more subject to hormonal fluctuations, which can play havoc with your blood-sugar and insulin response. Finally, estrogen supresses thyroid function, which in turn slows your metabolism, making it more difficult to lose weight.
TIPS:
• A food diary and a carb gram counter are powerful tools to help you understand what may be blocking weight loss.
• Avoid aspartame and cut out all caffeine, candy( including sugar-free types), cheese, nuts and condiments and you may break through a plateau.
• Try reducing your carb intake by 5 grams a day; then, if necessary, by 10 grams. If weight loss is still stalled, go back to the Induction phase for three to five days.
