Plateau Busting Diet?



Recommended Posts

Seems like I've seen a five day plateau busting diet on these forums, but I haven't been able to find it this morning using the search feature. Does anybody have any info on how to break a plateau??

Maybe that's what it is. Is it also designed to bust a plateau?

I would love to have some tips in this area as well. I seem to be at a bit of a plateau myself.

When I'm at a plateau I do the pouch test or 3days of liquids to curb any smacking and sweets. And it helps.

This will pretty much tell you everything you need to know. I am doing it right now! I was eating just too much and I swear I was gaining and losing the same 5 lbs. over and over again. It has been really tough so far with the hunger issues and cravings, but I am committed to sticking to it! I have already done 2 days of liquids and today is day 3, so I'm doing soft Protein. I'm going to do another day of soft Protein (I really like the tuna parmesan patty and Breakfast bake and had some lefted over). Then I will move on to firm, then solid protein. I have lost weight and pretty sure most of it is Water. This makes me feel like I can keep up the good eating habits and finally get to my goal!

      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.
