Well, in the DS-world, some folk eat grease: Krispy Kreme doughnuts,

for example. At other times, folk eat more, especially protein

shakes, or they change their eating styles with the theory that a

change helps to break a plateau.

But, I am convinced that none of this stuff really does it. When my

body is ready to give up a few more pounds, it lets go, and when it

wants to hold on, no amount of exercise, dieting or special food

ingestion seems to work. In the three weeks following my recent PS,

I lost 10 pounds. Then, I plateaued for about 5 weeks. Then,

another 5-lb. loss, with no apparent pattern to eating or exercise.

Now, I seem to have plateaued once again, even though I am resuming

more vigorous exercise (doc said that I can start lifting weights

again). Such is life.

Well, I do believe this is truly a case of each individual is different. For

me, it is changing my eating style that works. My body seems to become

comfortable at whatever I'm doing at the time, and just loves to stay there

probably forever, or even gain. If I make a drastic change suddenly, it does

seem to shock it into a loss, at least temporarily. I'm happy it does that

because I can " tip the scales " in my favor when I need to. Now, the great

fear, of course, is that this will change one day, and nothing I do and no

amount of dieting will make me lose those few pounds that inevitably show up.
