First of all, in 2 weeks you'd be lucky to see a pound of muscle mass, and maybe a little more tone.
Secondly, gaining weight to try and lose it again is stupid; it cannot "speed up" your metabolism, it will not help your motivation, and most people after 2 weeks of slacking will quit.
The fact is this; as you lose weight, you need less calories to maintain your weight. If you lose {x} pounds of fat, you must eat {x} amount less to maintain weight loss. That's just the way it is.

You've probably lost a lot of muscle mass from dieting for so long. This is also a contributing factor to the platue. Lift heavy weights, push yourself to failure, eat at McDonalds a few times (you'll love the break from dieting), and in 2 weeks go back to dieting again. You'll have new muscle to help burn fat along with your body being tricked by the change of pace, and you'll lose fat just as fast as you did when you started.

God, no one's commented for a year???
Anyway...
I disagree. Most people platue because the body will adapt to weight loss. The body adapts to anything AND EVERYTHING. If you lose weight consistently over 5 months, your body will adapt to that too. Instead of lowering your calories again, its best to go on a weight GAINING cycle, and gain muscle for 2 weeks or so.

By eating more calores. To gain muscle, eat calories and lfit weights. To lose fat, lift weights and eat less or do cardio. If you're eating more and lfiting, most of what you gain will be muscle, unlike a fat person who eats too much and NEVER works out.
Thank you!

As long as you're eating enough calories to repair muscle and supply energy, you won't lose muscle while dieting. The only way to gain muscle is to workout.
