    I know when I was stuck at a certain weight for awhile I bumped my calories up for a few days and finally the scale moved. He's right because your metabolism does slow down the less calorie intake you have, sometimes you need to Shock it!

    you dont shock the body,the longer you are in a deficit sure your metabolism will slow down a bit,but it wont stop you from losing weight,well not for a healthy person anyway.when you bumped up your calories your weekly amounts still probably put you in a deficit,so yes you lost weight, some people measure their calories weekly,meaning instead of eating say 1800 a day(1800x7=12600) they may eat say 1400 one day,1200 another,and maybe 500 another(not saying you should do this or go this low,its an example),and then maybe 2000 another,. they are still in a deficit because they are still getting their weekly average and in a deficit.

    Shocking the body.. now this is funny..

    Sometimes when I hit a plateau, I pay somebody to dress up like an evil clown and jump out from behind a corner.

    Well, it didn't boost my metabolism, but it was shocking!
