How to stop weight plateau?

[Anonymous]

TSIA. I tend to hit weight plateaus and stick at a weight for a few weeks then drop out of no where. Anyways to stop this?

Assuming you are on a diet you can hit a weight plateau if you constantly eat the same stuff at the same intervals everyday.

Also sticking to the same exercises as a routine will make you hit a weight plateau.

When you hit a weight plateau stick to raw vegetables and/or fruits for a day or two this will help the body break the monotony and your body will again respond to the diet.

People go in for personal trainers and those guys never give you the same exercises everyday, this apart from ensuring that you don't skip 2 rep or two when you need to do a whole set. Variations in the exercising pattern aids immensely in both fat loss and muscle gain :)

Thank you for selecting my answer as the MH buddy, I appreciate your kind & thoughtful gesture :)

& oops a typo (unlike me but happens) in the last paragraph, it's 'don't skip A rep or two'

Are you going on diets or something? Remember that in order to change your weight you have to change your eating lifestyle, you can't just go on a diet for a little bit then go back which would cause this.

I've lost like 60 pounds, I just hit weight plateaus often. I eventually get over them but it takes a few weeks. Any advice?

How did you lose the 60 pounds, through a diet? What I'm basically saying is that you have to eat consistently. Keep track of what you're eating and make sure your days and weeks aren't much different from your other days and weeks.

If it's not your diet I'd see a doctor if you're fluctuating between a lot of weight, because that's really unhealthy.

Diet and exercise, I count calories but I'm not super strict.

Just make sure you maintain that same diet and exercise that lost you the 60 pounds then. As long as your calories and etc. are close to the same that you used before you shouldn't fluctuate very much.

You have to be persistent, and consistent with your exercise and caloric intake. I hit a plateau and it took me months to break it. Good luck you can do.
