| How do I know if I've reached a plateau? What can I do to jump start my weight loss again? |

| If you’ve been exercising and cutting calories for several weeks, and you’re no longer seeing the same results that you experienced in the beginning, then you’ve probably hit a plateau. This occurs when your progress comes to a standstill, and can be described as not making any "gains" (such as improving your fitness level or losing weight), but not necessarily moving backwards (losing endurance or gaining weight). Because every individual is unique, there’s no way to actually predict when a plateau might happen. However, the principles of nutrition, rest, and variation will jumpstart your body, mind, and metabolism. There are 3 articles in the Resource Center that explore these concepts in further detail: Plateau Busters- Part 1 focuses on eating the right nutrients at the right times. Plateau Busters- Part 2 focuses on the importance of rest in your exercise program. Plateau Busters- Part 3 discusses how to add variety to your workouts. |
