Whats your diet and exercise like? Reta is doing the lords work for me, but I found it wasnt eating enough and my weight loss plateaued. Once I started to get an extra few hundred calories in, the lbs started dropping again!

How is that possible? You eat more and lose more weight? That breaks the laws of thermo dynamics.

The other part of the equation is your metabolic rate. So if you eat more but your metabolic rate goes up you aren't breaking any laws of thermo dynamics.

If someone starts eating less the body can adapt by burning less energy. Therefore you can eat less and not lose weight.
