We're through three weeks of RFC and everyone has done a fabulous job. We're getting into that period (some may be there) where the results may not show on the scale, and that can lead to you questioning yourself.
Why am I putting in all the hard work and not seeing the results?
In fact, you are seeing the results, you have just hit a plateau. Plateaus happen to everyone - from those starting out to elite athletes, and each and every one of us in between. Plateaus are your body's way of protecting you - making sure your system is adjusting systematically and properly to the changes you are making.
The key to getting through a plateau is to keep at it - stay positive, follow your eating plan and make sure to exercise.
One way to jumpstart your body is to change up your exercise routine - it's a way of tricking your body and keeping it from getting complacent. You may alternate days of cardio (walking / running / eliptical) and weight or strength training; or if you go on a walk or run - do one day of a longer distance but a moderate pace, and then the next go a bit of a shorter distance but pick up the pace.
In any event - keep up the great work, and let us know if you have questions.
