[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2485120, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]Hi again [USER=521901]@Glyko[/USER]. How low is your low carb? Usually, when you have some energy stored as body fat, when you lower the amount of sugary and carby food, the fat will 'come off' and you will lose weight. I'm trying to think about what it is that could be causing you not to lose weight. With my overweight, but not diabetic friends who have tried low-carbing and it has not worked well for them, it is (from my pov at least) because the shock to their systems with carby food and sugar withdrawal was too dramatic and made them feel really bad. And, they did not take on the healthy fats side of the low-carbing argument, and felt pretty bad because they weren't eating enough healthy fat. When you have been told your whole adult life that butter, coconut oil, nut fats and so on are really bad for you it can be hard I think to up them to a level that feels comfortable. It can take time at any rate. These friends simply stopped low-carbing and went back to their old patten of eating. If you want more help, could I suggest the Atkins plan? I love their charts and symbols and great carb counts, and I think it is a great way to get into low to moderate carbing. And the Atkins diet method is out there with the protein thing, and you said you would like more direction with protein. I don't know enough about the low-carb plan in this website - but I assume it is really good, or are you doing that already? I see that you are not just low-carbing, but also low-cal eating. That's a tough call to do simultaneously I would have thought, unless that fits well in your life at the moment? Did you ask about vegan sources of protein because you are a vegan, or is it something you want to try along with the low-carbing and the low-caling? [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
