5 Ways To Bust A Weight-Loss Plateau
One thing to keep in mind is that a given volume of muscle weighs more than the same volume of fat. Initially, muscle gain may make that weight plateau seem even more stubborn. But if you're losing inches then it's working, and within a few weeks that scale should be moving again.
2. Increase your overall activity level.
Every time you take the stairs instead of the elevator or park farther away from the door, you are burning extra calories.
So work up a sweat while doing chores. Turn on the radio and dance while cleaning. Take a walk after dinner instead of watching TV.
At work, make sure to move periodically, especially if you have a desk job. Walk around while on the phone, or better yet, walk to talk a colleague's office instead of calling.
Whatever you do, just move!
