[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2205564, member: 506169"] Hi francesk, I agree with JoKalsbeek, a fortnight is a very short time. It has been said that most people notice a difference in their Blood Glucose (if measuring regularly) before they see much weight come off. In my case I started cutting carbs before I bought my BG meter, so I can't comment. You call it a 'Low Carb diet'- now the word 'diet' is often taken to mean a calorie restriction of some sort. Are you eating less Calories? When I went onto a LCHF 'Way Of Eating' I probably increased my total Calories overall since I substituted fatty food full fat dairy, eggs and fattier meat for the carbs that I was cutting out. It was only after I became 'fat adapted' that I was able to cut portions and skip meals without feeling hungry. I'm a Type 2 TOFI, so I (wrongly) assumed that I didn't need to lose weight. My weight is currently stabilizing at about 147lbs down from 170lbs - so I lost around 12% of total body weight, and that was over a 4 month period. But I was 'eating to my meter' so far as carbs were concerned and found myself down at the almost Keto end of the Low Carb scale 20gms to 50gms per day. However we are all different: in genetics, metabolism ( have you reduced yours by a crash diet?), gut biome, personal tastes and preferences etc. [/QUOTE]
