Ugh - I give it 2 more weeks
Help!! Extremely frustrated here...
Low-carbed before and it worked wonders.
Now, I am sluggish, tired, and not losing weight.
I lost 10 pounds within the first few weeks, and it is week 10...nothing since week 3...I am not exercising (I know I should), so we can't say muscle gain. I have been in ketosis the whole time and I drink plenty of water.
Possible catch - depopravera (sp?) - am I stalled because of this? Is it possible I am eating too many fat grams? And why am I so weak/tired? I take a women's one-a-day every morning.
Sample daily menu -
2 pieces of ham (2 carbs on label)
a few slices of cheddar
or 2 boiled eggs and cheese
serving of peanuts (about 5 carbs - 3 w/o fiber)
grilled chicken salad with ranch/or leftovers (see below)
stroganoff (beef, cream, cream cheese, mushrooms and onions)
or low-carb pizza (SMALL amount of tomatoes, lots of cheese and italian sausage) or maybe a chicken breast/hamburger patty and asparagus
This is my typical menu. It's pretty much the same foods switched around over and over...but again, I'm always in ketosis.
Any ideas?? I will start exercising tonight - but if weight loss occurs due to exercise, I can't really give the credit to low-carb after this stall, may think about low-fat (i hate to even say it).
