How to break a plateau



Recommended Posts

I was banded in March and wasn't losing much. Someone suggested I increase my Water intake and I have started losing. I'm finally past 25 pounds and slowly approaching 30. In April I was still at only 11 pounds lost and thought I'd never get moving.

Try looking in to the zigzag method....your body has most likely become accustomed to the calorie level intake and is not going to let go of the calories as quickly. Try this site for the 7 day zigzag: http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm#

The theory is that you do your baseline calories for 2 days and then spike up your calorie intake every 2 days. It keeps your body guessing and out of starvation mode. It is very important to get in the 1200 calories that you body needs to stay out of starvation. This really helped me....along with 5 hours of exercise a week.

Best of luck!!
