Plateaus in weight-loss are expected!!
Let me drop a few extra suggestions
your way to help you stay on the path!
1. Exercise
You should already be exercising, but now adding
extra programs. Adding weight bearing exercises will help strengthen
bones, build lean muscle, and help burn that extra fat. Keep in mind that
when you build muscle AND lose fat, there may be an equal balancing out on the
scales. So shoot your scale and trust your body.
2. Gonna eat bad, eh okay - just make better bad choices!
I'll admit it, I love fast food! LOVE IT! Do
not beat yourself up or lay thick the guilt if you decide to indulge.
Make better choices such as, just a single patty burger rather than the
double-double. Get the sandwiches made with no mayo. In & Out
has a secret burger one needs to ask for called the "Protein Style"
where there is no bun, but the burger is wrapped in lettuce instead.
Small changes here can really help in the long run.
3. Snack Right
Snacking
right is like eating fast food you have to make the right choices.
Avoiding high-calorie, nutrient empty foods is the attack plan here.
Our office's nutritional program has several snack options: such as Snacks and
their decedent IsaDelight Chocolates, Yum!
4. Avoid Sugary Drinks
Remember the nutrient empty foods I spoke
about early? Well, these drinks fall right into that category.
Fruit juices or purified water are far better drinks to start with.
Sport drinks such as Powerade or Gatorade are okay, but really meant more
for when you are working out rather than just a thirst quencher.
5. Our friend, fiber
Other than keeping you regular, which is a good thing, fiber will help keep you satisfied longer! The National Fiber Council recommendation is roughly about 25-30 grams daily. These Slim Cakes are not only have 5 grams of fiber but a healthy dose of deliciousness.

6. Nancy Regan
says, "Just say NO to bad Fats" (well not really, but she should
have!)
There is a whole separate blog coming
about this one topic, so I'll just make some big pointers. Bad fats are
those who say, "saturated," or "trans" in the name.
More and more studies are coming out which are showing that an increase
of dietary omega-3 fatty fish oils are not only great for your heart but also
for lowering and sustaining body weight. Look for high-quality, high-potency fish oils supplements and start to
see the myriad benefits one can get!
So keep at it true believers! Stay on the path and and enjoy your new life!
Stay healthy my friends!
