[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2397057, member: 41816"] Swiggy, That long on LC? That good a reduction? DEFINITELY not a failure! Well done! High levels of circulating insulin and the consequent insulin resistance makes it v hard to lose weight. I have seen v experienced long term low carbers say that you will only lose weight down to your level of insulin resistance. The routes to reducing IR are usually cutting carbs further (since I don’t know what level of lc your lchf is, I have no idea if that would be workable for you). Then there is exercise. Again, the possibilities of that vary a great deal between people. And Metformin. Which may or may not suit you. Some of us need all the tools that we can fit in our toolbox, so there is no shame whatsoever in trying another tool to see if it works for you. [/QUOTE]
