The human body is an amazing thing. It has the ability to adapt very quickly to changes,
in order to maintain homeostasis. This is quite commonly seen when trying to lose weight.
Many people hit that dreaded plateau, which fortunately, can be avoided if continually
shocking the body.
I preferred to shock my body in two different ways. Firstly, by my diet, and secondly, by
my workouts. This was one of the number was contributors to my rapid weight loss over the
course of 6 months. Here's a few tips to keep your body "shocked" so that you can keep it
guessing and shedding weight.
Shock
1. If you've changed your choice of foods to a healthier option and tend to eat a lot of the
same foods day after day, at least once a week I'd suggest eating something different. This
can be a healthy or a non-healthy alternative. I for instance always had a great big cheeseburger
and French fries from my favorite fast food establishment every Sunday.
What this does is make sure my body doesn't get too used to the same types of food,
essentially "shocking" it to lose more weight once I start eating healthy again the next day.
Don't take this one overboard though, your only wanting to shock it a little bit, one meal a week
is generally enough.
2. Whenever I have a long grueling workout, I always try to think of ways I can switch it up a little bit so that my body doesn't get too used to the same workouts, which can also induce a plateau. Most days I'll choose to jog for a couple miles, while other days I'll decide to hop on my local track and do sprints. Both leave me exhausted, but work out your muscles differently. In the weight room I mainly did heavy weight lifting to gain strength, but a couple times a week I would decrease the weight, and increase the intensity, giving me muscle blasting workouts.
Remember that shocking your body is a good thing and keeps the weight coming off as rapidly as possible!
