That should make your body think things are back to the old way and you will bust the plateau. That is what I do and it works every time. Our bodies adapt to consistency and if you have been too on plan then it is has figured you out. Throw it for a loop.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08301763232264453237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517537111134440492.post-29927094890364570902010-10-14T15:00:21.074-07:002010-10-14T15:00:21.074-07:0075 pounds, Erika, 75 pounds!!!

Then the next day go really fast with maybe some jogging in there (HA! I don't run!). It will keep your body going and on its tows.

That's a variety of daily intake from 200-800 calories to prevent plateauing. I'm not sure it works, and wouldn't presume to tell you to increase cals for a couple of days, though. My opinion really is that exercise kickstarts weight gain out of a plateau better than anything else. And it sure is healthier than what anorexics/ED do. You're on an extremely healthful diet, so I wouldn't change that. After all, you don't want an electrolyte imbalance and subsequent heart attack. <br /><br />You must have the cleanest house in the country. You're impressive in so many ways, but that sure is a top one.Food Freakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15600351103136707132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517537111134440492.post-36836862993170845622010-10-14T08:30:02.920-07:002010-10-14T08:30:02.920-07:00I'm new to your blog so I'm wondering if y...I'm new to your blog so I'm wondering if you do the calorie cycling at all... 3 days eating for weight loss and the 4th day eating more than that so your body doesn't go into storage mode instead of burning mode.<br /><br />I've also found that I stall if I slow down on drinking water.<br /><br />I hope this helps!Jayne Doehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171437325305170395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517537111134440492.post-46651339329481776672010-10-14T08:25:47.310-07:002010-10-14T08:25:47.310-07:00Keep on doing what you're doing.
