Every dieter knows that he needs
to follow the right diet guidelines for the long haul—if he ever desires to
lose the weight and keep it off for good. True to form, this is hard. And requires
lots of energy and suffering through lots of plateaus and setbacks.
Fortunately, you can do something
about it by just doing the following:
Banish
the booze
Yes you know it. Excess beer drinking
can take its toll on your bank account, but it can also wreak havoc on your
fitness level. According to Swedish study published in the journal Obesity, drinking
alcohol boosts cortisol levels –the hormone responsible for weight gain and
other health troubles—and decreases blood testosterone in men.
Not only that, researchers
at the University of Helsinki found that
binging on alcohol hinders the post-workout recovery process and muscle growth,
thus compromising your fitness efforts.
Keep a food diary
Clarity is power. And with power
comes awesome results. The best way to get clear on your eating habits is via a
food journal. The latter can help you keep track of your daily calorie intake,
while at the same time, shed light on the most hidden parts of your eating
knee-jerk reactions.
Therefore, if you’re suffering from weight loss plateaus,
look no more; go ahead and grab a journal and start keeping track, then introduce
the right changes.
