Great tips! I totally agree with changing things up when you hit a plateau. When I was doing Weight Watchers a few years ago, I followed this advice and after months of tracking I noticed that the weeks I had indulged in a restaurant meal and then ate lighter the next day to balance it out, were always the weeks that I had a loss.
The problem is when you let the "big" days become your "normal" days... then you gain it back.
Thanks for this helpful post!0 -
Haven't had time to read much of this post so may have missed the answer to my question which is this .... where did you get your information from? Thanks
I got this information from 2 main sources, one being countless internet sources and research from numerous health and medical websites ( I must have gone through more than 100 sites over course of 5 months); second source is people on here, I read sooooooo many posts, including lots on plateau and have read what has helped others break through their plateau. So I took the two and combined them
All people are different, and works for some doesn't for others, I tried to combine as much as I could find together0 -
I read some really great information on this topic on this board:

Excellent additional information!0 -
Thank you everyone for your kind comments, I am glad this is still helping people. I am no doctor, but this is everything that I have learned and read from health/medical sites, and what I have learned from people's posts on here. One things you can never go wrong with is mixing it up, always keep your body guessing and you won't even give it a chance to plateau0

"Teas, coffe, sodas, etc do not count as water sources, they actually dehydrate you. "
Wrong.

Not at all, I just made it so it's easier to read through and difrintiate different sections of the post since it's super long. Unfortunately MFP does not let you do HTML encoding, so I couldn't make it bold/italic nor change font size, otherwise I would have used that instead. I have been chewed up for the flowers and hearts over and over again, geez, sorry for trying to make it easier to read! lolz0 -
