Outwitting Plateaus

When I met Catherine, she was a young mother working in a doctor’s office. She casually mentioned that she had been told that she was “pre-diabetic” and had elevated blood pressure, which is like saying you are “a little bit pregnant.” A full-figured woman, she sported the classic tummy-overhang associated with individuals who suffer from the metabolic syndrome. Catherine began Diet Evolution, and after losing about 30 pounds, hit her first plateau. During this period, she spoke to me almost daily about her concern that the program had stopped working. I encouraged her to settle in, not to force any more weight off, and to get used to this new weight for a while. She did just that.

About a month later, Catherine was beaming. “The weight loss has started again, just like you said!” She hadn’t done anything but maintain her lowered weight. A year and a half and two plateaus later, she is now down 82 pounds, and the pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, and very high cholesterol are history. She wants to trim another 20 pounds and I see no reason why she shouldn’t succeed. Her genes want to keep her around.
