I've worked out my body's secrets!!

Hey Sarah!

It took a bit of tweaking to work out, but I kick started my plateau with a massive burn last saturday, and made sure I ate well around it (Friday, Saturday and Sunday). I then kept with big burns each day until now.

The first thing I did with my diet is up the protein for breakfast. This gave me a better start and kicked the metabolism early. Akeep the protein fairly high at lunch and up the carbs at lunch as well. Kept the crap out of my diet, sugar cravings mostly killed with fruit, or simply by walking them off.

Drinking at least 8 glasses of water and usually more.

Mixing the cardio exercise. For example, going for a run then immediately jumping on the bike, which challenges different muscles immediately forcing them to burn harder. Exercising in the morning and then staying active through the day to increase the burning.

My MFP tells me to eat around 1700 calories a day. I usually eat around 2000, this week I have eaten around 1600 of super wholefood with massive amounts of nutrients and goodness, not hungry at the end of the day, and burnt around 1000 calories per day. Doesnt work for everybody (many people "eat" their earnt calories) but it is working for me right now.

My body will probably need another tweak in a week or so when it flattens out again - I'm looking forward to the challenge again next time!

And staying positive - the weight WILL fall off eventually, its just trying different things to see if it works

Um I think that 1.1kg is 2.4 pounds?

Thanks Spaboleo, my plan is to gently easy back the exercise when i get off this "metabolic wave" and gently increase the food back to 2000 calories. My PT is in contact with me every day and confirming how to do this. I was worried initially that I was losing too much too fast, but he has assured me that it all comes back to the big burn on Saturday and there's nothing to be worried of. The amount each day im dropping is decreasing, which is a good sign that I am coming back to normal!

Ive been with him for 5 years and he has taken me to the fittest I have ever been a few years ago so I trust him!

Ive virtually lost all cravings for bad food now too which is a massive plus!

The food im eating is a lot of cottage cheese, pineapple (big fat burning food), wholegrains, mostly organic everything, eggs for breakfast, lots of fruit and vegetables, lean chicken and fish mainly for meat sources. And heaps of water!
