This was on another board: How to break a plateau #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 In addition to the Plateau Buster, change your exercise plan as well. Such as if you are walking, join Curves, if you are a Curves member, do walking on days that you don't do Curves. If you are a member of Curves, join a gym or buy free weights and alternate between Curves and the gym or free weights for 5 days a week.

Hi, Nancy! I am on that diet now. --Except I continued through the 10 days! I started January 1, 2006. I have lost 9 pounds since the 1st!! Keep in mind that I haven't lost any weight in the last 4-5 months. All of a sudden I focus on my protein and drink lots of water, and I drop 9 pounds!! When the 10 days were up, I felt so great that I didn't want to go back. I have always been told that protein will give you energy. It is so true!! I feel like I have been on speed these last 2 weeks. I even wake up before my alarm goes off in the morning. I also walk at least 30 minutes every day. I used to could only do it 3-4 days because I couldn't get up out of bed. Now...... I am a big burst of energy and I can't slow down!!!!!!!!!!!!! You really need to try it. 348/207/167 (40 more pounds to go!)
