Stalled During Phase Two
You made great strides during Phase 1, but now that you've transitioned to Phase 2 it seems like your weight loss has stalled. It's a common complaint with three common explanations:
You've reached your optimum weight. Congratulations! Your blood chemistry has improved and your body is adjusting to your new lifestyle. Still, if you're hoping to lose additional weight for cosmetic reasons, try adding additional sweat-generating exercises to your regimen or increasing the length of your workout.
High-glycemic carbs have crept back into your diet. If you don't stick to Dr. Agatston's recommendations, you can't expect the diet to work. Take a long, hard look at what you're eating and, if necessary, return to Phase 1.
Your weight loss hasn't stalled; it's just slowed. Some dieters expect the rapid weight loss they experienced during Phase 1 to continue. But during Phase 2, weight loss is often considerably slower. If you're still relatively new to Phase 2, be patient. Sustainable weight loss doesn't happen overnight—it may be months before you notice significant progress.
