  • My best advice is to plan ahead (i.e. bring your own snacks).

    I’m on the road a lot lately. I pack up a small bag or cooler with cheese sticks, deli-cuts jerky, nuts, boiled eggs, avocado, protein shakes, sugar-free jello, fat-bombs (for times of fire indulgence)…Any combination of these is enough to make a meal or stave off hunger; otherwise, I follow the aforementioned restaurant advise of previous commenters.

    Hope this helps!



  • Kudos on your success so far, it’s a great feat and I hope you’re giving yourself the credit and pride you deserve.

    I’m actually in the same boat. I started in May, am pleased with the direction I’m headed, but am seemingly lost and frustrated when it comes to these plateaus.

    This post I just found in the wild has really helped remind me of what’s actually happening and how to deal with it logically. It is a marathon, not a sprint- I hope it’ll help you, too and that we both keep on keepin’ on with the wins!


  • Thank you for this. I find myself incredibly frustrated during plateaus despite knowing a lot of this, especially about water and keeping it “right and tight.”

    Seeing this post has really shaken me back into reality; I realize I can choose to take a logical (and healthier) approach, rather than forcing myself to go even more extreme.

    I’m aiming to lose a significant amount of weight and I remain concerned about the hit/toll the deficit is taking on my metabolism. What you write (and linked to) about returning to maintenance has helped solidify a solid and smart way of dealing. Much appreciated, thanks again.
