Maybe, but I think it has more to do with an overload of hormones (estrogen and/or progesterone) which our bodies can't process and puts us into "stall mode." I think a good break could be good for all of us experiencing a plateua, unfortunately . Enough time to cleanse and rid our bodies of all that extra stuff and it is all just built up, needing to be rid of. Maybe our bodies have reached the point of negative feedback (as described by Wahaika). I don't know, but that just seems to make the most sense to me.
