OK, I began eating low carb candies and chocolates on an occasional basis last September. I didn't tie my stall to this change in my diet. However my weight hasn't changed in 6 months. I decided two weeks ago to cut out the LC items and still eat the same number of calories in acceptable foods. Guess what! I've lost 7 lbs in the last two weeks with no other changes in my diet or activity. So for everyone out there that has added LC items to their diet to help them stick to the diet, if you want to lose any more weight I suggest going back to a strict diet. I'm not saying I won't eat these when I'm in later stages of the diet, but since I still want to lose weight, I will lay off the LC items until I'm ready to maintain my weight.
