Comment on Fat 2 Fit #139 – Breaking Those Nasty Weight Loss Plateaus by adrian

adrian — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 22:45:20 +0000

In brief. How does one know when a plateau has been broken? You’ve mentioned eating increased calories over 6-8 week period, and expecting a weight gain in that time. My wife has gained 2 kilos over 2weeks. She was 76 kilos and dropped down to 64 kilos over 8 month period.has hit a plateau for several months. She realizes now after finding your show she had eaten too low amount of calories.1300 a day. She thought that 2 weeks would be long enough and is scared of regaining the weight. If you were to consistantly eat at the correct calories(1700)even if you had plateaued would your body not just adjust and eventually start losing the weight or do you have to break the plateau first? She is 42years and 5’2″. She loves your show here in oz and always tells others to listen. She is very frustrated at the moment. Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks Adrian and Genny

Hi Judy,
In a word, no. Whether a dish has x number of carbohydrates or x grams of protein is not the purpose of sharing a recipe. The purpose is to get those individuals that don’t think that “diet” food can taste good to change their thinking. But if you’d like to post that information on a comment or on the Facebook page I’m sure that many others would like that information.

Fantastic show! I’ve already listened to it twice. My plan is coming together, still evolving but your show changed my goals. I asked myself why isn’t 50 lbs in a year a good goal. 1lb a week doesn’t sound like much but it’s easily attainable. Thanks!!!

Hi Kitty,
No, the feed hasn’t changed. I’d like to tell you why it’s not working, but unfortunately cannot. I’d suggest unsubscribing and then re-subscribing. That may force the software to re-download the feed.

Thanks for your recent show. It was excellent as always. I have about another 5 pounds to go and I continually find your podcasts extremely motivational and educational. I registered for the 1 million kilo challenge not because I have a lot to lose, but I’m always looking for new recipes and info. As you say Jeff, you can always learn something new.

When I first got married I was at my best shape and looked nice. My husband is a bit shorter than I am and his mother was petite. His aunt commented when I met her at her door for the first time, “You’re tall.” My husband called me a “behemoth” and his mother bought me a size 14 (I was a size 8/9.) for a ‘present.’ They are all small Sicilians and I come from Irish/German + ? stock. After that I always felt subconscious about my weight and size. I think my mother-in-law gained weight when she was pregnant the first time and her new in laws made her feel the same way, too according to her. People!

Hey guys, just found your site. You’ve got a good podcast there – very positive. I will advise my friends about the issues regarding Vaser. Thanks for the advice. It does seem to be endorsed by a doctor. Goes to show that having a professional medical endorsement isn’t the be all and end all.

Thank you so much for emailing my friend Susan concerning her questions and her frustrations in reference to the NY Time Article, Fat Trap.

I published a blog with links to your podcast and site as well as the article. I was more than a little upset with such unfactual reporting and was equally impressed with the rebuttal that you presented. I love the balanced approach to sensible weight loss and maintenance. I have lost 100 pounds, finished my first marathon last year. It took me over 3 years to get to that place. it was slow but it has stayed off and it isnt a chore to stay on top of it.

I want others to know that the balanced approach that you promote is the way to go.

Love your show, keep up the well thought out podcasts!

Robert

Guys,

Great goal podcast. I am a “newer” listener and I know you may have covered it in earlier podcasts…BUT, you mentioned that you are almost “obsessed” about freezing lunches ahead of time. I would love to know what you are freezing?

As someone who has lost 100 lbs over the past year I have about 30 more to go, and I am struggling with these last lbs. because I need to re-vamp my nutrition and of course workout intensity. But any new little ideas would be great as far as my nutrition goes. Basically, what are you freezing? THANK YOU! – David Hunt

Happy New Year! I want to thank you for this show. I’ve been listening to your show for about a year, and I’ve heard you tell us to do the “I must complete my weight loss and fitness goals because if I don’t…” exercise in the past, but I never actually paused the show to do it. I always figured I had enough motivation already.

Last year, I trained and completed my first half marathon, but only lost – and kept off – about 6 lbs. This year, still at 5’3 and about 168 lbs, I am “upping” my weight loss and fitness goals. At your urging, I paused the show for about 20 minutes after you told us to do this exercise again, and I wrote down my 5 personal reasons. I always knew these reasons in my head, but something about seeing it written down made me realize how vitally important it is for me to succeed this year. Writing down that “I must complete my weight loss and fitness goals because if I don’t, I will forever feel like a failure when I look at my (future) wedding photos” is much more powerful than “I need to lose weight for my wedding.” Now when the cravings for pizza or fries inevitably strike, I can visualize the shame I will feel in August if I fail again.

I have eight months to reach my goal weight of 135 lbs, and I know I *have* to and *will* do it this year and keep it off. I have a personal training schedule, a running routine, and specific food plans. No excuses! Thank you so much for this wonderful podcast. I always look forward to listening to your new shows!

Nice to see you guys back again. You were the ones who got me started and my wife and I are both down 20lbs since July.

When you were off for a few months I listened to a podcast by licensed nutritionists out of my home state MN. They recommended everyone should get tested for Vit. D. My wife tested quite low in that.

A deficiency in Vit. D leads to
Increased appetite
Increased risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease and many other problems. It is a real problem for us up in the northern climates.

They also recommend taking magnesium and fish oil too as they are hard to get from food and are very beneficial.

LR — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:32:30 +0000

Hello guys,

Thanks for your show…love it! A little background…I’m 41 year old mother of two, work and go to school. Ten years ago I weighed 380 pounds, had a gastric bypass, went down to 185 lbs then back up to 225 down the line. I suffered from chronic headaches/migraines (everyday) since about the 3rd grade. At the time of the weight loss it seemed my migraines were worsening. The doctors put me on meds like anti-seizure or anti-depressants which as you know increase your appetite. Anyway, in August 2010, a therapist told me that there was something I was doing everyday that was giving me the headaches and migraines. I began thinking; What was I doing everyday since the 3rd grade that could be causing the migraines?” It was like a lightbulb went off in my head.
I decided that I would start making changes in what I was eating. I believe I was influenced by a colleague who was eating a lot of organic foods; so I jumped on the bandwagon. So long story short, I began eating as organic as possible, I stopped drinking soda and juice, did not eat any fried foods or simple carbs and it made the world of difference. I had the last migrain in January 2011 and I’ve lost 52 lbs to date. See, when I had the gastric bypass I had gotten desperate and had the surgery. I lost the weight because I was eating less but never learned how to eat healthier. If I knew then what I know now I would have never had the surgery. I now weigh 173lbs and I’m 5’6.5″ tall and I’m trying to go down to 160. Here’s my question: how many calories should a person who’s had this surgery should be eating? I’ve hit a plateau, have not budged in about 2 months. I exercise about an hour a day 5-6 times a week. I was eating about 1500 calories then thought maybe that’s too low and went up to 1700 still have not budged. According to your BMR calculator I should be eating about 2280 calories. I am concerned because I tried eating that much and went back up to 179. I do strength training, and lots of cardio, kickboxing, walking and running. Help!!!

Hey guys! Just wanted to thank you for such a great and motivating podcast. I got married about a month and a half ago and in the two months prior to the wedding I gained about 10-15 lbs of stress weight. At 5’2″, that was enough to add 2 dress sizes to my frame and I was afraid I wouldn’t fit in my wedding dress! There were so many demands on my time for the wedding that I stopped running and started eating fast food for the first time in years. I don’t even like fast food, but it was so much easier than making a meal at home. On top of the weight gain, I started getting migraines again, and when I didn’t have a migraine I still had a headache. Well, the wedding has passed now and my stress is gone but I was left with that extra weight. You guys have been giving me the motivation to get back to my fit and healthy pre-marriage lifestyle. I’m back to running and I’ve slowly been swapping out all the processed food in our home for healthier stuff. I’ve got a few more lbs to go to fit in all my clothes again, but the real relief has been feeling healthy and not having headaches again. Thank you so much for your straightforward advice!

I’m glad that you guys are back!

Just wanna let you guys know that there really is a non-invasive fat busting procedure called “Liposonix”. It’s not FDA approved yet, but it is approved and used in Canada for several years. It uses sound wave to destroy under-skin fat cells permanently. Of course, there’s a catch. The procedure cost an average of $5000. Candidates must have at least 1″ of fat under the skin at the area of treatment. It takes 6-8 weeks to see results. The average result is only 1″-1.5″ reduction. The sound wave destroys the fat cells but the fat is still in the body, so one still has to work off those fat. There is also a long term problem. These fat cells will never grow back, so when one is to gain weight in the future, fat tends to accumulate around the heart increasing one’s chances of heart attack. The procedure is non-invasive but not painless, some even say it’s very painful. It is afterall destroying cells.

There is another similar procedure that is FDA approved, using cold to freeze off and destroy fat cells. It is not avaliable in Canada. I’m not familiar with the details. These procedures are done by licensed dermatologists or cosmetic surgeons under several weeks of consultations. It’s definitely not something you can get from a spa with your Groupon.

These are not for me, they are not worth the pain and money. But I’m glad that they are avaliable. Depending on the individual, the health risk might be worth taking if it bothers you so much that it affects your quality of life.

Everything in moderation Janine. Saying you’re not going to eat desserts is setting you up for failure. If you end up having one, you’ve “blown your diet”.

Comment on Fat 2 Fit #130 – Combatting Weight Creep by Janine

Janine — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 08:38:07 +0000

I love the show but what I don’t get is the having recipes for sweet things like desserts. Are people really thinking they can indulge even moderately in eating desserts when their caloric restriction is so high? I have put them right out of my mind on my weight loss journey and unless I really get a craving and am having a bad day – yes, it does happen occasionally but it’s generally only one or two mouthfuls never a pig-out. I just prefer to eat REAL and satisfying food to fill me up and not entertain the idea of dessert.

That cauliflower recipe is a must-try – many thanks. I’m in a weight loss plateau and am looking for as many tasty “fibrous non-starchy low-carb vegetable” recipes as I can find to jazz them up. Steamed vegetables and fish – yuck, am over that ! Also, I want to try carb-cycling so need to eat more of those fibrous non-starchy vegetables. Seasonally it can be somewhat limited in the cooler months. Thanks again, love the show !

Hi there! I LOVE listening to your podcasts!!!

I listen to you guys every morning and evening as i am getting ready for bed. As i was listening one morning before work, you guys had discussed something about going to the gym, and why it is bad to start going for a few weeks, then stop for a period of time, then go back for a few weeks because it holds on to body fat, or makes you store more fat, or something? I REALLY want to listen to that podcast and i didn’t get a chance to look at what podcast # it was because i had to run out the door.

Can you please tell me what podcast it was, and maybe better explain it?

You guys are AMAZING! Thanks for everything!

Jeff & Russ,

Longtime listener, first time commenter.
Here is a question that I need both of you to answer!!
As a 49 year old female I now realize that I need to add more calorie burning exercise to my routine, and, Russ, given past comments you have made about kettle balls……..and how did that work out as a fortieth birthday present?.. I looked for and found kettle balls at our local sports resale shop. With DVDs (someone else’s infomercial purchase I got for 75% less ! ). So, how many calories can I record for a twenty minute kettle ball workout, and Jeff, what about this web md article? Fact or hype?
Sorry, on my new iPad and I do not know how to copy and past the link…..web md kettle ball calories.

Love your show!!!

Russ, you should check out your local CrossFit gym. It will fulfill EVERYTHING you said you missed about your workouts. Your workout will be constantly varied (per Jeffs “You need to mix it up”), and you’ll get to do Squats, burpees, use kettle bells and barbells and I promise you, no ‘long, slow’ cardio.

Check out the on-ramp course at CrossFit Longbeach [http://www.crossfitlongbeach.com/]. I promise you, it will change your approach to the fitness aspect of your health and fitness.

I’ve lost significant weight(260 down to 185)with CrossFit and am at the point where I want to put on some serious muscle (similar to your situation), and I know it is within my ability to do it following a Crossfit protocol.

Comment on Fat 2 Fit #128 – Gain Muscle & Lose Fat by Rob

Hi there,

I am 5 ft 8 inches male of Indian descent. My current weight is 224 lb.. In summer of 2009, i was diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome ( High Blood sugar, large amount of fat around belly and of course weight of 262 lb.). Ever since, i am trying to loose weight and it keeps on going up and down. I joined a gym last year to help me loose it. I would like to discuss my history with you in detail but, for now i have a quick question regarding my diet.

I have read a book on glycemic index and just finished reading a book on glycemic load. I was happy that i was following a low glycemic index diet but, glycemic load part totally confused me about the daily carb intake. I banged my right knee and couldn’t go to the gym since february. At the same time i started having Alton Brown’s famous Buff smoothies for breakfast. I bought a blender and i stocked on frozen fruit.
Also for second meal, i started having steam in the bag vege combos with a slice of wheat bread or a packed supermarket salad. I just lost almost 14 lbs without doing any hard exercise since February. It is very encouraging. I work in retail and have to stand 6-7 hrs a day.

My question for you- I feel hungry after about 2-3 hrs of having my breakfast smoothie. I checked it’s carb contents on spark recipes and it is around 90 grams. Is it normal for me to continue having it, even though it probably has high glycemic load and promotes glucose shock in the body? Glucose shock and lack of exercise are the root causes of metabolic syndrome. Another thought- since, i am blending all of the fruit rather it eating it raw; i am actually processing it and thus increasing it’s glycemic index as well.

Looking forward to advice. thanks.

The article on “the new weight loss virus” misrepresented the actual research, which I’m surprised you didn’t read. I do have the advantage of a degree in biology, so when you described the study I knew there had to be more to the story.
The virus tested on rats was an artificially constructed adeno-associated virus which is designed to interfere with a naturally occurring protein in the body. The idea was to study the action of the naturally occurring protein by blocking its action, not to come up with a “new weight loss virus”.
AAV’s are commonly used to introduce genes in scientific research, and are even a possible candidate for gene therapy because they do not cause any known disease.
I love your podcasts because they are generally well researched, please see the following paper in Pubmed:
“Knockdown of NPY Expression in the Dorsomedial Hypothalamus Promotes Development of Brown Adipocytes and Prevents Diet-Induced Obesity”

Digesting your own muscle is a survival mechanism to slow a person’s metabolism. Remaining body fat is then able to sustain people longer before starvation and death.

I suspect that starvation studies are unethical, but there is no shortage of evidence from many natural disasters/wars. When I was in University 20 years ago, our textbooks used pictures from Auschwitz survivors to show muscle cannibalization.

Where is the proof that going below your BMR causes your body to take it’s needed calories from muscle rather than fat, even if fat is available? I was hoping to find this in the video but she just states it as a fact.

It’s so encouraging to listen to the ups and downs of real people on the quest for health and fitness. Kudos to you! I have a question though- I am derailed from my fitness quest regularly by chips and chocolate. How do you overcome the cravings for nutrition stealing sweet and salty foods? It seems to be a pervasive problem with my female friends especially. How do you keep from succumbing to the screaming call of that bag of chips? Thanks for everything- and keep up the good work!

His latest ventures into woo-woo and unfounded strategies is just sad at best and dangerous at worst. I have very much enjoyed your sound advice and information all along.

I was a huge Susan Powter devotee!!!! I avoided fat like the plague. But I would boil a giant plate of potatoes and cover it with Butter Buds. No wonder I didn’t lose any weight. Thank goodness I figured out that diets aren’t the answer, exercise and clean eating are.
I also grew up in a house with a constantly dieting mom. Remember Figurine Diet Bars? Loved them when I was a kid. I would ask my mom for one whenever she had one for lunch or a snack. I didn’t want candy bars, I wanted a Figurine Bar. Nuts, I know.

You mention Richard Simmons. His book helped me lose weight when I was 15, and I’ll always feel a sense of indebtedness to him for that. His understanding of nutrition and exercise wasn’t perfect, but, honestly, he was the only semi-rational voice around at the time. He’s helped a lot of people, so let’s give praise where due.

If there’s one weakness–and I believe my current weight loss struggle illustrates this–, it’s that Simmons doesn’t emphasize the need for lean muscle and eating to one’s ideal BMR.

Great podcast, as always! Thanks so much, guys.

Congrats Russ… I’ve been listening to the podcast for a long while. I tell anyone who’s interested in losing weight to listen and get on the program. About 4 months ago I took up running to eliminate the last 20 pounds… lost 45 over three years ago and have kept it off. My question – as my body becomes more efficient at running, will I burn fewer calories? I’ve been using the 100 calories per mile, but the scale’s keeps fluctuating up and down around the same number.

Hi everybody! (Or is everybody on the Facebook page?)

When should I start considering plateau-breaking strategies? After two weeks of no weight loss? A month? In other words, when is a plateau really a plateau and not just a lack of patience on my part?

I realize there’s likely no definite time frame, I’m just looking for a ballpark guideline for when it’s time to consider raising my calories to my maintenance level for a while to break out.

I’m going to listen to show #45 again but I don’t remember if it specifically mentioned *when* you should start considering plateau-breaking strategies.

Thanks!
Jon
