Plateau With This Easy Trick

2. The Problem
• Losing body fat becomes next to
impossible no matter how hard you diet or
exercise.
• It's extremely discouraging and can cause
you to throw in the towel altogether.
• But… there's a simple reason why it
happens and an even simpler solution.

3. What Causes It?
• In a nutshell, it’s your body’s way of
keeping you alive.
• When you’re dieting, your body will fight
you to preserve energy (i.e. fat).
• Leptin is one of the principal hormones
involved in this process.

4. The Role of Leptin
• Leptin is secreted by your fat cells and
acts on the brain to control hunger.
• When your leptin levels are high, you're
not hungry.
• Conversely, when they're low, you seek
food to satisfy your cravings.

5. Leptin Levels & Diet
• When you start losing weight, your fat cells
shrink and secrete less leptin.
• This makes you hungry.
• This is also slows down your metabolism
(remember, your body is trying to preserve
energy).

6. The Common Mistake
• When the scale stops moving, dieters cut
back on food even more (and perhaps
exercise harder) in order to break the
plateau.
• This only makes things worse.
• Body will fight “tooth and nail” to maintain
energy balance.

7. What to Do Instead
• Raise the leptin levels.
• A 24-48 hour binge will do the trick.

8. What About Weight Gain?
• It’s almost inevitable but it won’t last.
• Once you get back on the diet following
your binge those extra pounds will quickly
fall off.
• Furthermore, you’ll blow past your plateau
and continue towards your goal weight.
