Stall Question

What can I do to break my stall? I added exercise and upped protein and water but I am still stuck. And I am stuck at a most frustrating place...201 just above onderland!!! Please let me know what I can do to break this!

Give yourself a carb blow out day to increase glycogen reserves, then go back to low carb, and drink a lot of water.

 Can you explain a carb blow out day?  I too am at a stall for the past 6 weeks...ughh!

Sure. Have a day where you eat naughty stuff. Eat high carb - breads, a donut, etc. Don't overdo sugar, especially if you're an RNY and prone to dumping syndrome.  The trick is to make the body think that the fasting is over and it can let go of the water that it's holding, which is causing you to think you're stalling.

Another way to do it is a high calorie, high fat day. I did that. I made sugar free pudding using cream, and ate it all over the course of a day. I had been on a 6 week stall and right after that I started losing again.

surprisingly enough..this works for me.. when im in a stall/losing very slowly...i increase my calories for a few days and voila... a week later and im losing well : )

A old trick from an old timer...Hard physical work.  For some reason that would release the weight like nothing else.  Cleaning the car, working the garden, cleaning places you haven't touched for in years.  I really don't know why, but that one would break the stalls like nothing else...  Brian
