The Weight Loss Plateau

"For years, I have suffered from severe gastrointestinal pain, usually soon after eating. Antacids and other similar aids did not help. Basically, I've just endured it all these years. When I downloaded your report "Pain Free In One Day," I did it just out of curiosity to see what it said. Frankly, it sounded too simple to really do as you claimed, but I decided I had nothing to lose by giving it a try - so I did. I was amazed that after breakfast I did not have my usual pains. I thought those pains would show up eventually, but they did not. Same thing happened after lunch - no pain! And no pain after dinner either. I thought you said I'd be pain-free in one day. Well it did not take a day for me! My pain never happened right from the start. I think you should just simply call your report, "Pain-Free." Ray Saunders

The Weight Loss Plateau

So, you were overweight and decided to change your life and start dieting. You may have purchased some type of diet plan or read a book, whatever. You were committed and you began your program and it was working beautifully for a while and it was coming off pretty fast. Faster than you thought it would. You were happy, elated and things were going right for you. You were committed to the program and you were continuously losing about 1-2 pounds of body fat every week. Then suddenly, out of the blue, after a month or two, you noticed that the pounds you were losing are getting less and less and eventually the entire weight loss thing grounds to a halt. "What has happened?", you wonder in total frustration. "I've done everything right and now all the work seems to do nothing further. "Am I destined to never lose more than this?" Au contraire, mon ami. You see, this common but much dreadfully anticipated phenomenon is known as the "Weight Loss Plateau" and we're going to explain how it works and how you are going to get through it and lose some more weight.

The first thing that you need to realize, of course, is that you've come face-to-face with the weight loss a plateau and the answer to this problem is really quite simple. What is essential that you understand is that, in order for weight loss to occur, it's necessary for you to consume less calories than your body burns for energy. Therefore, if your weight seems to be stuck and you had been very effective with your program before this, this means that one of two things is occurring. (1) You are longer on calories and short on energy burning, even though you may still be eating the same thing and in the same quantities as you were when you began the diet program. (2) You've got a very slow and stopped up colon and you may even have some parasites working in there.

Here's one way to tell which is probably the problem: If you are exercising vigorously and you're weight was dropping pretty significantly and have been diligent in your calories consumed and then the weight loss slowly came to a halt, the former is most likely your problem. If, however, you were somewhat obese to begin with, have not been eating properly for a long, long time and may have some difficulty with bowel movements, either constipation or lots of loose and watery stools,…and you are not accompanying your diet with exercise, the second alternative is a distinct possibility. The good news is that both can be dealt with effectively.

Problem 1: The Decreased Metabolism/Calorie Deficit

Most diets require you to cut way back on your calorie intake. If you're going to lose weight fast, this is mandatory. Sometimes people who are in a hurry to lose weight cut their calorie count back too far. When this occurs, your body adapts to this severe change by decreasing your metabolic rate. This causes what is sometimes known as "starvation mode." It is also known, medically, as "adaptive thermogenesis".

Because your body is wise for itself, the signals that it gets due to a low calorie count, it is fooled by this change and believes that you are starving. This is a natural survival instinct. The idea is for your body to now start conserving as much fat as it can in order to keep you alive. Correcting this problem is simply a matter of your tweaking your diet. This will cause the body to get out of this phase by providing the needed essential nutrients that it requires to maintain a healthy balance.

As I'm sure you noticed, as you lose weight, your body is naturally getting smaller and smaller. As this happens, you don't require as many calories to keep your metabolism working at optimum. So, you are not going to need to consume as many calories as you were when you were a larger person. So you see you are now consuming more calories than you are burning.

Since you are much lighter now and your body mass is smaller, your body has a tendency to burn fewer calories when you move about or are doing your daily exercises. Again, you simply need to make some adjustments in your eating and exercise routines to balance out the difference.

Problem 2: Plaque Build-up

The colon is subjected to toxins and poisons everyday, from a number of sources. For example, fats that store toxins are released to be used by the body, foods that we eat are laden with toxins and hormones, poisons, etc. The body does what it can to rid itself of these pollutants; however, the toxins that remain are coated by thick mucous coverings in order to insulate the body from the toxins. Over time, these mucous coverings turn into what is known as "plaque" and they stick to the sides of the colon. Many of these plaques are the reason for colon cancer. The best way to rid the body of these toxins and plaques is to perform a colonic cleansing with an agent that is both healthy and effective. When colonic cleansing is accomplished appropriately and timely, the results are amazing for breaking the "Weight Loss Plateau."

You hear quite a few people complain about how difficult it is to shed those last several pounts but, in reality, it's not very difficult at all once you understand why the weight loss plateau is occurring. The answer is simply that you are no longer in a state of caloric deficit. Both problem 1 and problem 2 are easily resolved.

So how, specifically does one get out of this weight loss plateau? Well, why don't you start out by just giving your body a break for a week or two? Just quit the program for a while. This is also to essentially allow your body to have a physiological break from the stress of dieting and exercising. This is a restart for your metabolism and an adjustment period for your body. It allows some of the starvation hormones to start stimulating your metabolism, so when you get back to the state of calorie deficit, after your much needed break, your body will again be responsive to your efforts. Before starting, try the colonic cleansing.

Fast Weight Loss Techniques Are Not Always Effective

Let's get something straight so you'll know why we're here in the first place. The sad truth is that fast weight loss techniques, that you read about and hear about all the time, are not always effective. That's right. Many of them do not provide the results that they promise. Fast weight loss is, to be fair, a relative term. "Relative to what?", you ask. Well, relative to what you consider "fast." Is your weight reduction goal one week or one month? Is it 10 pounds or 100 or more pounds?

You see, unfortunately, most people don't want to hear the truth and they'll fall for an advertisement claiming that they can lose 10 pounds a week when, in reality, that kind of weight loss can be very dangerous and unhealthy. Most people don't seem to want to know the truth about fast weight loss and they'd rather go on believing that there is a way to lose weight ridiculously fast enough that they'll be able to shed those 30 pounds in two weeks. Then, unfortunately, they are very disappointed and frustrated when the truth sets in and the highly marketed diet plan that they bought into turns out to be an exaggeration.

We Know What You're Going Through

That's why we, at Repair My Weight loss, are here. We want you to know the truth despite what others are trying to get you to believe. We're certainly not saying that diets don't work. We know that diets work but we also know that they're never a walk in the park. Diets take hard and often frustrating work. Most people give up on a diet just as the diet is about to show results. We know because the staff at Repair My Weight Loss has experienced most of those diets right along with you. We've suffered through the seemingly starvation type diets, the low carb diets, the low fat diets...just about every one of them. We understand what you are going through and we want to help you.

Fast weight loss diets are, for the most part, unreal. There are a few fast weight loss diets that actually work initially but after you've lost the first few pounds rather rapidly, they stall out. There's a reason for that.

Other proclaimed fast weight reduction diets don't even come close to their claims. Then there are those that are highly effective if you can stand to stay on them for any amount of time. No matter which diet you use, believe in or want to try, we've found that one thing always seems to make the initial phase of any diet work much more effectively.

Cleansing

The cleansing of the colon by certain methods seems to allow the body to move into diets a bit more easily. The initial shock of any type of diet to the body is tolerated more readily if the colon is cleansed appropriately first. Does this mean you have to experience some form of diarrhea for a week or something nasty like that? No, not at all. Some forms of colon cleansing don't have much to do with bowel movements but rather what you put into the body over a certain period of time.

We don't condone or sponsor ANY specific colon cleansing product here at RMWL, but we do promote, strongly, the use of some type of colon cleanser either with or without a diet. Why? Because your health starts in your colon and that's the orgination of most diseases. This is a private thing. No one has to know that you practice colon cleansing. Just don't tell them but, for your own sake, DO practice it. Here is a great site for learning more about colon cleansing.

We have lots of information for you to go through at this website and we'll be adding new information fairly frequently. A lot of our pages have more than one subject in them. Read the entire page before moving on or you might miss some important information. Our goal is to help you understand what's out there and how it works before you decide whether or not to use a specific kind of diet. Regardless of which diet plan you choose, you should be able to find good information about it before taking the plunge. Stick with us and see if maybe we can help you get through this difficult time. You'll thank us for it in the long run.
