Hi Josie

{I've been eating white fish (poached) chicken and eggs and cheese } Sounds good on the face of it. An egg is approximately 0.6g carbs; Cheese is also not "nil" carb. : just to help you be more aware of carbs you could be consuming without realising it.

Are you eating enough? 10-12 times your weight in calories. Eat fat to lose fat (as someone put it) is a great way of retraining the mind to come off the "Low-Fat" brain-washing of years.

Stay with it - start a detailed Eating Journal and Gym Log - I found it helped a lot in focussing myself on my own goals and making slow but steady progress.

We are planning a UK LC meeting (possibly 17th November) in London if you would like to meet up with other LCers?

Take care.
