Not a single mention of a diet break. What is this world coming to. Diet break > all for breaking through plateau.

There is mention not in those words but its there but unfort it doesn't work for everyone

I have yet to see a proper diet break not work for someone. Proper diet break = two weeks at maintenance. That's usually how long it takes for the hormones that are effected by diet to normalize.

No plateau yet, but it seems like there is a slow week every other week. Once a week I track my body fat %. So far I see this continuing to tick down even when the weight loss slows. Likewise I take the body measurements once a week and continue to see beneficial improvement there even when weight loss slows. Keeps the frustration low.

I'm in week 5 of the 6 Week Cure plan. I'm not in maintenance mode with so much weight to go (probably a 30 week cure for me), but this does shake up the body in a manner your propose. Until I reach goal weight and shift to maintenance I will be doing two weeks of low carb, high protein and then 1 week of 3 protein shakes/day + 1 real meal.

The weight loss has see-sawed off. The first week of dietary switch I get nice big drops. The second week it slows. I was sick of the protein shakes at the end of week 2, but when I got to the end of week 4 (2 weeks of high protein/low carbs) I was kinda excited to get on shakes again. I expected a nice loss week and it's worked out that way.

Lots of exercise as well. Going into week 6 I'm adding strength/core training to cardio. See if I can blast through my slow week.

I've plateaued for a few weeks now and didn't know what to do. This info is great! I'm going to check the gym schedule this week to try out some new classes and switch it up a bit! Thank you :flowerforyou:

when I alternate a higher calorie day with a lower calorie day (think week two of 17 day diet) I get past my plateaus

Thank you for your post as I have just experienced my first plateau in my weight loss journey- how frustrating!!! I did some of the recommendations that you posted and I am back on track now- it is just nice knowing that I am not doing this alone. I have a great support system from both MFP and from my family. My husband even boosted up his workout just to help me through:) that difficult time as he knew how hard I had/have been working. Thank you again.
