First - love love love your flower on the top right of your blog! Those dancing flowers are the best and it reminds me I need to get one for my desk at work ;). Second, you're awesome for posting up rules and regs for your facebook page group/small town. 12,000+ peeps is a lot to monitor and I don't envy you for that! lol It would over whelm me! Go you! At any rate, glad to be connected! I'm always looking for a new twist on a Low Carb and/or Paleo recipe that will make my mister and myself happy and healthier :). So again, glad ot be connected! Best, Dawn

Comment on So why am I not losing weight on low carb? by Anne

I think you nailed it, Cathy, when you emphasized that you cannot cheat on a low-carb diet. This is hard for low-calorie dieters to understand, because on a low-calorie diet, 100 calories or so above your daily allotment won’t have a big impact on your weight loss. But on a low carb diet, ingesting sugar, even in smaller quantities, can kick you out of ketosis. I think this is often the issue with people who transition from low-calorie to low-carb.

I have a question. I’ve been eating low carb for about two months. My weight is the same, but I’ve lost around 2 cm of my legs. I am not exercising so I can’t be building muscle instead. Any ideas what’s going on?

Maybe you need to start strength training to build muscle and boost your metabolism so that you can eat more. Don’t just lose weight, tone it up. That should help immensely.

My doc says stop losing already! I eat all sorts of rich foods with lots of calories. Heavy cream in my tea.. Lots of snacks in between. Nuts, I can’t do. I have IBS and they really bother me. I love them, but.. Eggs and bacon for breakfast.. Hamburger and salad made with avocado and black olives and tomatoes for lunch. Steak or pork chops (bone in) for dinner with sweet potato. I eat all the time. Charts for my healthy weight say 98 lbs.as the lowest. I’m at 105 and losing.. I look terrible. Started 3 months ago at 135. Everyone says it will level off. I sure do hope so..
Thanks so much for your reply!

What’s your doc say, Lynda? If you need to keep the carbs about where you are but do not want to continue losing at the same rate, I’d look for calorie dense foods, nuts, heavy cream, cheese, etc…
