Q:

Ok I know how you ladies feel about the scale and stuff, but I feel I have not bee changing for the past 2-3 weeks. I have incresed the cardio, and have cut carbs a bit. But still nothing, nathan, NADA!
The scale has not budged and i don’t see changes in my body. Suggestions?
A:  NO stress on the scale. That darn thing needs to be thrown out the window!! If you are sticking to a plan and being consistent things will all fall in place. Sometimes you are making changes but just don’t see them, especially on the scale! You fluctuate water, #1 and then when your body composition is changing you really are not going to lose too much weight because your muscle weighs more than fat. If you know you are doing everything right and following a plan, you really just have to have patience and believe it will happen and it will. Stressing out about it is not going to do anything but stunt your progress. The other thing you can do is give yourself a super high carb day and see if that picks up your metabolism. If your carbs are too low or calories are too low, you need a spike to get your metabolism up.. Maybe have a day of 200 clean grams of carbs and then go back to a moderate and low diet… Remember also, you want to be sure your calories are not too low, that makes your metabolism slow down. If you have only been on a diet for a short time, remember it takes time to get that metabolism revved up. Keep us posted and have patience! 🙂 My suggestion, lose the scale and use your favorite jeans or the mirror as a gauge. 🙂
