CAN STRESS CAUSE A PLATEAU?

  • Angela is 40, with perimenopause
  • Her weight loss has stopped, could it be due to stress? 
  • How Angela eats
    • Breakfast: eggs with some protein
    • Lunch: green smoothie
    • Dinner: tonight, salmon and zucchini 
    • Will snack on olives, nuts, occasional apple 
    • She eats incredibly well!
  • Likely due to the stress
    • working out a lot with fitness classes 
      • not too much 
  • Angela does not yo-yo 
    • Gain some lose some, etc
  • Vinnie recommends getting checked out, because it sounds like she is doing everything right
    • May be something in combination with perimenopause 

ANGELA'S TRAINING

  • Exercises about 4 or 5 times a week with classes
  • Working with a team, going at her own pace
  • Not high intensity interval

FOOD DIARY

  • Angela has kept a diary, realized she was eating too few calories
  • Started being obsessive and overanalyzing everything
  • Should Angela keep a food diary? 
  • Vinnie is conflicted with the food diary
    • For some people, it is success, for others, disaster
    • Really depends whether the person can be okay and not obsess over it 
  • If you mindlessly eat, a food diary may be good
