Here are some questions you must ask yourself:

1. Are you TRULY counting every carb...including those "hidden carbs" that are not on nutrition labels?

2. Are you drinking 1/2 your body weight in water?

3. Are you over-eating? Meaning, do you stop when you feel full without getting "stuffed"?

4. Are you on meds that may prevent weight loss?

5. Have you had your hormones checked? Thyroid.

My problem, after reading this book "How to get the most out of your LC Diet" is that I wasn't really counting my carbs properly. Hidden carbs and quantities were much higher than what I was plugging in thus I was going over the carb limit. SInce I began more accurate tallying....I lost 1 lb and am in medium ketosis (purple).
