[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1320021, member: 355878"] It might be that what you think is low carb is just not low enough to push you into fat burning. I found it really difficult to switch back to low carb now that I am diabetic, after just a couple of years after being persuaded that I had to stop. It has taken almost exactly two weeks to get back the energy and happiness - Dr Atkins was a clever fellow, his Induction period is two weeks or more. I tend to push copies of Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution into the hands of almost perfect strangers, as his low carb way of eating seems to be regarded as a distant fad, but it is the best thing ever as far as I am concerned, and the more I think about the last 40 years the more I realise that I have probably been prediabetic for a long time, but with low carbing the symptoms were not obvious. Perhaps if you can tell us just how many carbs you are eating - and when - I eat bacon and egg type meals early in the day - it is not called Dr Atkins' revenge for nothing. Starting with a low carb meal - I do have tomato or mushrooms with it normally, just these last few weeks have not been normal at all, seems to put the metabolism into ketosis (not ketoacidosis.) so that according to my reckoning you begin to get negative calories when compared to a high carb diet. As Dr Atkins also discovered, you can eat more calories and lose weight if you also eat low carb. [/QUOTE]
