It happens to all of us at some point – the dreaded plateau!
Many of us get so fixated on the number on the scale, and that only makes us frustrated, discouraged, and worst of all STUCK. To move forward, we need to take a step back and change our mindset and focus to move forward.
If you really think about it, is it more important to lose weight, or to be healthier and feel better? For me, I want to look and feel healthy, not just be thinner, so I know a quick fix is not the answer because I don't just want to lose the weight – I want to keep it off.
There are many reasons for hitting a plateau or getting off to a slower start than we'd like. Everyone is different at the rate they lose weight and where they lose it, and it’s really easy to get discouraged.
The best dietary changes you make should not feel restrictive, overwhelming or hard to live with. This will ensure they are habits that can last a long time.
Many people growing up in this busy world, have grown up on processed foods. This may be a big change for you, so take it a step at time. Pick 1 or 2 changes to make now, and once those are in place, pick 1 or 2 more. This is the best way to make it part of a lifestyle change and something you can totally live with.
Transitioning to a healthier way of eating may seem daunting so here are some easy tips to keep in mind:
1. Eat vegetables at most meals. Think salads, side dishes, soups, or even adding veggies to your sandwich or wrap.
2. When you are having a craving for something sweet, opt for a serving of fruit to satisfy your craving.
