Message: <blockquote data-quote="rolypolypudding" data-source="post: 2136274" data-attributes="member: 246008">A couple of tips as follows:- 1] Buy a book that gives the carb values of most types of food 2] Count carb intake on a daily basis 3] Keep a food diary. 4] check the carb content of any food that comes in a can or a packet. Be aware that most carbs are quoted in 100gms whereas the can or packet could weigh a whole lot more.This should help you to identify if you are having any slip ups along the way. I'm eating more than you and losing on average 2lbs per week. I've cut down my fruit intake drastically and only have some berries with my breakfast low carb porridge.It's best to eat more green veg instead.I also avoid yoghourt like the plague a] because I hate it and b] because some contain hidden sugar in quite large amounts. I have cream instead.All the above tips are what I use myself, and that have helped me to keep on the straight and narrow. It also may be that you don't have much weight to lose, hence your slow weight loss. I have around 5 stone to lose which may account for my faster weight loss.Good luck!</blockquote>
