Don't let your weight loss plateau get the best of you. Just make these tiny tweaks!
Get proper pre- and post- workout fuel
To ensure you’re getting the most out of your workout, you need to properly fuel yourself. While you might not like the idea of putting calories in that you have to burn off soon after, a snack like almonds is a great option.
Almonds are rich in amino acid L-arginine, which can help you to burn more fat and carbs during workouts.
Grapefruit and other citrus fruits are great for post-workout fuel because they contain nutrients that help your body to repair damaged soft tissue, while flushing toxins from your cells, so you can feel strong for your workouts all week long.

Drink more water
How much is enough? You might think you’re consuming enough water, but chances are, you’re slacking.
The more water you drink, the more calories you burn. Research has found that drinking water increases the amount of calories you burn, called resting energy expenditure.
Studies have also found that when you drink water matters as well. Drinking water half an hour before meals is the most effective.
Besides, drinking water in general is known to help you feel more full, so you eat less!
