I was really losing weight now I can't seem to budge!

Plateaus: 5 reasons I can think of:

1. Not enough water. Many times when people hit a plateau they have slacked off on their water. Half your body weight in ounces of water each day.

2. Not enough food. If you don’t eat enough veggies your metabolism will slow down. It is good to change it up every other day or every two days, eat less on one day and then way more on another day (veggies that is). Then your body doesn’t think you are in a famine.

3. Exercise. When your body has eliminated all the inflammation and fat that are related to toxicity your weight loss will slow way down. You are at the perfect time to exercise. Choose something that will make you sweat for an hour or so after you are finished. Intervals work great because they help to stimulate your metabolism. Check out this website, www.thetruthaboutabs.com Don’t buy their stuff, you get lots of free info that is really good. We agree with most of what he teaches although he does encourage people to use dairy products and eat peanut butter and we are very much against both of those items as food.

4. Grains and caffeine. Adding those two back in can really mess up your pancreas, cause you to excrete too much insulin which causes your body to create belly fat.

5. Stress. Stress is the biggest cause of weight gain, due to cortisol excretion and the fact that your body thinks you are going to die and holds on to fat to see you through.

Getting adjusted and taking those supplements will also help to get your body in a place where it can heal and release the fat you don’t want.
