How To Break Through A Fat Loss Plateau (DO THIS)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ต.ค. 2024
- If you feel like you are beginning to experience a fat loss/muscle building “plateau” in your training or nutrition goals, then you’ve come to the right place! In this video, Jordan discusses what it means to be in a “plateau” and how you can break from this point so that you can reach your goals.
Let’s face it, we all at some point leave the honeymoon phase of training where progress begins to slow down and we are left battling with our emotions and questioning whether what we are doing is even working… Jordan stresses the importance of understanding that although progress has begun to slow down, that doesn’t mean that it is time to quit! If you have been following Mind Pump for some time then you may understand that our bodies are adaptation machines and it doesn’t take very long for our bodies to begin to get better at utilizing the stressors/energy that we give it.
Here are some important points and quick tips mentioned in the video:
“Plateau” is different for all individuals
You are not going to lose weight every day
You are not going to get stronger after every workout
Don’t let your emotions keep you from staying consistent
Take the long-term approach with your health
Quitting WILL make you stop your progress
When it comes to reaching your health goals, as much as it would be nice to see fast progress, progression realistically goes more up and down. There is only so much planning ahead you can do and there are too many variables in our lives that we rarely can completely control. What we can control is how we react emotionally to our progress. Instead of looking at progress slowing down as a reason to quit, look at it as an opportunity to learn more about what is happening with your body. One thing we know for sure is that consistency will bring you much more progression over a long period of time vs deciding to quit stopping your progress entirely.

I saw this video over 3 months ago...everytime my weight stalled, I remembered his words to keep going and surely enough the next week pounds would come off and then I would stall for a while again....and I would push through....KEEP GOING
Thanks. I had my first stall this morning, after losing pounds every week for the last 6 weeks. It has pissed me off a bit, however, your note certainly helps.
@@merson812 you can do it. Be patient. You are worth it.
this is me now. i’ve been getting frustrated because february to the beginning of march i lost 10 pounds with no problem now im stuck it’s been almost 3 weeks now.
This video and the comments have definitely gave me encouragement to keep going! thanks
@@zahedah80did you just keep increasing the deficit by increased cardio or reduce calories? You just had to grind it out huh? I just hit my plateau and been the same weight for two weeks. I dropped the calories a bit. Is that the answer just grind it out and the weight will fall off eventually?
I so needed to hear this 💯🙌🏾
I lost 45 lbs and have hit a plateau for a few months. I have that much more to lose. I’m hitting the gym, eating clean but the scale stays the same. It’s so easy to get discouraged when you don’t get the results as quickly as you’d like but I’m gonna ride it out.
This. So much this. ❤️
any progress this month?
@@vectorm3832 anything?
@@rahuldoes what
@@vectorm3832, oops. Wrong reply. Wanted to ask Butterfly, "any progress".
not just a lesson for training and weight lose, also applies to the grind toward life goals
So true!
Yes! My EXACT thoughts 💭
I agree
This makes sense. Honestly I've been saying something similar to this in my head. Just keep repeating "Trust the process" and go with what ive been doing
This is where I'm at. This is what I needed to hear.
Me too
I lost 27 lbs in 11 weeks. The last 2 weeks I've been suck around 242 to 244 lbs.. today I weigh 240. The important thing is to definitely keep going. Thanks for the words of encouragement!
Holy Cow! Meet your brother! Been stuck in 240 - 243 lbs despite daily cardio, 15% calorie deficit, high protein intake to prevent lean muscle being used as fuel. Thank you for inspiring me to keep going. I'm down from 288lbs so I'm doing so well!
I lost 40 lbs super fast dieting and going to the gym 7 days a week. The last 2 weeks I've been stuck at 220 I started at 260 and I realize 40 lbs of fat loss is great but it's discouraging to stop seeing progress. I'm in an extreme deficit every day, I go to the gym and bust ass and get on the scale every morning to see no change. I'm not going to stop, it just sucks losing so much so fast and then nothing. My body is holding onto my mid section. I just want to get rid of this damn belly fat. Thanks for the videos! Knowledge is truly power.
Broke the plateau, down to 206 today
Good for you Andy. Did you do anything different?
@@TLS31255Thanks!
I did, it sounds crazy but I started eating more and stopped doing cardio. I was pushing my body too hard and starving it so it was in survival mode and started holding on to everything I put into it. I eat between 1600-1800 calories a day now instead of 1000-1200 and focus more on weight training 6 days a week. I was doing weight training and a ton of cardio. I also try to make it a point to eat a good amount of fiber and protein throughout the day as well.
I am exactly in the same position as you were. EVERYTHING. Glad you’re making progress. I was really depressed.
@@scorpionking7510 keep after man! I'm down to 188!
I have been IF since December. Down 50. Could not lose that last 10. Went back to eating normal (still healthy,) for two weeks (didn’t weigh myself) Went IF again 1 week before Drs appoint. His scale had me down 7 lbs. I could not believe it, thought it had to be calibrated wrong. Next day, on my scale, I was also down the 7. So, body need a break apparently. Yes, just stick with it. Don’t just obsessively weigh yourself. Keep doing your thing and let it happen for you.
Thanks man, I’ve been doing Keto/IF for the past 60 days. Had great results so far but absolutely dreading the inevitable plateau. I like your advice.
I always get over a 'plateau' by taking time off the gym and giving my body the opportunity to rest and recover. I get crazy fast 'newbie' results once I start working out again!
Did you weight lifting as well?
@@Nicole-fb6fr did you weight gain when you stop go to the gym?
@@jacksparrow9532 yes, still do.
My favorite part is when he said
“plaht’ohhh 😁” lol
Right on point my man. I've told so many people who stay in great shape all year round they've been working out or been in the fitness industry for years and they know what to do because they went through all the bumps and made so many mistakes
At the end... “don’t change your calories, don’t change your training”.
Maybe not the best advice 🤔. If you’ve been on the same diet for a long time and made tons of weight loss progress, it’s possible you’re no longer in a caloric deficit. If you’ve been at the same weight for weeks. It would be a good idea to try going 200 calories lower. Or adding 20-30 min of low intensity cardio to what you’re currently doing.
I didn't know what is platuea until i searched why im not loosing weight my weight is stucked in 94kg for 3 months but is see slight body changes can you please give me a tips how to stop that platuea
Thanks,Spencer! I’ve been actuallu doing this . Let’s see wht happens.
200 calories a day ok
No bs no sugar coating I don't subscribe often but definitely respect this. Let's go. Lost weight quickly and hit a "platoooo" did the average up to now and it's 5 lbs a week average I can't be mad at that.
This guy just earn himself another subscriber. Never had anyone put this kind of perspective on me before. Usualy they only talk about changi g the routine. Not the mental game
Thanks for the sub!
Thanks for this advice. I really needed to hear it! I've lost 100 lbs. in the past year but have lost no weight in over 2 weeks. I remained patient and just broke the plateau after 18 days.
I started my weight loss about 6 weeks ago. Starting weight was 228 and I'm now down to 211. I am a big sweets eater and pretty sedentary. I have started with IF, 18/6. I only eat dinner and 1-2 snacks each day. My calories are around 1200. I haven't incorporated exercise just yet, other than riding bikes with my daughters some days. I know the plateau is coming, and most of what I've lost so far is probably only water weight. But I'm not giving up this time-I haven't been under 200 in almost a decade and I'm so close!
Very proud to hear that, keep at it with the IF and calorie counting. You could also try incorporating some low intensity cardio like a light jog outside or home workouts and the fat, thats underneath the water weight, will eventually melt off as youre doing everything else the right and healthy way! Keep going 💯
Keep going you can do it❤
Man I needed these words of encouragement. 😊it changed my way of thinking about my Weight loss journey. Thanks
I was looking for miracle tips to break it and found your video and I think what you said is actually the best thing I’ve heard so far !
Awesome advice that can be used on everything in life.
Thanks a lot !
Thanks, I needed to hear this. Been the story of my entire adult life. Step 1: go on fad diet. Step 2: lose a bunch of weight quickly and get excited. Step 3: stop losing weight as quickly. Step 4: start asking why I'm suffering for "no results." Step 5: quit and regain all my weight and then some. Step 6: see Step 1.
At the very least, I'm glad that I'm tired of this pattern and recognize that it even is a pattern. I'm going to keep at it.
I've been at kettlebell training for going on 3 years, and have seen slow but steady progress the whole time. I love this video. Have patience, and keep the faith! Thanks, MindPump!
This was actually..... exactly what I needed to hear. I don't really appreciate the mockery because this is something real to people, but it did help change my way of thinking. So thank you for this video.
He’s giving good advice stop complaining. 😬
Finally got some logical answer, i was worried about my “Plateau” and now i got the answer, Thanks man
Main reason I'm here. I'm at that "plateau" trying to figure it out! 😂. I've been in the gym every day and fasting for two weeks and zero weight loss. Zero sugar and minimal carbs. Lots of protein intake and no weight loss. I am going to intake more fiber and water in my diet to see if that will change things. Keep going.
That's so similar to my situation right now! It's super frustrating but I need to try to keep going.
Me too, lost 4lbs in the first week, hitting the gym 6 days/week but no results afterwards, thinking of zig zag diet
This was oddly beautiful idc what anyone says. Also he got me on the emphasis of “plateau” I couldn’t stop laughing 😂
It’s tough. I’ve lost just over 90 pounds this year(2022). 340 down to in between 243-247. I’ve been in a “plateau” for about a month and it is discouraging. I did take a 3 week break from the gym from a work related accident where my ankle was injured. But I am back in the gym now 4 days a week but the scale isn’t going down anymore. Im Washington he said way I have the whole year to lose more weight. I am sticking to around 2000 calories a day. I do have a protein shake with creatine after every workout so considering I’m gaining muscle, could be a factor as to why I’m not losing too much weight. My fat is turning into muscle but I still have a lot of leg fat and belly fat that I’m having a difficult time trying to get rid of. Thanks to all who read this (not sure how many that will be) but I’ll keep doing my best and keep going to the gym to better myself. Enjoy yourselves everyone
Damn I wish more people can see this. This was wayyyy more motivational than I thought it would be. Helps more than you think! Can you guys do a video about drinking? I train 6 days a week and rest on Sunday and drinking HEAVY 1 day a week. I need some opinions on if that’s really messing my gains up
I felt like this until my last doctors appointment, and she was pleasantly surprised to see that my blood pressure was actually normal. There are results that you might be getting that aren’t measurable by a scale. 👍
Thank you so much. This really makes sense and helps that said weightloss progress are zig zag and never straight.
I have been searching fix for my weightloss plateau. It’s been a month and my weight has been stagnant even after following proper diet and workout regimen.
Your advice really makes sense. Thank you.
Great video and just what I wanted to hear , I was losing weight on a daily basis and just stopped !!! I know it’s impossible to lose weight every day but I am stuck on the same weight for a few days . This video has helped me not to give up thank you 😊
Even though this was 3 years ago, it's EXACTLY what I needed to hear right NOW! Thank you!
I started my diet and excercise on November 1 at 265 pounds and I'm down to 224 pounds today.........ever since u said Just keep going I'm going .....I gotta get to 210
😂😂😂😂😂That train analogy hilarious and definitely put this into the proper perspective. Thx. Glad I came here.
that train analogy makes so much sense
I really need to keep this in mind right now. I've recently ramped up my cardio but seemed to have stalled out on weight loss. I'm trying hard to forget that I'm not seeing progress right NOW but that I WILL if I keep it up.
Im not that much into the motivational stuff, but this one for sure got me motivated
I’m down 7lbs in 17 days right now, losing weight for the military.. if I gotta keep going then I will.. thanks for posting
You’re the reason why I stopped thinking the way I did when I always gave up during weight loss. Your words the way you speak just hit home and stick with me. I know what’s wrong and what’s bad. I know weight loss isn’t perfect downhill but when it comes to me my mind wasn’t strong enough to cope with “plateau” and I’d give up. Ever since I’ve been listening to you since august I’ve lost 25 pounds and I’m getting close to my end goal. Currently stuck in a “plateau” and waiting it out because I know I’m not eating 3500 calories extra daily or weekly.
What’s your progress now? I’m curious 😅
I needed to hear this before quitting. Thank u
Thank You! I needed to hear this. I will never quit my Doctor said I was pre diabetic 😳 my life changed forever I lost 30 lbs I want to lose 30 more I need to be patient I just want my lab results to come back better.
Best video so far about this topic
that train story is acc the best thing ive heard on this subject.
I should not have laughed when you said plaaaaaa toeeeeee but I chuckled. This was exactly the message I needed! I’ve been scrambling trying to figure out how to burn more fat and I’m nearing burnout. So glad I came across this video. No more crying about a plaaaaa toeeeee 🤣
I love this video. This guy makes it real and personal.
It's as though he knows my story and is giving me a tough love pep talk.
I subscribed.
That was very direct and exactly what I was looking for 👍
Needed to hear this brother, thank you.
This is the best video i've watched in the whole TH-cam ever!!!
Wow!
I come back to this often and I usually get over this rough spot after watching
Literally what I needed to hear because I was telling myself I cut too many calories too fast, and I was about to ruin my progress
I just reached my plateau. I needed this video. It was 33 inches around the waist I’m at 29 I wanna be at 27. I just need to keep pushing forward even though I feel like I’ve been at the same waist line for at least three weeks now.
Thanks for the motivation. I was happy when I was losing a lot of weight in 5 months then it stopped. I did everything but my weight won’t budge. I got frustrated and resulted to panic and binge eating. Next thing I know I’m gaining weight again. I was in a plateau for 4 months now…. But I realized I shouldn’t stop after all what I did…. Now because of this video I gained my motivation back and ready to continue my journey towards a healthy lifestyle….
Did you end up losing weight again? I am still in a plataeu for almost 3 months.
@@Mike-fd5wj still in a stall?
I’ve come back to listen to this again. Just keep going. I am! Thank you.
The last 4 months I’ve lost 30 lbs. I was 180 now I’m 150. I am doing the same thing I have been doing, but haven’t been able to lose anymore for the last week. It’s scary lol. But this helped
I love your analogy of the train! I know this was about weight but "Amen" "Amen". On a train I wait....! So true!
Bro you don’t know how much I needed this advice atm
this motivated the entire HECK outta me today! tysm for doing what you're doing
I really needed to hear this .Thank you 😊
I will keep going. But it's good to hear this. I only started on the 29th December, lost 2 kilos in about 12 days and then I have not lost a gram since!!! But I'm keeping on going because I'm eating well and I've cut out sugar and flour and only having healthy carbs. Tuna, salmon, mince, chicken with lots of veg. Some nuts, eggs. I'm not hungry. Maybe I could reduce my calories but as I'm only 155cm I set a limit of 1200 and have been finding it ok most days but I think going lower would be tough to keep up for ever, so I'll try not to cry at my 19 day ''stall'' and just keep on keeping on.
old video, but putting it into to "rewatch category" for when things get wonky
Does it still aply if since three weeks im in 1500kcal deficit and cant go under 80kg?
Thank you this is my first time really trying to lose weight and I know that I'm way under in my calories so I should be fine but I'm not seeing results for the past 2 weeks I've been fairly stable in my weight but I've been feeling good about what I've been doing I just wondered if there was something I could do more and this reminded me that I'm doing well I just need to keep doing it you're awesome thanks for the video
not gna lie my guy, i needed this today, thank you 🙏
i went from 220 to 187 in about 17 weeks, after 2 weeks i got one the scale and it read 193, 6 days later i weighted 195 and now i weigh 197, i have still been in a calorie deficit and tracking my calories, it feels bad but ill keep going, i dont think i look “chubbier” but body dysmorphia us not helping at all, i have also not had time to do weight lifting because of work so i couldn’t have gained the pounds from muscle mass
I'm in the same situation right now! At the start two months ago my weight scale was dropping like crazy then now I'm stuck between 214 to 217 for 3-4 weeks now.. hasn't gone lower than 214 yet. Kinda misleading and makes me feel like I wanna alternate or give up. 😩
Thank you, I needed this today.
Needed to hear this. Glad I found this video
What happens if I have been at the same weight for 3 months working super hard and haven’t seen any changes
Wow I could kiss this man thank you for the inspiration I really needed it
Thank you. I told myself to keep doing the work but I guess I needed to hear it from someone else. Just. Keep. Going. Thank you!
I was in my plateau for 3 months already weighing 82kg. I just gave up but I have fear of returning my 106kg again so i maintained my everyday walk for 30mins and started eating high carbs then I saw this video 1 month ago actually and now I started losing again thank you. I started my meal with 1 apple and milk at 5am then I walked 45mins everyday then I have my full meal at 8am like 3 tbsp og oatmeal, 2 eggs then 1 cup og veg. This will make me full until 1pm then I ate my lunch oatmeal again with 1 fish and vegs, then I will force to eat light meal before 6pm like vegs and 2 ngiohiong thats all. Then slept at 8pm.
So needed to hear this💪🏿💯
Sh*t man I needed to hear that so much I lost about 18 kg in the past 7 months and my weight has not dropped in the past two weeks. I got really paranoid really quick 😅 thank you 🙏
What if you’ve been stuck at same weight for 3 months ?
I love how he says “plateau” in a condescending voice a couple times. Shit had me dying ngl 😂 idk why
Great message applicable to so many areas of life, thanks for sharing.
this is just what i needed to hear today
I totally needed to hear this today. Thank you.
I really needed to hear this right now 🙏🏼
I really needed to hear this man. Like legit this so much better than a solution to fix it.
I just came to hear this. Such a relief for me!❤
It really made my day...thanx for this video..much needed motivation today
Wait wait, so if im in a calorie deficit for long enough Im gonna loose the rest of my belly fat ?
Omg! That's a good point. I also need to apply this to other areas of my life 😁
I needed this pep talk today. :)
No bs hacks and tricks, just pure hard truths. Thanks👍👍 down 30 lbs and hit that plateau 😂😂
Thanks. I’ve lost 22lbs in 30 days, every dan going down a little bit. Last 6 days i have lost only 300 grams. I didn’t change my diet but the progress is not there for some reason. Today i was so angry that I eat something loaded with kcal… just like you said it. Gonna behave better tomorrow, thanks for this great advice
Thank you for the,"plateau" comedy...I needed the laugh. I was feeling down because I didn't hit my weekly weightloss mark.Most importantly rewiring my mindset too.
❤ thank you! u made my day because sometimes i just have no patience! also made my day the way you say plateau❤
You just inspired me to keep going , thank you
Needed this today! Cheer dude
Hahahahahha i was sitting on the train and it was stuck for 7 minutes Straight, in the middle of nowhere. And then just as he said no u wait till the Doors Close and it keeps going the train started going again. This is a sign this man speaking fax 🤣🤣
Thank you for making this so simple and easy to understand.
No problem!
thank you for the reality check
Hahahaha it's true info here but PLAH TOE throughout the video is great
Thank you. I needed to hear this.
Really good video for which I thank you.
Hell yeah thanks dude
I needed to hear this
I haven't lost weight in over a month. Not quitting but it's frustrating. I measure and weigh all my food and I am very active. I don't feel like I can eat less than 1800 calories a day.
Thank you for this.. really.
is jordan joining the mind pump team full time??? cyz if so i fully support it
Mate I lost 20 pounds in 4 months, but since I've been stuck at 81kg. It's been over two months now. I've started working out daily (even doing strength training whereas before I only ran) and I count every single calorie I put in my body, making sure I'm on an (at least) 7700 calorie deficit per week. This may apply to many other people but I think there's something wrong here.
Same issue brother i also lost 25 pounds in 5 months and i am stuck at 105 for around a month and it is so annoying 😭
When you train so hard and get to see no results
Thank you, I needed to hear that.
Needed this thank you sir 🙏
