How to deal with plateaus during the weight loss process

Dealing with plateaus during the weight loss process can be frustrating, but it's a common part of the journey. Here are some tips to help you overcome weight loss plateaus:

1. Reevaluate Your Goals: Take a step back and review your weight loss goals. Are they realistic and sustainable? Adjust them if needed to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

2. Track Your Food Intake: Keep a detailed food diary to ensure you're not unknowingly consuming more calories than you think. Use apps or traditional pen-and-paper methods to monitor your meals.
As Wellness Coaches we at Ornir Wellness work closely with our customers to help with the food diary, and to analyze the Food Intake.

3. Portion Control: Double-check your portion sizes. Even healthy foods can lead to weight gain if you're eating too much. Use measuring cups or a food scale if necessary.

4. Change Your Exercise Routine: If you've been doing the same workout routine for a while, your body may have adapted. Mix things up by trying new exercises, increasing the intensity, or varying the duration.

5. Strength Training: Incorporate strength training into your fitness routine. Muscle burns more calories at rest than fat, so building muscle can help boost your metabolism.

6. Increase Protein: Protein can help you feel fuller for longer and may boost your metabolism. Include lean protein sources in your diet, such as chicken, fish, tofu, and beans.
Order Protein Drink Mix to add it to your daily meals.
Order Protein Bars with 10-21 grams of Protein each.

7. Mindful Eating: Pay attention to hunger and fullness cues. Avoid eating out of boredom or stress, and focus on mindful eating to prevent overeating.

8. Stay Hydrated: Sometimes thirst can be confused with hunger. Drink enough water throughout the day to stay hydrated and control appetite.

9. Get Enough Sleep: Poor sleep can disrupt your body's hunger hormones and lead to overeating. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night.
Use "Night Mode" for better sleep. Herbalife Night Mode. A night-time drink infused with a unique saffron extract, scientifically shown to improve sleep quality in just 7 days.

10. Manage Stress: High stress levels can lead to emotional eating. Find healthy ways to manage stress, such as meditation, deep breathing, or yoga.

11. Consider a Plateau breaking day once a week or twice a month.
Plateau breaking day consists of 3 Protein Shakes during the day, vegetables and fruits.

12. Consult a Professional: If you've hit a stubborn plateau, consider consulting a registered dietitian or personal trainer. They can provide personalized guidance and help identify any underlying issues.

13. Be Patient and Persistent: Weight loss is not always linear. Plateaus are a normal part of the process. Stay patient and persistent in your efforts.

14. Avoid Extreme Diets: Extreme diets or drastic calorie restrictions can slow down your metabolism and lead to muscle loss. Focus on making sustainable, balanced changes to your diet.

15. Consistency is Key: Stick to your healthy habits even during plateaus. It's easy to get discouraged and give in to old habits, but consistency is crucial for long-term success.

16. Celebrate Non-Scale Victories: Remember that the scale is not the only measure of success. Celebrate other achievements like improved energy, better sleep, or fitting into smaller clothing sizes.

Plateaus can be challenging, but with determination and adjustments to your approach, you can push through them and continue making progress on your weight loss journey.
