How To Break A Stall?

[krenzema 14]

I am 25 days post op and haven't lost a pound in 12 days. I need suggestions on how to break a stall. I do remember reading a website that provided a 4 day guide to breaking a weight loss stall, but I can't find it anymore. Thanks for your help!

FYI - I get 700-900 calories each day, 50-70 grams of Protein, low carbs, I walk 3 miles 5 days a week and I'm stuck at 299 (315 on SD)

I was told two things: 1st your body goes into a stravation mode at about 3 weeks when it realizes that it's not getting as much calories as it is used to. 2nd that males need to try to achieve 80-100 grams of Protein and 64 oz of liquid per day especially early on. Watch what type of carbs you are having, soft carbs such as mashed potatoes and soft Pasta of not good especially as early as you are out. My NUT told me you will experience stalls and just to keep the protein,fluids and exercise up and you will break thru. If it continues I would call and ask some questions. Good Luck

Repeat after me: "this stall will pass". Keep repeating it. Seriously, all stalls will break on their own. You will wake up morning and say "holy crap...I lost 3 lbs last night". And then the cycle continues over and over again. Better get used to it.

Yup, what Fiddlerman said. My 6.5 week stall just broke. I was stuck at 205-210 for 6.5 weeks then BAM!!!! I went from 207 to 198 in just a few days. Just keep the faith and keep following the program, it will end when it is ready.

I was so worried when I stopped losing weight after week 1. i stalled for almost 3 weeks :/ I tried everything humanly possible to break the stall and I dont believe it can be broke until your body decides to adjust. it just broke the lest few days and with in that short period of time i dropped 7 lbs. YAY, hang in there. It WILL happen for you!

I second SkinnieMinnie. You need to make sure you are drinking your Water. Try upping your water for a bit and see if that helps.

How's ur Water intake? I find when I increase my Water and take all my Vitamins my stalls break

I normally get 36-48 oz of water and two 11oz shakes for a total of 58-70 oz of liquid per day.

I started upping my water intake yesturday and will make sure I keep up with my daily Vitamins.< /p>
