In reading historical posts, people talk about stalls. I don't doubt
I will hit one sometime, though right now I seem to be doing okay!
My question is - when do you begin to stall? TOM? Increasing carbs
to what level? Percentage of body fat?
When you do stall, how do you get the stall unstalled?
Not everyone stalls, assuming they keep dieting and truly stay within
calorie restriction.
Some people might quit losing for a while, but that isn't so much a stall
but rather not trying hard enough. And sometimes it takes a while to
realise that its time to eat less.
Not seeing a loss during your TOM is not a stall - you could still be in fat
loss mode but just not see it on the scale. Increasing carbs doesn't have
to mean a stall either, if you keep restricting calories. Again, because of
holding water weight you may not see an immediate change on the scale, but
that doesn't mean that fat isn't being lost.
It is probably more productive to not begin to think negatively by expecting
a stall. If your rate of loss slows, you may have to increase exercise or
eat less, or both. A good reason to weigh daily, IMO (assuming you aren't
the type to freak over every little bimp on the scale).
