling that it is all possible?
AWESOME!
