    I read the post. I'm responding to a specific statement made here.

    But it was obvious what he meant without you having to point out medical conditions, lol.

    If you're on a plateau, it's just gluten.

    Thank you - this is refreshing. I get tired of seeing people say "if you've plateaued you should eat more food" - he's right, a plateau is because your maintenance adjusts as you lose weight and you need to adjust with it.

    You mean other people lose weight when they eat less too? I thought it was just me!

    Has anyone also found the opposite is true? If you eat more, you gain weight?

    This was a good read. While it is common sense many get caught up in the science, where the reality is move more eat less. Thanks for the link.

    I disagree about the point where if you haven't lost weight in 3 weeks you need to look at what you're doing, honestly. For women it's not as simple, heck I've had 3 weeks 'plateaus' every month for 4 months.

    Pretty sure you didn't read it very well, then.

    Did you read the first three words? "Medical issues aside" I'm new around here, but it seems like there are a lot more women than men talking about plateaus on the message boards. You know those female hormones fluxations you guys love to say you don't understand and even make fun of? They are medical issues. Men = sperm, women = everything else. Is that always the culprit? Absolutely not! But considering all the pcos talk, etc, it would be wise not to jump quite so quickly to simply input vs output. You don't lose your ability to make sperm and procreate when you exercise at elite levels and/or take in too few calories, so it's probably best not to tell us how our bodies work just like yours. :)
