How I got past the dreaded “Diet Plateau”

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

I have struggled my entire life with obesity. After my second child, I had finally had enough.

I was ready to get skinny and there was no other option for me. I started to research the best diet and exercise plan to use.

I was surprised by all of the conflicting information. How could I tell the good information from the bad?

I decided to try the most promising plans for a week at a time… And record the results. Results were all that mattered to me.

The first four plans that I tried worked pretty well. I lost at least one pound on each one. Then I found one that made me gain five pounds in one week!

I was now one pound heavier than when I started. Fortunately the next plan lead to a six pound weight loss in a single week. I decided to try that one for awhile.

I thought I found a winner. The next week I lost another four pounds.

Then nothing during the third and fourth week. I had hit the plateau… The dreaded plateau.

I went back to testing plans. I found that if I switched to a different plan every week… Weight loss continued.

I shared the plans that worked along with how much I lost to my friends. They tried the same thing.

They switched plans every week among the plans that worked for me. That worked for them too. I solved the dreaded “plateau” problem. And lost 70 pounds in record time. I hope this helps you with your weight loss goals. Let me know if this helps you too!
