Need help: Too few Calories to break Plateau



Recommended Posts

Howdy y'all

I'm having a bit of a conundrum. I use to lose weight each week eating 1200 Calories a day... then I plateaued. So I dropped downed to 1000 Calories a day and began losing again. When I plateaued again, I started eating 800 Calories and began to lose weight again. When I try bringing my Calories back up to 1000 a day, I re-enter my plateau. The writing on the wall is telling me that I'm going to eventually plateau again eating 800 Calories a day and I don't want to drop down to 600 to start losing again. Any advice?

Try changing up your exercise instead

Agree about changing up your exercise routine. Another thing that you might want to try is to change up your calories per day. Example: You have 800 cals per day x 7 days is 5600 per week. Divide that 5600 up differently, like 800 one day, 1000, the next, 1200 the next, 900 the next day. Do this while still watching your carbs, fat and Protein.

This was something I tried when dieting in the past and found myself stalled. It worked. Worth a try. Good Luck breaking through!!
