A PLATEAU… What is it? An actual plateau is no weight loss for two or more weeks. What can you do about it? 1.     Drink at least 64 ounces of water each day. Eating every 2 to 3 hours will help deter hunger and keep your metabolism going. 2.     Are you taking any medications?  Consult with your personal physician to see if your meds are hindering your weight loss and/or need to be adjusted. 3.     Monitor what you eat.  Excessive amounts of grains, fruit and dairy can slow weight loss.  Write down what you are eating for the next week.  Are you on plan? 4.     In addition to watching the scale, don’t forget to monitor your measurements.  5.     Are you exercising?  If so, changing your exercise program can jump start your metabolism.

EAT FRUITS AND VEGGIES THAT INCLUDE AT LEAST 3 COLORS OF THE RAINBOW! Think red, yellow, blue, green, purple and orange.  Have them in a salad, a fruit-based dessert, a soup or stir fry.  They will give you energy, needed nutrients and will fill you up so you won’t over eat.  The USDA Food Guide Pyramid recommends eating 5 to 9 servings a day.

MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR BEAUTY REST Studies have shown that getting enough sleep, at least 7 hours per night, decreases your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and weight gain. When you don’t get enough sleep it cause ghrelin levels to raise (a hormone that increases your appetite) and leptin levels to drop (which mean you don’t feel as satisfied after you eat).  Studies at England’s Warwick School of Medicine found that getting less sleep almost doubled the risk of obesity.  So get your beauty sleep and improve your health, too!
