    Increase your exercise or change the exercise you are doing.

    Calculate TDEE and eat that for 2 weeks then cut cals at only 20% from TDEE.

    This is all rehash of 1000s of previous posts. Raven is right.

    Elevate your caloric intake by about 150% for 3-4 days. This will "reset" your metabolism so to speak. The general thinking being that if you are consistently eating below your RDI, your body will adjust and gradually burn less until your deficits are not effective any longer.

    eat at maintenance for 2-3 days .. then back on your lowered cals .. that normally works for me :)
