The Final Pounds: Don’t Let Your Ideal Weight Slip When You Are In The Last Mile.

December 12th, 2008 · No Comments · Fat Loss

When you decide to lose belly fat, the first few pounds is often very easy. That’s good because it’s a great motivator when you see results right away. But as you lose more, the rate of loss, and the speed with which you see visible effects, slows down. It’s hard to keep going when you aren’t seeing the benefits.

Don’t give up, though. Remember that at a certain level, you will find that initial burst of effort is only getting you about eighty percent of the way there. The other twenty percent are a great deal more difficult, and when you are looking to get that final twenty percent out there and keep the results you get, there are some important things to keep in mind.

Remember that getting rid of those final ten or twenty pounds can be a matter of will and determination. Remember that good enough never is, and that if you are looking into settling, you may be letting yourself into a downward spiral.

But beware of long term effects when you are trying to lose the belly fat

When you are looking at sticking with a weight loss goal, consider the fact that it can spread to other goals. For many people, giving up before a job is over can be extremely problematic and that a success or failure here is can have a domino effect on the rest of your life.

Also keep in mind that the idea of giving up is something that can bring about problems when it comes to keeping the weight off. If you never get to your original goal, are you going to be happy? When you are constantly working and striving, you will find that keeping your weight down and winning that particular battle can be a difficult one.

When you are thinking about getting that last twenty percent of your goal met, there may very well be physiological reasons for the slowdown as well. Perhaps your body gravitates towards a particular weight. There is no way to tell what happens unless you are willing to keep trying, however.

You may have slacked off of the length of exercises, or it may just require a longer period to get the same results. By analogy, it’s easy to scoop peanut butter out of a full jar, but getting those last bits is harder and takes longer.

If you’ve been doing cardio 30 minutes a day, three days a week, you may need to extend it to four or five days. That’s usually preferable to extending the length of the workout. You can begin to get close to the injury zone if you work yourself too hard during a given workout. But, you can up it to 45 minutes with minimal risk, if you judge that you still have that much more to give.

When you are thinking of upping the intensity of your workout, try some interval training. Don’t overdo it; if you are not used to it, this can be quite strenuous. Don’t risk your health and remember that an injury can set you back further than any plateau.

Over time, your body and your muscles will adapt to the same old exercises, so shake it up. Put in some new ones or ones that are more complex.

Keep at it until you hit your final desired goal, then keep it steady. Long term results require a permanent lifestyle change.
