[LBF 2.0] Day 6: Whooshes and Stalls

Michel,

One week completed.

Now you have a decision to make.

Do you move onto the next level of exercise, or stay where you are.

If this week was tough but you managed to complete all three workouts, then move up.

If you only managed to get halfway, or found it too tough, then stay on week 1.

Don't think of this as a race, its not about getting to the end fastest.

Its about working with your body, not against it.

Before we get into whooshes and stalls, I have a big favor to ask.

I am trying improve this course, for that i need you!

There are just a few questions and it will take less than three minutes.

Your help is greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance, you rock!

==================
Whooshes and Stalls
==================

At this point you may be tempted to go weigh yourself.

Just to see whats happened...

You may have lost weight,

perhaps stayed the same?

and if you are like me you might have gained weight!

There is nothing quite as depressing as having put in a weeks worth of effort...

Tough workouts pouring sweat...

Perfectly measured and controlled meals...

And to stand there in my pajamas... on a cold dark Tuesday morning...staring disbelievingly at my evil scale... as it tells me that i had put on two kilograms!

All hope is lost

However...

Now is not a good time to be making decisions as to whether its working or not.

It is much better to wait three or four weeks, and I'll tell you why.

Fat loss happens in fits and starts

I mentioned the whoosh effect a few mails ago.

Although there is no hard scientific proof it appears that in some people the body retains water in place of the fat that's lost

So you could go for the next two or three weeks, weighing exactly the same, even though you have lost a ton of fat

Then all of sudden your weight will suddenly decrease almost overnight

I got this information from Lyle Macdonald, its a bit technical but have a read anyway.

I told you scales were bad news :)
