some advice given to me when i wasnt losing and didnt know what happened was to
first: watch my calories.. didnt think i needed to, but found i was eating 19-2000 per day which is way too much for me, carbs or no.

and second: make sure that the ratios are good --70% fat, 25% protein and 5% carbs. was told that excess protein will be stored as fat. i was eating 40-50% protein and had to change that.

my personal opinion-- to really see the weight come off, i had to stop things like nuts, SF choc, atkins bars, shakes & low carb baking for a few days. eating them isnt techncially 'cheating' but still.. all these are to be treats, not a daily or in my case, twice daily occurance. once i stopped and went on strict induction (where i dumped the 'fun' stuff, started monitoring ratios and calories) is when i started losing again. just my experience..
