[QUOTE="maglil55, post: 1367348, member: 52911"] #Brunneria I get the concept and, as I said I was losing weight when I was 40 to 50g carbs but I also know from MPF fat was lower and calorie intake was around 1200. 20g carbs or less is not an issue. Bottom line my BG was not coming down to a level I was happy with on 40 to 50g but it is on 20g or less. I'm not hungry - if anything I feel full most of the time and to be honest, at lunchtime I'd prefer a snack rather than the full meals on the 2 week challenge. I'm just puzzled that I've only dropped 1lb although maybe there will be another 1lb this week. My fat/protein/carb split is much the same as yours Brian. My mind is asking am I doing something wrong? I followed the recipes and actually weighed everything (usually I cook by guesswork). So the portions are what they say. I did change a couple of things. In the chicken casserole with the olives and feta there was just too much cream in in for my taste so I reduced the cream content. The other change due to taste is they saute their veg in a lot of butter - I prefer to steam them and add a little knob of butter at the end or sometimes not. Again it's a matter of taste. But now I'm wondering if reducing the amount of fat they use is affecting my weight loss? Or is it due to the fact I'd already lost 17lbs and the weight loss is slowing down? I already exercise but I'm not convinced that shifts weight unless you are working out for hours on end and I don't know anyone who has the time for that. Or is it just weight loss takes time to kick in with VLC.? I guess I'm just looking for logical answers but I don't want to upset the apple cart with my BG. My logical mind is saying I need to tweak something if I am not losing but the question is what? Calories are a hard one to shake when you've been told for years you have to keep to a certain level [emoji53][emoji53][emoji53] . [/QUOTE]
