About every 4-6 weeks, just like clock work, my body hits a plateau. On average I drop a pound to a pound and a half of FAT a week. But I will hit a wall and level out during this plateau period. No matter what I do I can not take off FAT during this time. I have tried everything I know of with little success. So I decided to go with it. The same way I have a treat meal or treat day every seven days, I use my plateau as a sabbatical. It's time for my metabolism to rest, so for at least seven days, sometimes longer I add good clean calories and good carbs to my diet. I will gain a little weight during this time, but when it's over and I go back to my normal lean diet I will drop FAT immediately, sometimes as much as five to seven pounds the first week. Usually twelve to fifteen pounds in the next month.
This principle is apropos to many areas of life. Don't burn out! When you stop progressing take a break! Then come back stronger than ever!!!
ENJOY THE PLATEAU
