I was told (and it makes sense to me) that to break a plateau you need to eat something completely off your diet. Like for you, Alffe, it would be something high in carbs. Apparently, this sort of jolts your body back into the weight loss mode. I've tried it and it does seem to work. If I hit a period of time where I just can't seem to lose no matter what I'll go to Burger King or Zaxby's and have a really "bad" meal (but it's sooooo good!!) and then right back on my diet. Within a few days I'm back to losing again. I guess the trick is to just do this once in a while. A greasy cheeseburger sure is good, though!
