Hi
I have been low carbing for around six weeks, and only lost 10lbs and seemed to have plateaued, I am struggling to lose more.
Any advice on how to lose more would be appreciated.
The low calorie would work as long as you include proteinOk, update. 21 days into very low carbing.
Been on less than 20 grams of carb a day, - sometimes less. Calorie deficit also, I'm aiming for 1100 of calories a day and miss that by 200 sometimes.
I've been doing HIIT and kettle bell on alternate days. No grain or wheat has passed my mouth. Just weighed myself after said 21 days, and NO WEIGHTLOSS.
I'm not hungry, I've been drinking loads of water. Taking my Metformin religiously and my blood sugars haven't gone down either.
I know the doctor isn't interested, and I cant change gp, we live in a tiny village. So stuck! Heres to another 21 days. When I will report back.
I usually have about 800-1200 i mix it up to shock my body and I work out also. My diet is clean and mean I think green and ingest green smoothies alsoThe low calorie would work as long as you include protein
Ive lost 10lbs in a space of seven weeks is that good ? or bad. I cant seem to shift easy, does anyone have the same problem, or am i doing something wrong?
I'm losing about 1lb a week at the moment - happy with that considering I'm only counting carbs and not calories as I know from bitter experience that low cal diets are not for me.Im currently on the LCHF diet, and want to lose about two more stone. I have lost 14lbs in around 8 weeks but frustrated still
it's the same as menopausal women, they have to cut their carbs right back, I saw someone say 10g of carb a day,,that's veg and salad..no nuts etc. and It stuck in my head because I thought the atkins 20g was hard core.I lost ten kilos very quickly but now am losing slowly, one kilo at a time. I only weigh myself every week or two, as I just can't bear to get too obsessed. However, I did start measuring my waist a few weeks ago and over a three week period when I'd lost hardly anything - a pound or two at most, I'd lost two inches off my waist, so measuring has cheered me up! And recently I realised I was standing on the bottoms of my trousers because they were laying much lower, on my hips rather than my waist, and had become too long.
I'm one of those people who just don't pay much attention to her body, as long as it doesn't hurt and nothing falls off, so it's taking me ages to learn how to notice the changes that ARE happening. I also had a hysterectomy - 18 years ago now - and it's since then that I've put on a lot of weight, and found it harder to lose it. I know doctors insist there's no medical reason for this, but most women I know share the experience!
