Hi luv_golf!

Haven't got any magic answers for you, but it's possible you're not eating enough. Are you recording at Fitday? http://www.fitday.com A lot of us learn that our calories are too low when we first start lowcarbing. I think that's why we're told we don't need to count calories--it's rare for someone to eat too many. Most of us have the opposite problem. Lowcarbing seems to have a natural built-in appetite suppressant.

Do you know your BMR (basic metabolic rate and AMR (active metabolic rate)? Here's one site where you can check it out..... http://www.healthyontario.com/engli...asp?text_id=240

Fitday is also a big help keeping track of your fat/protein/carb ratios (s/b about 70/25/5%).

Hang in there....it does work!
