Am I stalling because I'm not getting enough protein?

Could be, i increased my protein and i can tell a huge differnce

I've seen this link on here before: http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/carmelita/blog/tag/stalls+and+plateaus/

I'm not saying that protein can cause a stall but I upped my protein to 60+ grams a day about a week ago and in that time I've lost 3 lbs. I was probably getting about 20-40g before I upped it. I now drink 2 shakes a day and that gets me up to 66g of protein and then I continue to eat protein during the day, so I probably end up around 80g. The only downside is constipation and I've been taking about 2-3 colace a day and drinking lots of water. My cravings have also disappeared once I upped my protein. I drink isopure and it's 50g of protein for 2 scoops and only 2g of carbs

I think I need to up my protein also.. I feel like I'm in a stall..ugghhhh

I broke out of my most recent stall by increasing the intensity of my exercise.

I guess they are going to happen from time to time no matter what.

I really wish there was a magic bullet that would always work.

Thanks for the replies, I think I'm gonna increase both exercise & protein.
