Tagged As: south beach diet weight loss

Question:
Anybody experience a situation where you stopped loosing weight after about 4 or 5 days on the South Beach diet? Lost a lot in the beginning and then leveled off. Been holding steady for 4 or 5 days now. Not gaining, but not loosing. Do you go down in steps in south beach diet weight loss ?

Answer:
You're weighing daily? That's your problem right there. Don't. Just get the bleep off the scale. If you attempt to step on the scale daily it's possible you are attempting to convince yourself that the time scale for fat loss is day to day. It isn't. The time scale for fat loss is month to month. By stepping on the scale daily, you're getting static and you're trying to draw conclusions from that static. Stop the insanity by only weighing weekly to check for problems with the expectation that you'll lose in bursts that even out when averaged to a monthly time scale.
