I'm stuck

I'm going on week 2 without any weight loss!! I'm getting frustrated! Does anyone have the plateau buster diet? I'd like to try it and see if it works. I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong...i'm doing everything the same as before. Any suggestions?? Thanks Steph 350/330/191/165

Hi Steph, I am right there with ya! I feel like I live on a plateau but then I think, I am wearing size 8 clothes, so I need to keep things in perspective. Here's the plateau buster, hope it helps... Huggs to you, Sharon #1 - Do this for 10 days to break a plateau #2 - Drink 2 quarts of water a day #3 - You must have 45 grams of protein supplement and all your vitamins/minerals supplements each day #4 - You may consume up to 3 oz of the following high protein foods, 5x a day beef pork chicken turkey lamb fish eggs low fat cheese cottage cheese plain yogurt or artificially sweetened (?) peanut butter beans/legumes You may also have: sugar free popsicles tea or coffee sugar free soda sugar free jello broths/bullion (sp?) crystal light drinks #5 - If it's not on the list, you can't have it for 10 days!!!! #6 - Keep a food diary and try to get up to 30 mins of exercise daily

Hey Ladies, I also had a 2 week stall, I started adding protein drinks to my daily regimine and it worked - minus 5 lbs in 8 days. Try tracking your calories and protein. I wasn't eating enough, added 1 protein drink w/Carb Countdown in the evenings and it happened. It must be that time in our journey to face another stall. Best wishes, Dana

Dana...I'm going to try the protein drink. I know i'm not getting enough protein these days. i just hardly ever feel like eating. what kind of protein drink do you use. i know another person that had this surgery and she drinks something everyday that has like 50g of protein. i guess i should find out what that is too huh? thanks steph 350/330/191/165

Steph, I use the Protein Delite brand I get it from bariatriceating. The shipping is a little high but these are the only ones I like. These are the ones I've tried: Vanilla Very Berry, Tropical Blast, Banana Yogurt, Alpine Chocolate and Strawberry White Chocolate. My favorites are the Alpine Chocolate, Strawberry White Chocolate and Vanilla Very Berry. They all have little pieces in them (chocolate - choc pieces, strawberry w/c has strawberry, vanilla very berry - rasberrys, blue berries I think, banana - banana) They have like 25 grams of protein in them, add the carb countdown 8 grams protein and you get 33 in 1 a day. I've been told our bodies can't use more than 30-35 grams of protein at one time. I told someone on another board I'm on how the protein drinks worked for me -- she was on a 6 week plateau and she lost 6 lbs this week, she was happy. Hope it works for you. Dana

thank you thank you thank you Dana!! I'm going to look into those protein drinks right now.

thanks for the info...and a size 8!! you go! that's awesome...
