Today's Weight-Loss Tip
4 tips for managing a plateau
Weight-loss plateaus are normal. Try these coping tips: 1. Review your food and activity records to make sure you aren't eating larger portions or getting less exercise. 2. Reduce your daily calorie intake by 200 calories, unless this puts you in a range that's too low for good health. 3. Gradually increase your daily exercise time by 15 to 30 minutes. If possible, also increase the intensity. 4. Focus on three- to four-week trends in weight loss instead of daily changes.
