There comes a time when your healthy weight loss plan falters as you reach a plateaus, so you need to stay committed and focused. Anyone who hits a plateau during their healthy weight loss plan should recognize that they have come a long way from the beginning point of their healthy weight loss journey. There are a few things that you can do to help stay focused even during a weight loss plateau.

When you first started on your weight loss journey did you write down any goals?

If you did, take a look at your success! You also might want to change some of your goals now that you have felt the benefits of your recent weight loss.

If you did not make any goals, now is the time to do so. Write down some realistic expectations of your healthy weight loss plan. This can include you beginning weight and your goal weight. Make sure to give yourself time to lose the weight. A healthy sustainable weight loss is recommended at 1-3 pounds a week, anything more could result in regaining the weight.

Have you become bored or notice that you are slacking in your exercise?

If you have, don't beat yourself up too much – this can happen to even the best of us!

Normally boredom will happen after you have been dedicated to the same exercise routine for a long period of time. This can be avoided if you switch up your routine and add new exercises.

If you are already switching up your exercises on a regular basis and still find it hard to stay focused there are several suggestions for this as well:

• • Find an exercise buddy
• Workout to your favourite music
• Join a gym
• Try an exercise video
• Skip the stationary machines and take your routine outside

Are you taking vitamins/supplements?

When individuals seek an aggressive or strict healthy weight loss plan they will often times miss out on very important vitamins/nutrients. Make sure that you are taking a good source of daily vitamins to help retain the proper daily amount. If you still do not see the results you are after try a natural weight loss supplement that will help boost your metabolism.

Plateaus will often occur due to the body changing during weight loss. This will often mean that you need to increase your exercise routine and re-evaluate your eating plan. Also keep in mind that changing the day and time that you workout, could also help avoid the ugly plateaus.

Overcome weight loss plateaus with food. When you eat the same thing everyday plateaus can show its ugly little head. If you are on a strict eating plan remember that you want to avoid eating the same food over and over again. Individuals who eat the same food over and over again will normally get bored with their food. Becoming bored with food is dangerous for someone who is trying to lose weight. It can cause individuals to cheat or go off plan. Make sure to include vibrant foods that are packed with flavour.
