cause you to crave unhealthy foods<\/a>. The effects of stress hormones also seem to be stronger in women. According to an eight-week study with overweight women, those who took part in muscle relaxation and deep breathing lost more weight (9.7 lbs) than those who did not attempt to relieve stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFocus On Quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n In order to break through your weight loss plateau, you have to focus on more than your caloric intake. You have to focus on where you are obtaining your nutrients and your calories. Processed foods, refined sugars, and refined carbs need to go. Quality foods like vegetables, legumes, high-fiber fruits, lean proteins, and nuts & seeds need to take center stage in your diet. These foods contain essential nutrients and contain fewer calories than processed foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is possible to push past your weight loss plateau if you have a plan in place. In addition to the above tips, focus on getting sufficient sleep, avoiding alcohol, and flushing the body with healthy fluids.<\/p>\n
