13 ways to break out of a weight loss plateau & Lose weight faster

1. Exercise with more intensity or exercise harder

For example - If you can't lose weight walking at 3 mph then try walking faster at 3.5 mph or try walking up a hill to increase intensity and even though you may have lost weight in the beginning doing simple weight loss activities like walking...

You may HAVE TOO exercise with more intensity to lose weight by switching over to more advanced weight loss activities like Intervals or other weight loss workouts to lose your last 10, 20, or maybe even 30 pounds and...

If you don't want to Exercise with more intensity to break out of your weight loss plateau - You can...

2. Do a different exercise at least every 3 weeks...

If you've been doing the same exercise everyday - then over time... YOU & YOUR body will get used to the same exercise you're doing and you'll burn less calories making you lose less weight so...

You need to trick your body into losing weight again by doing a different weight loss exercise or a new weight loss workout at least every 3 weeks (or every week or even everyday) and here's a real world example of how this works...

I knew a lady who lost 25 lbs. walking on a treadmill everyday but after about 2 months she stopped losing weight so I told her to start doing something different like the Elliptical machine and she lost 7 pounds in her first 2 weeks after switching over to the Elliptical machine and...

You may lose weight even faster if you do a different weight loss exercise each time you workout (instead of waiting at least 3 weeks) and if you don't want to do a different exercise to break out of your weight loss plateau - You can...

3. Do your exercises longer

Basically - If you're not losing weight anymore by walking for 30 minutes... Then you need to start walking for 45 minutes and...

Once you get to a point where you're not losing weight doing the same exercise for 60-to-90 minutes - You'll then need to Exercise harder and/or Do a Different exercise (See #1 & #2 above) and...

If you don't want to exercise longer to break out of your weight loss plateau - You can...

4. Do your exercises more often

Basically - If you're walking 2 times a week and not losing weight... Then you need to start walking 3-to-5 times a week or walk everyday and another way you can break out of your weight loss plateau is to...

5. Workout twice a day

If you have time... You can workout twice a day to increase your metabolism by working out in the morning on an empty stomach to burn more fat and then working out again in the evening and...

You don't have to workout in the morning & the evening only - You can workout at lunch and after dinner or.... Look at fast weight loss tip #1 and See How to lose weight at home and just so you'll know...

Many Celebrities, Athletes, Bodybuilders, & Models workout twice a day to help them lose their last few pounds of fat to make them look their very best.

6. Do any combination of Numbers 1-thru-5 above

7. Make sure you're eating right to lose weight

Look at the first part of What to do if you can't lose weight to see the exact steps you need to take to start eating right and if you're already eating right - then...

8. You need to eat less

If you lost 10 pounds eating 1800 calories a day then you may need to eat 1700 calories or lower to break out of your weight loss plateau and lose weight faster because...

Your body needs less & less calories to maintain your NEW weight after losing weight so that means... You'll need to eat less (even less than what you ate to lose weight at first) to keep losing weight and...

This is why the 50 pound weight loss plan here has you eating less calories every time you lose 10 pounds but...

You don't want to go extremely low and eat below 1000-to-1200 calories (see #9 & See why VLCD don't always work) and...

If you are at a point where you really can't eat less - Rely on numbers 1-thur-5, #11 & #13 to break out of your weight loss plateau.

9. Get off your Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD):

If you've been on a VLCD or been eating less than 1200 calories per day for a long time - Your metabolism will slow down and go into 'survival or starvation mode' to help you survive on the low amount of calories you're eating and this causes you to stop losing weight so...

To break out of your weight loss plateau after having your metabolism slowed down by a VLCD - You need to eat more & follow these 4 steps to speed your metabolism back up again so you can keep losing weight...

Step #1:
Type in your weight here: and then...
Step #2:
You want to slowly add 50-to-100 calories extra to your VLCD each day until you get up to total calories per day and then...
Step #3:
You want to eat FIVE -to-  calorie meals every 3 hours (which is -to- calories per day) to keep tricking your body's metabolism to prevent it from slowing down and going into 'survival or starvation mode' and finally...
Step #4:
Make sure you continue to do weight loss exercises to also increase your metabolism and to also prevent any drastic weight gains as you're eating more to get out of  'survival or starvation mode'

10. Eat 5 smaller meals instead of 3 bigger meals

When you eat 5 smaller meals plus eat more proteins, fruits and vegetables in those small meals - You'll burn way more calories compared to when you were eating 3 big meals because...

11. Increase the amount of proteins & raw vegetables you eat

Keep eating the right amount of calories to lose weight but make sure at least 30-to-50% of your total calories come from protein and raw vegetables to speed up weight loss and The reason why this works is because...

Your body burns the most calories when digesting high protein foods like lean meats, nuts, see more... and high fiber foods like vegetables making your metabolism burn fat faster (see fast weight tips #4, #6 & #7)

12. You may be gaining muscle while losing fat

If you're starting to look better, look slimmer or if your clothes fit better even though you're weight loss scale says you haven't lost any weight then the GOOD NEWS is...

You're losing ugly body fat while gaining or maintaining the sexy muscles you have and this is a good thing because...

You shouldn't worry about NOT losing 10 pounds when you look 10 pounds slimmer because of the fat you burned and the muscle you've gained.

13. Be patient

Go here to See how fast you can really lose weight but remember this...

The closer you are to your weight loss goal - The longer it's going to take to lose your last 10, 20, or even 30 pounds and...

The further away you are to your weight loss goal and/or the more overweight you are - the faster you can expect to lose weight at the start of any weight loss program but whenever you hit a weight loss plateau...

Do one of the first 11 things or a combination of the first 11 things on this page to break out of your weight loss plateau and wait at least 2-to-3 weeks to see if the first 9 tips on this page helped.

Hey. Im 17 years old and weigh about 178 pounds. Im always tired of looking at myself like this and want to lose weight immediatly. I get depressed when none of my jeans dont fit and have to worry about picking out an outfit that wont expose all my fat. Most of my weight is on my thighs, hips, and stomach. Im not sure exactly where to begin and how to lose everything quick. Please help me!

Pry | 04.17.09 - 8:27 pm

Andrew,

You're doing nothing wrong - it just takes longer to lose those last 10+ pounds - go here to see why

Adrian Bryant | 04.12.09 - 9:37 am

Hi Adrian, I just came across your videos on YouTube which then led me to this site.

I'm 17 years old and 6'1". In October of 2008, I was weighing in at 254.9 pounds and I now weigh 185.1 (-69.8 pounds). I lost this through extreme cardio and physical workouts from wrestling. However, since my season ended in February, I've only lost 8 of those 69.8 pounds (roughly 1 pound a week for the last 8 weeks).

I've read your article on weight loss plateau and it appears I'm doing everything on your list. I went from wrestling practice to mixed martial arts practice to increase the intensity. The MMA practice is a bunch of different exercises a week so I'm never doing the same thing. I've increased the length and number of times I work out but I can't seem to drop the weight as fast as I want. I also went from a 2000 calorie, high-protein diet to a 1850 calorie, even higher protein diet. The only thing I drink is water and diet green tea.

I want to be at 170.0 by June 4th, 2009. With as much weight as I've lost, is this a realistic goal to get the stubborn stomach fat to go away and finally get the abs that are hiding behind it to show?

ADRIAN BRYANT | 04.02.09 - 8:17 am

I am about 12 kilos overweight and have put it on over the last 4 years. I have only eaten about 1000 calories a day during that time. My personal trainer tells me i have to increase my calories gradually each day, by eating 3 meals and 2 snacks and get my calories from the right type of foods? is this right?

I am 5'0 feet tall and weigh 140 trying to get to 115-120.

suggestions?

I went to the gym today and tried to change up my work out by working at a very high intensity for 10 mintues on the treadmill, then the ellpitical, the bike and then the stair master. I hope something starts to work!

Amreen | 03.01.09 - 11:07 pm

Amreen,

What exactly is your weight & height?

Your calorie deficiets are fine but we need to check to be sure if you're eating the right amount for your weigh and height for it to be less enough to cause weight loss

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.01.09 - 4:12 pm

I recently started working out to drop some extra weight. I started working with a trainer 3 times a week ( 25 mins 2 days, 1 day for an hour)for about a month and a half and along with that I worked out on my own for 6 days a week doing a combination of running, walking, the stairmaster, etc. for about 30-45 mintues each day. I was on a defciet of 500-1000 calories per day mostly between the range of 500-700 with the exception of 2 or 2 or 3 days out of the week when it was closer to 800-1000. I have lost only 8lbs and now I am stuck. My question is do you think that my deficets are to high (do I need to be eating more calories) or do you think its a combination of that plus changing up my workout routine? When I work out with my trainer we do different things all the time and when i work out on my own i usually hop on the treadmill and do intervals of very fast running, slowing down to walking, fast walking then running again until i get tired and i continue this for about 30-45mins, some days thats all I will do and some days I do the stair master or the elliptcal after. Please let me know what you think might be preventing me from losing more wieght. I have not seen the scale move for about 2 weeks. Also, I am about 20-25lbs from my goal weight which is also the normal weight for my height and weight. Thank you and by the way you website is awesome!

PIRLANTAA,

Canada Dry is okay sometimes but you really should try to limit it.

It may contain low or NO calorie sweetners that make you crave for high calorie sweets

Adrian Bryant | 02.22.09 - 12:44 pm

is Canada Dry okay?
The acidic watery one.
no sugar nothing in it
its like...pierrior

Have you tried 1-thru-5 here yet?

Adrian Bryant | 02.18.09 - 8:26 pm

Help me please. I being running on elyptical for about 3 months. Now I'm running 1 hour, 6 miles x hour and between 600 to 700 caliories x hour. I was losing, but I have not lose even 1 pound since 3 weeks ago. My actual weight is 183. What should I do now?

Gaby | 02.18.09 - 9:55 am

PIRLANTAA,

RELAX - going 100 calories over is nothing to freak out over

Adrian Bryant | 02.10.09 - 7:56 pm

If i eat 100 EXTRA calories by mistake or purpose in a day..would that make me gain weight or..?

and I work out 3 times a week..and I loose about 500 CALS.

If i come home and consume 500 CALS back in my system..does that mean I worked for nothingg?

BOBBY |  02.08.09 - 1:26 pm
#44

PIRLANTAA,

As you lose weight - you'll only need to eat less calories to keep losing weight - Look at #7 again and NO...

Your body won't get used to the food you're eating but as you lose weight - YOu will have to eat a little less to sustain weight loss rate.

#43

No eating after 6
Nothing made from dough
Rarely any junk food (chips,choco)
12 cups Organic green tea atleast a week

This is ONLY my food intake routine.
If i contunie this diet and ONLY this diet..would my body get use to it eventually and not loose any weight?
Ive been doiing this diet for almost 5 months and have lost 20 LBS. Im worried my body will eventually get use to it soon....please reply!

PIRLANTAA | 02.07.09 - 2:22 pm

#42
PIRLANTAA,

After a while - YES

#41
If I danced half an hour to an hour 2-4 times a week..WOuld my body get use to it and not loose anything?

PIRLANTAA | 02.01.09 - 5:06 pm

Alyssa,

Make this change...

Do your 60-to-90 minute workouts only 2-to-3 times a week and...

Do 20-to-45 minute higher intensity intervals 3-to-4 times a week.

Think about like this Alyssa...

If you can do something for 60+ minutes - how intense can it be?

Do something or make what you're doing now so intense that after 20-to-45 minutes - you don't even want to think about working out again and...

I'm not saying to kill yourself working out - i'm just saying to be more honest with yourself and just work hard enough here 20-to-45 minutes will be all you need so...

Try some 20-to-45 minitue weight loss intervals and go here to see if you're working out hard enough to lose weight and another thing to do is...

Increase the amount of protein and veggies you eat within your 1000-to-1300 calories

#39

Hi Adrian,

I've been losing weight now for about 9 months. I started at 256 lbs and I am now down to 195. I work out 5-6 days a week doing 60-90 minutes of cardio and 2-3 days a week of resistance/strength training. I consume between 1000-1300 calories a day. For the past 3 weeks I have not been able to drop any weight; instead, I've been flucuating between 195-199 lbs. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. My cardio work-outs I switch up all the time. I'll do circuits and go between the stair-stepper, the elliptical, the bike, and running. All of my workouts are of a higher intensity. I'd love to drop another 20 lbs by the end of April. Any suggestions?

Sorry, I forgot to add my height. I'm 5'7"

Alyssa | 01.29.09 - 11:27 am

I'm 20, 135 lbs, and 5 foot 2. I'm trying to lose 15 lbs. I recently had a baby & have already lost most of the weight I gained (50 lbs) but I just can't seem to lose anymore. Actually I'm going back and forth between gaining a few lbs then losing them again. I eat 3 meals a day, I cut out sweets & soda, I run 2 miles a day on my treadmill & still feel disgustingly fat & definitely don't have my pre-baby hot bod back. What else can I do?

Lucy,

Actually - it is a good idea to NOT eat carbs later in the day or NOt eat many carbs for your last 2 meals by eating high protein foods and raw veggies to speed up weight loss but...

I do think that is unnecessary in your case and a weight loss strategy like is usually only needed when trying to lose your last 10-to-20 pounds.

Eating before or after workout isn't an issue when it comes to weight loss - How much you eat + how much you exercise is the main issue but...

If you need energy to finish workouts - eat 1-to-2 hours before working out and

YEs - STop drinking diet soda - See fast weight loss tip #29 to see why

#35
I was stuck at around 317 for the whole month of november, then i weighed before christmas and i was at 298. I was on week vacation at christmas eating sugar and fats now i'm 309 but hopefully thats alot of water weight. I've been working out really hard the last 2 months (i have a trainer 3 days/week and did a bootcamp) it just seems i should be losing more than 0-2 pounds/week at this weight. I was thinking of adding the raw veggies before each meal i saw on one of your diet recommendations. Also, what do you think of not eating any carbs in the evening - would it help? Also, is it better to eat before or after working out? I was thinking of eliminating diet coke as well - could be making me put out insulin and storing more cals as fat. Thanks for your help!

Lucy | 01.02.09 - 8:55 pm
#34

Lucy,

How long have you been in a plateau?

It should be easy for you to keep losing weight at 300 pounds.

You do know that your rate of weight loss will get slower and slower as you lose weight so no matter what you do...

Don't expect to lose your next 150 pounds in 12 months but rest assured...

You can still lose a LOT of weight at your weight this year but...

I would do #1-to-#5 here maybe the other things as well to speed up weight loss and...

For educational purposes - Look at why VLCD will or won't work for some people

#33
hi ive lost 150 lbs in the last 12 months and now weigh 300 lbs; but my weightloss has slowed and i feel like i am stuck here around 300 lbs. I work out 1-2 hours a day, cardio and weights. I eat 900 - 1200 calories per day. What can i do to start seeing the weight drop off again?

Lucy | 01.02.09 - 2:07 pm
#32

Anna,

weight loss mainly comes down to how much you eat or how many calories you eat vs. how many calories you burn so eating more or less carbs won't help much but...

Eating a higher % of protein (NOT TOO HIGH) but at least 30% protein will increase your metabolism because your body burns the most calories digesting protein and usually...

To lose the last the last 10 pounds you have to increase workout intensity, workout twice a day, and really watch what you eat and that's what this advanced weight loss plan is based on

#31

Thank you so much for ur response.
I also wanted to ask you that since i have previously been on a low carb diet, i normally eat very less carbs, so in order to loose the last 10 pounds is it necessary to increase my intake of carbs? how will that help?
thank you so much,
Anna.

anna | 12.08.08 - 1:54 pm

#30

anna,

at your height & weight you're only a little over 10 pounds overweight so you must also understand that since you don't have much weight to lose...

Your weight loss rate is going to be slower but in any case - you should have lost something after 2 months of hard work and from what you told me...

I think it may be a case of you eating TOO LESS so go back here and do #7 to recharge your metabolism but in most cases like yours...

Whenever someone claims to be eating low calories and working out hard enough and still no weight loss - that means you may be mis-calculating something so...

Are you sure you're counting your calories correctly? - Look at why you can't lose weight

Are you sure you are working out hard enough to lose weight? - See how hard you need to workout to lose weight and...

please stay in touch if you're still having trouble losing weight

I strive to lose 1-2 pounds a week but i don't . I'm suppose to drink at least 64 ounces of water a day and sometimes I don't get it all in could this be the problem for my slow weight loss? Any advice would help I'm 5'6" 208 pounds and would like to lose at least 30 pounds by the end of this year today is 9/09/ tocaradavis@yahoo.com

You workout first,then eat afterwards. Because if you eat first you will become bloated. Make sure IF you eat first, that you do so in a small portion. The best way to gain muscle is to take protein.

Yasmeen,

Since your lean - you can't focus too much on diet to help you lose weight - most of your weight loss from here on out will be from mainly how you exercise and as for calories - I would stick to eating a range of 1200-to-1600 calories a day to get your metabolism back up while eating only these weight loss foods and try this new workout plan to help break out of your weight loss plateau

yasmeen,

You're not losing weight fast enough becasue you're not overweight - i think you said you weigh between 112-121 pounds so it's going to be hard for you to lose weight because - you don't have too much weight to lose - Read why losing your last 10 pounds is hard and then...(I don't know if i showed you this already but...

Start on this plan here for losing your last 10 pounds

yasmeen,

Have you tried changing your exercise routine?

How much do you weigh - you may be eating too few calories to and/or your metabolism has adjusted to your low calorie intake.

Please give me more info so i can figure this out

I started at 175 and now I'm 161. I've been at 161 for a month now. I increased my exercise and started doing more intense exercise (step aerobics, kickboxing, weights). I was doing walking and weights previously. It's been about 2 weeks since I changed my exercise and I still haven't lost anything.

Jeanine, What was your starting weight and how much have you lost until your plateau? Adrian Bryant | 05.26.08 - 11:16 pm

If I eat 1200 calories and burn 300-500 in exercise, is that a problem? I've been eating 1600 calories and burning 200-500 calories and I reached a plateau a month ago.
