a Plateau question.......
Eat low fat and low calorie for a week and then switch back to low carb.
-- JC Lyle's New Ultimate Diet "1. eat less you fat **** 2. exercise more you fat ****" "Snick" wrote in message ... I am sure this question has been posted hundreds of times but I have not been in the LC Newsgroup for a few months: I have lost 25 lbs. in 3 mos which is 10% of my pre-diet weight and I have plateau'd now. I haven't dropped a single pound in almost 3 weeks. I am sticking to the plan rather faithfully with my carb count at between 20 and 30 grams a day, which is the rate that allows me to normally drop 1 1/2 to 3 lbs a week. What do I need to do to get off this plateau? Or will my body eventually shake it off on its own? HELP! I'm getting discouraged! |

a Plateau question.......
Unfortunately with Plateaus it's difficult to say for certain what might break them. .. A few suggestions i've heard tossed around here include.. eating more carbs than normal for a day (maybe 2) Eating more calories than normal (keeping Carbs steady) Adding More exercise. Checking and eliminating in some cases dairy items checking your consumption of calories and re evaluating if need be Upping your water intakes eliminating caffeine. It's mostly a 'your body , your science experiment thing' ... and sticking true to the path you are on... usually produced the downward trend continuing. In my own opinion.. I would check your calories and perhaps you will have to adjust there. I know myself.. I let a few more calories sneak in than I thought. I also started exercising regularly.. and am crediting that for getting things going again. Good Luck with whatever you find... I hope you will find that some of this.. or maybe one of these will help you. ~Karen` On Sun, 28 Sep 2003 22:31:38 -0700, Snick wrote: I am sure this question has been posted hundreds of times but I have not been in the LC Newsgroup for a few months: I have lost 25 lbs. in 3 mos which is 10% of my pre-diet weight and I have plateau'd now.

Whoa. That's quite an update from "try harder." And you know what? I bet
it would work. I don't plan it this way, but some days I'll eat low-ish fat and much lower calorie than others, while still being low-carb, and I haven't stalled yet.

Post some food logs here and someone might spot something that is holding you back. (lowcarb bars, peanuts, too much protein for example) Are you drinking plenty of water? At least half of what you weigh? for example 200lbs try drinking 100oz of water a day. Just some thoughts here to toss out! Cheryl lowcarbing for 4 and half years! |

Nice hypothesis, but give an example.
