Weight Loss Plateau: Update


I'm starting to break the weight loss plateau that I've been on. Here's what I've learned about this particular moment in my journey:

  1. My fasting blood sugar of a morning has been high, of late.
  2. Even when my morning blood sugar is okay-ish it will often go up quite a bit after breakfast.
  3. I haven't been writing down everything I eat every day, so I may be going overboard with some of my macros (fat/protein/carbohydrate ratios) and/or I may be consuming too many calories.
  4. I haven't been exercising much at all.
In my previous post about this plateau I mentioned that one of the doctors that I follow on YouTube had suggested not snacking at all between meals for 3 days. This didn't help me break the plateau, but I believe that it did help me regain some control of my cravings.

Part of the reason my blood sugar has been higher is that I had two vaccines last week (covid and seasonal flu). Both were done on the same day, and both are known to cause higher blood sugar values in people with type 2 diabetes. But I can't use that as my only excuse because I have been consuming more carbs that I was at the beginning. I've been eating muesli for breakfast, and even though it's a moderate amount, that is still too much for me.

Another factor is that I had been taking certain nutritional supplements earlier on, but stopped taking them when I ran out (instead of purchasing them again).

Resolution 1: eat a keto nut bar in the morning, instead of muesli, to get my carb craving satisfied without increasing my blood sugar.

Resolution 2: start again with some of the supplements that seemed to help in the past, to lower my blood sugar. Monitor and see if that makes a difference.

Resolution 3: add some supplements that have been recommended to me, for lowering blood sugar naturally.

Resolution 4: start exercising regularly (without increasing cortisol, which means don't train too hard).

Resolution 5: get back into the habit of writing down everything that I eat (Fat Secret app).

I'll let you know how it goes!
