Hi everyone so I’m about 6 months post op and I’m hitting a stall on weight loss even tho I’m exercising and eating right. Any tips on how to lose more?

This is not specific to stalls but here is the same advice i give everyone that asks

1. Hydrate - make sure you are hitting your water target

2. track your food - use an app to track every thing you eat so know exactly what your macro's are.

3. no added sugar - no fruits if your stalled

4. no simple carbs

5. complex carbs from your veggies

6. hit your protein target - this number changes as you lose weight.

7. No snacks after dinner

Lastly i use a simple version of intermittent fasting - this just means i dont eat any calories after dinner till next meal the next day. This can be as short as 12 hrs when you start, something like 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.

If you can go longer by eating dinner a little early or breakfast a little late then thats even better.

this gives your body time to burn stored fat instead of a steady supply of new food every few hours.

good luck

Those darn stalls ? I think I’m on my 4th since surgery (5/5/2017). This can be frustrating. Allwet has really covered it all (good job). Perhaps changing up your exercise too might work. Keep your head up.. your still doing awesome ?

Try exeeding your water goals by an additional 24-36 oz . Sometimes the minimum of 64-80 oz just is not enough.
