For many, losing the final 5kg can be one of the most challenging aspects of their weight loss journey. For whatever reason our bodies tend to hit a plateau once we’ve reached the final stretch, and it begins to feel like it is going to be impossible to shed the last little bit of weight. For whatever reason you need to get rid of the last of the jiggle, here are a few tips to get you started in the right direction.
Drink Plenty of Water to Lose the Final 5kg
One of the most important things to remember when you find yourself hitting a weight loss plateau is to drink plenty of water. Make sure you get at least 8 glasses of water in by the end of the day- and once you’ve reached your 8 glasses, drink a few more. The more water you drink the more weight your body will be able to shed. While it may seem too simple to actually work, you’ll be amazed at the difference a little water can make.
Watch Your Serving Sizes

People in general have a tendency to overeat out of habit. If you find that you tend to put more food on your plate than you should be eating, try using smaller plates. Sometimes that’s all your body needs to trick your stomach into thinking it’s full.
Watch Your Beverages
While it may be often overlooked, what you choose to drink affects your weight loss success more than you realize. Most juices and sodas contain almost as many calories as your actual meal does- sometimes more. If you find that you are having a difficult time losing the final 5kg, consider completely eliminating every beverage but water from your diet for a couple weeks. You’ll be amazed at the weight you can lose by just following this simple step.
