Hi
I have been LCHF since 30th April and have lost just under 9lb, now I know people say you shouldn't weigh yourself every day but I do, I have fitbit scales and just pop on them every morning first thing. I am a little disheartened because I truly expected to see a dip today but have weighed the same for 3 days running although I am seeing a dip in the body fat.
I have more than doubled/tripled even the amount of walking I am doing, my food intake is pretty low carb in comparison to before. Eg Food intake yesterday, 30g Raspberries, 30g Blackberries, 30ml D Cream, lunch omelette with small amount of onions, peppers, chorizo and mozzarella cheese (30g). Dinner, Steak, roasted onions, peppers, baby toms and buffalo cauliflower bites. BG yesterday evening were 5:1 before dinner, 6:0 (90 Mins) 6.2 (Before sleep approx 4.5 hrs from dinner). This morning BG 7.2.
The only thing I could say about yesterday was that I did not drink enough water, probably only about 250ml but with probably 3 cups of tea over the day although I have pretty much cut out coffee (instant) at work and drink water instead. 3 walks a day at work and then an hour or so in the evening with the dog and it is hard work because there is a blooming big hill involved!
You know it is hard work this LC business I would at least like to see a dip in the scales. I have added an app to my phone where I only add weight once a week and it has gone down every week bar the weekend of the royal wedding but even so stuck the same for three days in a row and prior hovered up or down at .1 at a time on the 23rd May I was 207.9 and today 30th I am 207.8.
