Why did the scale go up?
|
The amount of weight you lose will fluctuate from week to week. Several situations
may change the number on the scale, such as the time of day you weigh yourself,
your menstrual cycle, not drinking enough water, whether or not you recently eliminated,
how quickly your body builds lean muscle (but don't worry, muscle weighs more than
fat but takes up less space in your body!) or how closely you are following the Nutrition Complete program.
Don't panic if the scale doesn't move for several days - or even goes up slightly.
If you stay on your program (and are consuming all of your meals), the scale will
eventually show results. Try to weigh yourself only once a week, at the same time
each week (the ideal time being immediately after you wake up).

What can I do about a weight loss plateau?
|
Plateaus can occur at different times for different people. They normally happen
because your body is attempting to hold on to its fat stores. It's as though your
body reshuffles its weight status while assessing whether it's ready to continue
losing, once it feels settled, your system will kick back in and allow your weight
to drop again.
If you experience a weight loss plateau, look for other indications of progress
such as wearing a smaller size of clothing. Weight loss should resume if you continue
to follow the program.
