Don't give up, Pretty!
4 reasons why you absolutely have to stick with it if your weight is stagnating
The number on the scales just won't budge for days and you're about to give up? Hold on, don't throw in the towel just yet, Pretty! There can be various reasons why your weight is stagnating. You can read here why it's super important not to give up right now.
1. do not rely on the scales alone
Contrary to what you might think, it's not the scales that are your best friend when losing weight, but the measuring tape. For example, if you have your period or are stressed, this often causes water retention, which can show up on the scales and hide your successes from you. If you use a measuring tape, you will be able to track your successes better.
2. cross your heart, Pretty
Sure, the OFFSET pan is a bit of a change. Have you fully committed to it? Or are you trying to reach your goal with extreme sports sessions and skipping a meal? The OFFSET plan deliberately doesn't include exercise, because it takes away the energy your body needs for the OFFSET plan. You should also always eat all your meals. Your body needs all the important nutrients to get rid of the remaining kilos and avoid the yo-yo effect after the OFFSET plan. The OFFSET plan is designed by our nutrition experts for an optimal dietary change - too much deviation in either direction can change the direction of travel, so that your body responds by stopping losing weight.
3. but no calorie deficit?
You may be overestimating the amount of calories you are allowed to consume. Sure, you can nibble on cucumbers and carrots or drink a vegetable broth, but be careful with sugary or high-calorie snacks: lots of small snacks make lots of small calories. So always be aware of what you sin with and when you sin. This can then also explain the movements on the scales.
4. set yourself realistic goals
And don't forget: Have you set yourself realistic goals? The extra kilos didn't come overnight. Weight fluctuations and plateaus, where your weight barely moves, are completely normal and are part of losing weight up to a certain point. Your body and your metabolism have to adjust and get used to your change in diet, just like you.
Stick with it Pretty - it's worth it!
