I did low calorie in addition to following Atkins, and lost about 3 lbs in 2 weeks time. this is extremely good for me, as I had not lost a single oz in 5 months.

I only did low cal for 2 weeks, then went back to what is a normal diet for me, Atkins, but not watching calories for the most part. after another 2 weeks, I'm up 1 lb, probably a little water, but no additional loss.

I'm ready to start another 2 weeks low calorie trial again. It seems to work at least so far.

We're all very different, and this may not be necessary for most people. Just doing low carb might work for a large number of people, but some of us need to restrict our calories more than might be considered average.

If I ate the 10 - 12 x my weight in calories, I would surely continue to stall.

Good luck to you, but be careful not to starve yourself.
