Topic 4. Alternative diets
During the process of loosing weight, we sometimes need to change some things, especially if it's a long process (depending on the level of over-weight).
The organism can learn to recognize and adapt and it tends to keep the same, average weight. As a result, it causes a stoppage in our weight loss. We call this stage "plateau". When this happens, we should make some changes to our feeding plan to "lie" to our organism and continue loosing weight.
