A natural weight loss healthy diet program |
Whenever someone embarks upon a serious weight loss campaign, it follows a very predictable path, in most cases. He (or she) is very dedicated to keeping their food diary in a very conscientious way. They do their best to account for all foods consumed, and with reasonable accuracy as to amounts. They are careful to see that their daily average calories from fat does not exceed 25 % of the total calories. They weigh and record their weight daily at about the same time of day, with the same state of dress or undress. They are delighted to see their weight steadily going down.
Then, a strange thing happens! In spite of having remained faithful and dedicated to their program, they notice that for several days, it seems their weight remains fairly constant, or even worse, it goes up one or two pounds. What's going on? Well, they have reached what we call a plateau. What is a plateau, and why does it occur?
There is no cause for alarm here. What is happening is simply that the body is reorganizing the weight that you have left on your frame. You can easily verify this by measuring various parts of your body (e.g. hips, waist, abdomen, etc.) now and comparing those measurements to what they were before you started this natural weight loss healthy diet program. If you didn't measure yourself before, you will certainly still be able to tell by the fit of your clothing. What used to be tight is now less so. What used to fit perfectly is now a little looser.
After several days, which will vary from person to person, your weight will continue to drop for awhile - until the next plateau. But next time, you'll recognize it for what it really is - just a brief period of adjustment along the way to a new, slimmer, healthier you!
