Breaking Through the Weight-Loss Plateau

JUDY GOFFI MS, RD, CDE, LD

Is it true that you can break through a weight-loss plateau by eating a low calorie diet?

Eating fewer than 800 to 1,000 calories a day is often recommended to shock your body into weight loss. Doing this will actually cause your body to turn down its thermostat to conserve every calorie it can get.

Your body doesn't know whether you're a prisoner of war suffering from starvation or a prisoner to some crazy dieting fad. The only way to break through a weight-loss plateau and burn more calories is to exercise.

When weight loss slows, walk a little longer or work out more frequently or intensely.

And don't forget to eat!
