2. You may try to break a plateau by decreasing percentage of carbohydrates and increasing percentage of protein that you intake each day. 3. Another common recommendation is not to mix your protein and carbohydrates. If you have a protein breakfast, wait 2-3 hours before resuming your balanced meals. 4. Generally speaking, you should be exercising no more than 1 hour per day. However, ask yourself if your fitness routine is intense enough? Simply walking around block for 15 minutes a day may not be enough for you. Each person is different. Also, walking around block may have been an excellent exercise when you first started to lose weight, but it may not be enough now that you've hit a plateau. 5. If you have recently added a fitness regimen to help you lose weight, you may experience a slight weight gain for first few weeks, especially if part of that routine involves weight lifting. This can be a very frustrating experience. If you are engaged in an intense workout regimen, it may help to measure yourself with a measuring tape, rather than scale. You will be putting on muscle and muscle will burn more calories than fat, but it's also heavier. 6. If you are already on a low calorie diet and you are sticking to it, then it is not recommended that you cut out any more calories. Increasing your activity is really key to breaking out of a plateau. However, if you are "supposed" to be on a low calorie diet but you are not sticking to it, well, answer is obvious: you need to stick to it.

by perception of possible danger and they withdrawal into a ball - this is a defensive, flight reflex. It’s an exact visual representation of what happens to humans when our brains perceive a possible threat.... terrorists, abductions, relationships, murder, money, work, parents, low blood sugar, toxins, violent/action packed entertainment... all these things (and more) can be a source of perceived threat and may trigger roly-poly syndrome - or General Adaptation Syndrome (G.A.S.) as it’s called by many. Our research reveals extent to which our primitive stress reflexes silently and invisibly destroy bodies, minds and lives. Teaching people to recognize and learn to self-regulate is a key to evolution of human health. Our Anti-Stress Program is based on these principles, and these are central issues in our Evolution of Health Project," explains Dr. Ward Coleman, N.D. and President of Four Mountains, Inc.Four Mountains programs support transition from unwell to well, i.e. from a total stress condition to a balanced and optimized condition that can be learned and maintained.
