Trick Your Metabolism So Your Weight Loss Wouldn't Hit A Plateau

By Kayla Milliway


If you're like the majority of the people out there, you will have tried a number of different diets and obtained a different degree of successes. You most likely lost a little bit of weight, got to a certain point and then, whatever you tried, couldn't lose any more. The plateau thing is really quite common--it is something that people deal with whatever diet plan they follow. There isn't a way of avoiding this plateau unless you deceive your metabolism.

You probably have already hit the plateau at least once--in fact, it has possibly caused a frustrating end to more than one diet program. This is a strange 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 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 goes into protection mode to prevent hunger, so it slows down your rate of metabolism. What this does, then, is stop your body from losing any more excess weight.

This is what makes a lot of people believe that they simply aren't capable of reaching their weight loss targets and they quit. This is just what causes most people to start eating again and they typically gain back more weight than they lost in the first place. The way to stop this is to pick a diet where your calories merely get shifted. What you want to do is eat a different number of calories every single day, which supposedly helps you deceive your metabolism. If this works on your body it is not going to go into "protective" mode. This can keep your metabolism steady instead of slowing down and you are going to shed even more weight. When you get to this point, you'll have passed your plateau and your diet will keep working the way it was created to work.

It isn't really difficult to work this plan into your daily schedule. One of the more popular calorie shifting techniques is the 14 day method. The program goes for two weeks: you do typical things for the first eleven and then during the last three you eat whatever you desire. You can rotate your foods during the day and deceive your metabolism and then for three days eat what you wish to eat and prevent the plateau. This is also pretty handy in keeping you on the right track with the stricter dieting programs. You can keep on repeating these 14 days until you really feel satisfied with the amount of weight you have dropped.

One other popular program is the 2 day plan in which you eat normally one day and the next day reduce your calories by between twenty and thirty five percent. Keep on repeating the process for as long as it takes you to attain a gratifying level of weight loss. This program is perfect for helping you get past your plateau and lose the weight you want to lose so you should definitely try it out.
