Plateaus and How You Can Overcome Them

Whether it be your health journey or a goal, you’re going to hit a plateau. Plateaus can last for days, weeks, months, and even years. Everyone hits a plateau in life and when I mean everyone i mean EVERYONE! The best thing you can do is acknowledge that you have hit a plateau and add small changes in your system that will yield big results. The small change(s) will rely on research and help from others that have gone through the same plateau(s) that you are going through. For me at least, I'm going through a weight plateau. What I'm doing to tweak this is doing small changes like taking 5 min cold showers, taking in more water for my liver, and adding electrolyte supplements to support my body with the diet I'm on. I'm not making really big changes, just small tweaks in my system that will yield big results. The worst thing you can do in a plateau is do nothing and wait for the perfect time or opportunity, and if you are thinking this right now and you are going through a plateau hit yourself in the face with a raw steak and then proceed to cooking it. There is not going to be a perfect opportunity or time, you have to take charge and get your system optimize so you can reach your goal without stressing yourself over all the fine details.

Needed this today - in a plateau and trying to dig myself out.....

I wrote about this because I was going through a pretty bad plateau. I would stick to my systems and habits that have helped me lose the first couple of pounds pretty quickly, but the last two weeks, my weight loss has been fluctuating a lot and I would lose a couple and gain more. I felt really mad at myself for the moment. But it's a good idea to step back from the scale and reassess your system and habits. Make small little tweaks like taking in more protein, drinking more water, or if your working out too much, to scale it back and workout only 3 times a week doing kettle bell swings. You don't have to take any of this advice of course, do your research and if you have questions ask someone of credibility to tell you how to get over plateaus. Good luck and have fun with your health journey because we'll see each other at the finish line.
