    This fruit salad is over 700 calories but only like 1 gram of fat, something like 9 protein... there's sugar but it's okay unless you're diabetic.

    There's 164g of sugar, wow I can feel my pancreas limbering up at the very thought of it - that's a week's worth for me !


    i suspect the actual key in the OP is the bit about calorie creep.
    164grams? That's quite a bit. And yeah, like a weeks worth for me.

    I found this last week after I googled "How to break through a plateau". I did it and now I'm losing weight again.
    1. Eat more: Ninety percent of the time plateaus are caused by your body’s survival mechanism of protecting against famine, which is triggered by calorie reduction. The best way to fix this quickly is to give your body a little more food so it feels secure. Varying your calorie intake is my best advice for keeping your body from plateauing: For the next three days vary your calorie intake between 1,800 and 2,400 calories. I know this may sound crazy, but trust me…I know what I’m doing. Then, after three days, drop back down to the calorie allowance that I have set for you through this program.

    2. Reduce your sodium and DRINK LOTS OF WATER: Keep your sodium under 1,500 mg a day at most for as long as you can manage. You can achieve this in part by cutting all processed food out of your diet for two weeks.

    I promise you that if you follow these tips to the letter, your plateau will be shattered by the end of week 2!

    Another site warns of "calorie creep"... your portions and servings getting to be more and larger over time.... they were right.


    Thanks for this posting. I am hitting another plateau. I broke my last plateau with increasing my calories. My next course of action is the zig-zagging methodology.
