Ummm....you've been at it for a few months ? Show me a single study that's lasted more than a year....you can't...want to know why ? It is not sustainable by the vast majority of people....the VAST majority of the people simply stop eating low carbs, gain back all the water they lost and thus...

Try not to get discouraged. A little bit at a time...try getting out for a short walk everyday.Regular exercise is better...start small...do 10 mins a day and work your way up....eventually you start losing some weight and feel better. Eat a little less...do a little more. It's not going to...
