- Be a calorie detective: Be honest with yourself, in order to lose weight you must burn more calories than you consume.
- Change it up: It is possible that your body has gotten comfortable with your routine, you may need to change your exercise plan and change your diet plan.
- Try a temporary ban: Food sensitivities can cause weight gain and bloat. Wheat, dairy and sugar are at the top of the list of the usual suspects. Try to ban all three for a few days and see what happens.
- Take your workout up a notch: This is the one that usually works for me. Train like a sprinter, kick the treadmill up a little faster and see what happens.
- Strength training: Don't be afraid of heavier weights, they should be heavy enough that you can only do between 8 and 12 reps.
- Up you protein: Higher protein diets make it easier to lose weight.
- Try a detox: Try a smart fast of nothing but fruits and vegetables for a couple of days.
- Take inventory: Stress, medication and lack of sleep can stall your weight loss.
