LETS BUST THE PLATEAU!!!
Ok we have all been complaining and asking and comparing notes and we have all decided we have definatley slowed down and have hit a wall some of us. I would like to start an official Plateau group.
I say let's start ASAP. I am going to start mine tomorrow. Join in and start yours as soon as you can. It is a very simple diet we shouldn't have any excuses about needing to shop for the diet because we all have this stuff in our homes. So, join me in Busting out of this and getting back to the basics of weight loss before our weight loss window is over! Maybe if we are acountable to one another it will get us motivated. Or maybe if one of us tries it and posts our results it will motivate others. If anyone has already tried this and found it useful please let us know.
I would also like to point out that sleep is a crucial componant in the not over eating fact of life. IF our body does not get the sleep it needs to recuperate and gain more energy it will compensate for the engery loss with food. So get adequate sleep! Good luck
Here is the diet.
