Now now, Tim, you be nice to Tim!

First, are you drinking enough water? Dark purple on the sticks might indicate dehydration. You need to drink lots of water to keep the weight loss going.

Second, are you taking measurements? You might be gaining muscle, particularly if you're now eating more protein than you were previously to low-carb. Muscle is denser than fat, so the scale may be going up while inches are going down.

Third, you may be replacing water lost during the Fat Fast.

I'm sure others will chip in with hints and tips; in the meantime, hang in there and be patient! Low carbing DOES work, though not always as quickly as we want!
