Whatever exercises you are doing right now, change them, eg: stationary lunges change to walking lunges, lift heavier weights, change the # of reps and sets to shock your body.
Also, make sure you're getting enough good fats, so many people think fats are the enemy, you need good fats and they can help you to bust over that plateau.
If you are eating the same old same old, change that too.
Try interval training, get your heart rate up, let it go back down, if you run, instead of running on a flat surface, run on an incline, just change things up and you should get past the plateau and most definitely watch the food you are putting in your mouth
Wear 3 to 4 layers of clothing while you do insanity...
Sorry, this advice is just pure insanity (no pun intended). Wearing heavy clothes when you work out is beyond stupid. Any "weight" you will lose from this will be water weight only. This advice would have been antiquated 40 years ago, never mind now.
Any advice to lose the last 10 pounds?
So on March 1st, at 190.7, I began a plan to lose the "last 10" in 6 weeks. Well April 15th, my goal date, is coming around and I'm at 186. Can anyone spare me some tips on how to lose those last 10 pounds? I already do cardio 6 times per week, I lift 3x per week and I eat a healthy 2000 calories. Not sure what else to do. My judgment of how much weight I have left to lose is based on how I look, and basically I feel I have about 10 pounds to lose. While I get that muscle mass causes weight gain and you shouldn't put too much into weight, I'm still feeling that 180 mark. Any advice for those plateauing?
Hey, do you cycle your carbohydrate intake at all?
By the way, here is what I ate today, and this is generally my caloric intake for the day. Let me know your thoughts:
7:00ish Breakfast: Whey protein shake, special K, skim milk
8:00-11:00 Snacks: Nutragrain bar, greek yogurt, apple, green tea (spread out in a 4 hour time period)
Noonish Lunch: Sandwich on wheat with light mayo, lettuce, turkey, low sodium cheese.
Then I work out (cardio) for my lunch break between 1-2:30 or so.
Post work out snack: cottage cheese and a vegetable, usually carrots, sugar snap peas, etc.
"About to leave work" snack: Nuts and a banana
Dinner: Salmon cooked in olive oil, a medium baked potato with light sour cream and low-fat cheddar cheese. Romaine lettuce salad and a serving of bleu cheese dressing (sorry, no way that I'm giving up bleu cheese), and a modelo beer.
After I get back from the gym, I'll have a protein shake.
So keeping in mind that I do an hour of 75% maximum heart rate cardio per day, and usually lift 5 times per weak at moderate intensity. Am I eating too much?
too much dairy. switch to soy milk. add more color to your diet. eat some nuts. Advice from a non-professional, but I did lose 60 pounds in a 12-15 month period. I lived in Asia for two years--not too many fat people there. You ate about 12 things in one day, that most of them never eat. Good luck with your diet.
That is close to the way I "used" to eat. I would cut out most of the special K, nutragrain bar, baked potato, mayo, sour cream, blue cheese only a couple times a week maybe, etc. Most of those are processed or foods with low nutritional density. Instead now I eat natural oats, eggs, nuts, sweet potato and use herbs/seasonings instead of sour cream, mayo, cheese etc and a vinagraitte or olive oil on my salads. I also drink soy milk but you can drink milk or just mix your whey with water, which is what we typically do. I would substitute either your greek yogurt or cottage cheese with eggs and maybe add eggs in the morning instead of cereal with oats. Also I would make a big salad with protein instead of the bread and turkey//mayo, I assume you don't use ezekiel bread and use processed low nutritional bread and whatever type of turkey.
