Re: 8 months out and sitting on a 2 1/2 month plateau

[Guest guest]

Hi Beth, I am just over 6 months out and was on a plateau for about 3

weeks, then i got sick with strep(sp) throat, broke my plateau, but

what I remember is I was eating yogurt, soup and soft foods for about

4 days...lost 6 pounds in those 4 days...i of course prefer not to

eat like that because it wasn't very high in protein, but it was what

i could handle for those four days. After that I cut out all carbs

(except for one fruit a day), focused on protein and veggies. I have

to have one piece of fruit(for the sake of regularity)...and when i

say that i cut out carbs(i mean crakers)...i usually have a few

crackers everyday at mid day...so far i have seen results...i think

that i just needed to change up my menu a little...good luck!
