Default needle wont move

Adam.

Weight loss stalls are common in any program.It may be a number of
things. Try eating something different or substituting something. Vary
your diet. make sure you cut out the sugar and try to avoid salt as
much as possible. 1400 cal/day seems pretty small for a guy like you.
probably you need about 2000/day. esp if exercising which you should be
doing along with the dieting. Here's a novel iea, and it does seem to
work: Have a really nice meal, completely off diet, really enjoy
yourself. then go right back to the diet. I know it doesnt seem to make
a lot of sense but it seems to sort of kick start the metaoblism. This
willl sometimes get your body off the plateau you seem to be stuck at.
But mostly remember a diet is not just for a few weeks. It really
doesnt matter what you weigh now, its what you will weigh a year from
now and beyond that really counts.
