Introduction: Most MM who are losing weight will encounter a stagnation period. In the meantime, no matter how much you keep exercising, slimming will not be effective. What should I do if I encounter a bottleneck in losing weight? Here are three ways to break through the stagnation period.

Cause of stagnation

Reason 1: You are too used to the current exercise mode.

As we all know, it is very difficult to force yourself to form exercise habits, so many people will start with relatively handy exercise without too much pressure. But when you exercise for a period of time, remember to change sports, so that you can exercise muscles in different parts and keep the training fresh!

Reason 2: Insufficient muscle strength training.

In addition to challenging new sports, you must also check whether your exercise has trained muscle strength in addition to helping you burn calories successfully. Because training muscle strength can improve the body line, more muscles in the body can also improve the basal metabolic rate, even if you eat normally, you can lose weight more easily!

Reason 3: The slimming menu is too monotonous.

In order not to consume excess calories, there are actually not many ingredients to choose from in the diet. But don't eat the same thing almost every day because of this, so that the body can't supplement balanced nutrition through food, not only can't lose weight correctly, but also may lose health! So remember that as long as you grasp the principle of less oil, less salt and less sugar, it is ok to add a little flavor to the menu ~ ~ ~

What should I do if I encounter stagnation?

1, diet

Some MM choose to eat a single food to achieve slimming effect, such as eating only vegetables and low-calorie fruits, or eating only vegetables without eating. This method may have a certain effect at first, but when it comes to the weight loss platform, it is difficult to achieve the effect of losing weight by reducing eating or eating only vegetables and fruits. Moreover, the long-term lack of balanced nutrition will also affect your health, so you can add some protein at this time to restore your normal diet. However, when choosing food, it should be noted that the staple starch can be brown rice or whole wheat bread, and the dishes should be as light as possible, with less salt and less seasoning.

2. In sports

If you just rely on the same exercise all the time to lose weight, after a while, your body will adapt to this kind of exercise, and the same amount of exercise will no longer help you lose weight. Just like when you started skipping rope, you were tired and unbearable when you jumped to 100, but after a few days of persistent jumping, you found that you could easily finish this 100. On the one hand, it shows that your body has improved because of exercise, on the other hand, it also tells you that the energy consumed by this kind of exercise with the same intensity has decreased, and the effect of losing weight has become worse.

At this time, you can change from two aspects: on the one hand, you can increase the intensity of exercise, from skipping rope 100 times to 300 times now, from running for 30 minutes to running for 45 minutes now, and so on, to increase the intensity of exercise you have been doing for a while; On the other hand, you can change your exercise form. You used to run to lose weight, but now you jump rope. You used to jump rope, but now you swim. In short, choose a sport that your body is unfamiliar with, so that your body will consume more calories in the process of conquering this sport and lose weight with half the effort.

3. mentally

In the face of the weight that can't be lost, MM will definitely be hit hard. At this time, we should adjust our mentality like adjusting the weight loss plan, and understand that it is normal to encounter a platform period during the weight loss process. And giving up halfway will waste the previous efforts, so we must have confidence and stick to it will definitely break through this bottleneck.

Anyway, don't lose heart when you meet MM on the weight-loss platform. Modify your weight loss plan as soon as possible, and you will soon break through this bottleneck and carry out your weight loss to the end.
