			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These suggestions are from a lifetime member. The question asked &#8220;What can I do to help with a Plateau?&#8221;</p>
<p>Try changing meal frequency. Eat 3 meals instead of several or go to 4-6 mini-meals instead of 3.<br />
Walk for at least 20 minutes extra on 3 days.<br />
Cut out alcohol for an entire week.<br />
Think about sweet foods and see if any can be cut out.<br />
Start counting POINTS from the evening. Make supper the start of the day. Then the rest of the points will be for the next day&#8217;s breakfast and lunch.<br />
Split the weekend by starting the week on Saturday night.<br />
Work out how many POINTS are available for the whole week.<br />
Change the time of day for the main meal.<br />
Replace 3 foods this week with something different.<br />
Follow a menu plan exactly for 3 days.<br />
Eat a piece of fruit as soon as you feel hungry.<br />
Eat more fish and chicken, less red meat and cheese (or none at all).<br />
Keep a list of things to do when the urge to eat strikes instead of eating until the feeling wears off.<br />
Plan to unwind this week. Put time aside for exercise, some relaxation, or just time for yourself.<br />
Eat everything in moderation, including favorite foods.<br />
Write down why you want to lose weight (start with &#8220;because I&#8217;m worth it!&#8221;) and what benefits there will be. Then tell others what you wrote during the meeting, or afterwards.<br />
Keep a Journal.<br />
Weigh and measure food for one week to be sure of portion size.</p>
