I think I'm experiencing the week three stall. I've gained and lost
the same 1lb since about Jan 22.I had a tooth pulled on monday, so I've been eating nothing but broth,
jello light and atkins shakes due to this and still no change. My
carbs are around 8-9 and I haen't gone over 600 calories the past
couple days. I usually have between 1200-1500 calories, once in a
while having up to 1700.I haven't introduced any new foods and can't identify anything I'm
doing differently.Should I just tough it out or are there some suggestions?
Just wait it out. Since you referred to it as THE week three stall, it
sounds like you already know that it is very common and, in fact,
EXPECTED for weight loss to slow down significantly or even stop
temporarily, because the loss during the first two weeks is mostly water
and, thus, more dramatic. Also, the body tends to pause and readjust
sometimes. I've gone for periods of time with no weight loss, but with
DEFINITE reshaping. Even if you eat low carb/low fat/low-cal for a few
days, the effect of that might not be apparent for a week or more. Stay
the course and focus on the future rewards.
I hope you're feeling better soon!
