When I did the plateau buster, my surgeon ok'ed it but he didn't recommend that I do it more than 10 days. I agree becausee it's just like any low carb diet. We don't eat carbs for a certain amount of time and you loose a lot of weight but as soon as you incorporate carbs back your diet, you gain some of the weight back.
Just come up with a good eating plan that balances out the carbs and protein. If you go on a crash diet and cut back the calories drastically, you will loose but as soon as you start eating a "normal" amount of calories, you will gain it back.
My daily calorie intake is between 1200 and 1300 calories, no more than 100 carbs and at least 100 grams of protein. Most of my 100 carbs a day are from fruit and vegetables. I allow myself 1 carb a day when it comes to bread, grits, cereal, pasta or potatoes.
I joined WW to get back on track and it helped me. My lowest was 184 and I gained to 207. I'm not 179. Consider going to weigh****chers. It's an awesome program. The support is great and knowing that you have to go weigh in once a week, helps you stay on track!
Good luck!!!!
