[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1719623, member: 245335"] The weight loss plateau is very common among most dieters. It can be the point at which a lot of people will pack it in. I used to follow Tesco diets many years ago, and this plateau was a constant discussion point. It would seem that it could last for several weeks but there were lots of different experiences. There were several approaches to kick start weight loss again including "riding it out", 24 hrs fasts (care needed if nursing obviously). Also as most diets are to take one's BMR and subtract 500 calories. increasing calorie input by up to 500 calories for a few days and then returning to the diet was also tried. These all seemed successful to a certain extent, but I seemed to remember that "riding it out" and not giving up was what was recommended by the Tesco Diet advisors (trained dieticians). I'm struggling with a plateau at the moment, having started a VLCD Jan 1st, losing 7kgs and then nothing since mid February. I've tried a week of eating more "normally" and start the VLCD again tomorrow. The one benefit for me is that my BG is much better and I've been able to tolerate just a bit of carb in the form of a few slices of Hovis low carb bread (Sunday treat). [/QUOTE]
