Weight Loss Slowed Down

1. Spark your workout with HIIT. Any form of exercise will get your fat burning started but to keep exercise working for you it is important to vary your intensity during your workout session. What research has proven to be a highly effective way to boost your exercising effects is to use HIIT. This stands for high intensity interval training and anyone can do it because it is based on YOUR perceived exertion level.

Start with a 3 minute warm-up at an exertion level of 5 then for minutes 4, 5 and 6 increase your exertion in equal increments. This will leave you working at your peak exertion level for one minute and then for minute 7 back down to a level of 5 again. Repeat this ups and down cycle for 20 minutes and you have a complete fat burning workout.

2. Spark your diet with a high calorie meal. This sounds crazy but let me assure you, this concept is highly researched and proven effective in real life cases.

When you eat a low calorie diet for too long your body worries that you are facing starvation and puts the brakes on your metabolism to protect your energy reserves - in other words FAT.

So you need to convince your body that there is no starvation so it can release your metabolism and you do this by feeding your body a high calorie meal that includes any of your favorite foods. You will retain a bit of water from doing this but the resulting boost in your metabolism more than makes up for it and you will find it very easy to lose weight for the entire rest of the week.

If your weight loss slowed down unexpectedly don't lose hope, these tips will speed things back up for you and get you to your goal.
