6 Things that Will STOP weight loss in its tracks!

Lol, this poster is a bad, bad, bad advertisement for the crapshakes she's selling. Beachbody should be instructing its pimps to be a little more subtle in their copy.

But she's not *just* a Beachbody coach - she also claims to be a nurse and a certified personal trainer. I'm not up to the moment on the CPT certification process, but I'd hope that somebody who's earned that title would have a little more actual knowledge about training and nutrition rather than spouting the same misinformation and broscience you see spewed all over the internet.

Any idiot can become a pt. Standards are ridiculously lax, even here, a country some wankers like to call a nanny state. And there are way too many nurses who think that healing touch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healing_Touch is actually a valid course of treatment. That's what happens when you treat nurses as an afterthought and invest little in their training. So glad to see things changing.

You want to think that no one here is stupid enough to believe her rubbish and buy the crapshakes but... then you look at all the raspberry ketones and Mercola is god posts and think, yeah, she must be raking it in.

2. Rid your diet of gluten. Gluten is wheat, barley, and rye and found in many products. Essentially it destroys the villi in your intestines that absorb nutrients. When your body can't get the nutrients it needs, it goes it to starvation mode, and preserves its weight.

5. Hormone supplementation such as birth control pills.

1. Too much salt in your diet. Daily intake should be between 2 to 2.5 grams of salt. Sodium found in salt is an important electrolyte to our body functioning, but too much can cause of maintenance of water weight. When our bloodstream has too much salt in it then we need to drink fluids to dilute it to a normal balance. Likewise when you urinate the salt follows it. Hydrating well will help flush the high salt content out. Drinking too much water however in a short period of time can cause the opposite effect of too low sodium levels, also known as hyponatremia, which will cause dizziness, disorientation, and can lead to seizures. Our bodies sweat out salt as well. With marathon running, taking salt tabs every so often can help prevent this especially when drinking lots of water during the race.

3. Not consuming enough daily calories. Once again your body will go into starvation mode if you are not consuming enough calories. Sometimes you are consuming enough calories but the weight stays because it has got use to what you are eating. Consume 100-200 more calories for a few days to boost your metabolism, then go back to your regular caloric intake and see the pounds shed. Don't panic if you initially gain weight.


4. Eating foods with a high glycemic index. People usually don't gain weight by ingesting fat, but from consuming too much sugar. Our bodies actually learn to store sugar as fat faster if we have sugar addictions, instead of metabolizing it. So stop with the starchy foods, alcohol, pastas, breads, and the obvious cookies and cake. If you must have pasta dishes try to substitute with quinoa spaghetti noodles. Wean your body so that you aren't so sensitive to sugar.





5. Hormone supplementation such as birth control pills.




6. Not drinking enough water. Think of water as the oil for your car, your body. If your body becomes dehydrated it can't function properly slowing fat burning. Dehydration begins way before the first thirst impulse. Water is needed to flush out the toxins, increases oxygen to your muscles needed for aerobic metabolism which is the ultimate burner of calories. A good rule of thumb is to drink half your body weight in ounces. 120lbs=60 ounces= 7.5 glasses of water/day.





If you have any other experiences that cause plateaus please add it in the comment section and please add me as your buddy!!!!

If I don't take my birth control I will most certainly gain weight! LOL.

I ate pizza, a cupcake, hot coco, ice cream today twix bar yesterday with Reese's peanut butter cups and oh a little Debbie snack cake and pancakes with syrup and taco bell. So I guess I should be fat ehh? Hehe. Maybe you should look up the dude who lost massive weight on the Twinkie diet. It's calories in and calories out baby. And lots of water if you like salt and I love it.

A lot of these suggestions that were made are very very TRUE.
