A weight loss plateau means that something has to change:
Add an additional day of exercise to your current plan…even if you exercise for just 10 minutes that day.
Increase the speed or resistance of your current exercise.
If you currently walk on the treadmill, walk at a faster pace or increase the incline.
Increase the amount of time you exercise.
Change the type of exercise you are currently doing.
If you usually walk, switch it up and bike, swim, or take a group exercise class.
Use the acronym: F.I.T.T. to remember these tips.
F - Frequency
I - Intensity
T - Time
T - Type
Re-examine the type of food you’re eating and the amount. Keep a food journal to find out if you’re eating more or less than you think and/or healthier than you think.
