Plateau buster....

i wish i knew why the weight shifts but i guess that's probably normal for anyone. my former boss had the surgery 3+ years ago and she said that after the first year you'll see all kinds of changes in your body....whether you lose, gain, or maintain. which i have seen a difference in the boob area...they're coming up and they don't look like tube socks with an 8 ball in the end...that's what my husband said they looked like! !

That is too funny. Tube socks with an 8 ball in the end. My friend used to say she went from a D to a D Long. Melissa

LOL, that's funny! I've noticed mine aren't as bad anymore either, but I thought maybe it was just due to PMS, LOL! Maybe there is hope still! I consider having a breast lift/implants almost every day, but I hate surgery and don't really want to go thru another one. Who knows, maybe someday I'll get the nerve to do it! Tracy

What is the Plateau Buster and where can I find out how to do it? Lisa

this is what i've been doing...... #1 - Do this for 10 days #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

This one is good. I started on it and lost 3.5 in a week as I also increased my exercise. So, I know it works.

No veggies on this plateau buster? Just wondering. I came back here today after a long absence, and found just what I was looking for right away. So glad this was posted here today. I'm ready to start it! Thanks for posting, and congrats on the success. I need to get some weight back off and needed this help today. Carlita

nope no fruits or veggies...it's hard for me to stay away from my bananas but i have noticed that i haven't had any low blood sugar episodes either since doing this diet. i'm going to continue with this plan it's been 10 days and i've lost 5 pounds and then it stopped but my clothes feel better and my belly isn't so bloated anymore from all the carbs. i do allow myself to "splurge" a little on saturday when i'm out with my mom but that's still not much. a taste of bread or a piece of chocolate. i hope it works for you.

Thank you Stephanie. This is really a lot like Atkins, which I did way before WLS, for about a month. It was best when the carbs were really low, as this would be, although Atkins does allow 3 cups of salad greens per day. I lost about 18 pounds in no time when I tried it. I got sidetracked when I started adding back the carbs. But boy, it's hard to give them up, isn't it? Thanks, again, and continued best wishes. Carlita

I know everyone has thier own version of the Plateau Buster diet... what is yours? I think I need to try one out - I have been on a plateau for 2 months.
