I have a question which you probably answered a million times, but it’s something which is worrying me…A year ago a successfully lost 15 kilos with the Atkins diet, and had no problems, apart from a little “plateau” a couple of months into the diet. After a winter of naughtiness, here I am, back again, having to lose 10 kilos. Problem is, I reach the infamous plateau every 8/10 days and stop losing weight completely. I eat carbs for one meal and start again, but I feel it’s wrong.

I follow the diet scrupulously, I exercise every day, I am in ketosis and still NOT losing weight. The only thing I’m doing differently, this time, is that I actually eat less than a year ago. I do not have breakfast (which has always been hard to eat for me) and my portions are smaller, as I am actually not hungry. Should I eat MORE?

I hope someone out there will be able to solve this puzzle for me: in Italy there are no support groups and I really have no clue…Thank you for your help.
