[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 2174947, member: 219467"] OK so drinks, then breakfast, then lunch, then dinner, then snacks. With bread and crispbread. To me it sounds like you are spiking insulin production at least 3-4 times a day and are kind of refeeding with some carbs quite regularly. That could explain why you don't seem to be able to get into ketosis and thus are failing to lose weight. You might be one of the "unfortunates" that really needs to go very low carb before the benefits of ketosis start to work their magic. If you could try for one week maybe skip breakfast entirely and have 2 or 3 coffees with double cream to start the day then have a lunchtime meal and an evening meal with no snacks but eat enough at the mealtimes to get full you may find that the weight loss will start. Maybe try and make one of your 2 meals almost zero carb.. say bacon and eggs that too might help. Cut out the bread, crispbread, root veg and maybe even the tomatoes and see how you get on. If breakfast is important to you then maybe just do breakfast and lunch but eat enough to feel sated. Edit to add I'd also recommend keeping a very detailed food diary for that week including absolutely everything, ideally weighed or measured, so you can see exactly what you are having. [/QUOTE]
