When you embark on a weight loss process, you have to face many advantages such as a more toned silhouette, better physical abilities or even a good quality of sleep… But there are also small hassles, such as the lack of motivation that prevents us from staying the course… And if finding the motivation has not been easy, keeping it is even less so, especially when we have the impression that the efforts no longer pay off. So, in order not to throw in the towel, all you have to do is restart the process of loss. We give you our effective tips for staying the course.
We avoid the balance
How to restart the loss when the hands of the scale do not deign to move? The first thing to do is therefore to move away from the scale. The fact that the displayed weight stagnates can demoralize us, especially when we spend our time visualizing it and it can even become obsessive. Moreover, the scale is not the most significant indicator of weight loss. It is best to refer to measurements taken with a tape measure.
We vary the sports disciplines
Cardio has good virtues when it comes to burning calories. However, this discipline essentially targets carbohydrates… After a good session, the cravings for pasta and rice are then felt more. To overcome these desires, it is better to alternate training between cardio and a few weight training sessions. This last discipline is slower than cardio to lose weight, but it will allow you to target fat and tone the silhouette.
Meals are split
To avoid the “little gustatory side effects” that ruin our attempts, it is better to stick to a dynamic of four meals a day instead of three. It will therefore be necessary to eat in fractions by dividing breakfast into two parts for example. To do this, it is therefore necessary to take part of breakfast early in the morning and the second around 10 a.m. Ditto for the midday meal, you can have lunch and keep the dessert and the dairy for the snack time, that is to say around 4 p.m. This will allow the body to get the right caloric intake by having the impression of eating more in order to avoid cravings.
We allow deviations
It may seem surprising, but the differences will help our body to revive the loss. Over time, the body gets used to our food and our efforts. The way we eat and our sports sessions therefore have less impact on our figure. It is therefore necessary to dare to have fun from time to time, just to restart the machine.
We find a bulwark once morest stress
Sometimes it can just be stress… And so our efforts no longer have any effect! Indeed, one of the effects of stress is that of slowing down weight loss. It will therefore be necessary to take the time to relax and for that, a good yoga session or a good massage will not be too much.
