Understanding Plateaus in Fitness: Coach Patrick explains what a plateau is in a fitness journey—when progress stalls and the scale doesn’t budge despite consistent effort. He emphasizes that it’s a common issue that shouldn’t lead to quitting but instead requires a solid game plan to overcome.
Five Common Mistakes Leading to Plateaus: Patrick identifies the top five mistakes people make during a plateau, including:
Increasing Protein Intake: Patrick stresses the importance of consuming one gram of protein per pound of body weight for fat loss and recovery. He suggests options like protein powders, protein bars, and lean protein sources (chicken breast, eggs, fish) to meet these goals.
Monitoring Fat Intake and Reading Labels: He advises on being mindful of fat intake, particularly when buying prepackaged food. High-fat content can push you into a calorie surplus, so reading food labels and opting for lean cuts of protein is essential to avoid excess calorie consumption.
Consistency and Patience: Patrick emphasizes the importance of staying consistent and patient in the journey, especially when overcoming plateaus. He encourages listeners to maintain healthy habits, avoid drastic changes, and continue with their program to achieve long-term results. He wraps up by offering his support through his Dream Team Academy for those seeking further guidance.
