What did you do?



Recommended Posts

I seem to have hit a plateau and my weight has pretty much stayed the same for the past month. I figure part of it is due to getting closer to my goal and it will now start slowing down. If this has happened to you, can you share what you did to kick it back into gear?:puke:

Try logging everything you eat using a site like the daily plate or something similar.

That way you can get an accurate number of how many calories you are consuming.

Using that information, tweak your diet and increase exercise to achieve the results you are looking for.

Truthfully, I think if you up your lean Protein calories, that will help a bit. Check your carbs versus protein ratio, too. I did find that my mini-plateau was a combo of carbs and calories, I was using the wrong calories. I also think if you switch up your exercise routine that helps. It's like that P90X - they do have some points about muscle confusion. :smile: But, it's more "body confusion". LOL!

I'm slowing down, too. I do log my food on fitday.com, and use a bodybugg to make sure I have a good deficit each day. I eat a low-carb diet, too. Still, it is slowing down---and the only thing that seems to effect much change is bumping up my exercise.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
