Bust Through Weight Loss Plateaus!
It happens to almost everyone: You get to Wave 2 and you stop losing weight. Don't be discouraged — this plateau is a common part of any diet plan, and it usually just means you need to shake up your routine a little. Try some of the following suggestions for a week or so to jump-start your weight loss:
- Limit most of your vegetable choices to Tier 1, retaining just enough Tier 2 and 3 vegetables to maintain variety. Tier 1 vegetables are more nutrient-dense, with fewer calories.
- Choose most of your fruits from Tier 1 or Tier 2, leaving Tier 3 fruits only for special occasions. Tier 1 or Tier 2 fruits have less natural sugar and fewer calories.
- Eat even more slowly. Take your time during meals, and be mindful of each and every bite — you'll be more likely to eat just until the point at which you feel satisfied. Find ways to slow down at all three meals, not just the one very leisurely meal of the day.
- Eat more chicken and fish for protein than red meat, beans, or eggs.
- Decrease your portions slightly. You shouldn't starve yourself, but there's also no rule saying you have to load your plate to the edges. Smaller portions will pay off over the long run.
Monday: Sautéed Broccoli, Roasted Peppers, and Goat Cheese
