For those finding themselves in a plateau with their weight loss, I thought I'd share a few words for motivation. I was rereading the "700 calories a day and not losing" post (love it and read it many times lol), and for some reason this particular paragraph just popped out at me. I love the last two sentences. Isn't that the truth?! Hope you enjoy :bigsmile:
"In certain, very stubborn cases, it may be necessary to eat at a eucaloric (maintenance) or hypercaloric (over maintenance) level for a few weeks to ensure the metabolism does get the signal that everything is alright and you aren't going to kill the body.
Remember, your body could care less about your desire for fat loss. It just wants to survive."
