    I had a short-ish plateau of 3 weeks a month or so ago. I had been eating around 1400-1500 cals net give or take and only doing cardio and low-weight high-rep lifting. I had planned to start heavy lifting anyway so I upped my calories to 1700 net and started NROLFW, and I've since lost 4lb. Not sure though if this was due to the calories and/or the lifting, or if was just one of those things.

    Check the accuracy of your logging. If your not losing weight you're eating at maintenance. 99% of the populations metabolism is within normal bounds and doesn't suddenly get more efficient.
