“Up the intensity, up the intensity!” This seems to be the stock standard response when a weight loss program starts to plateau. But what happens when you consistently up the intensity and things keep getting worse?

The last three weeks have been a real battle for me with a string of disappointing results. Today I approached the scales with enthusiasm as I’d worked very hard all week. This exuberance was short lived as I only managed 300g, edging me down to 114.9kg from 140. It’s just a hunch but maybe, just maybe, trying a little less might be more effective. Think about it: Low intensity exercise gets the heart rate up, burning fat. Low intensity also means less tired bones, bouts of unstoppable hunger and generally being miserable.
I might be on to something here. I’ll try it out for a week and publish the results in the next Fat Camp.
