Stall=6 weeks or more with no loss in inches or weight.

Anything less than this isn't considered stalling.

Have you taken measurements? Use that for reinforcement not the scale. Remember while your body is getting rid of the fat stores, some muscle is taking over the space. Muscle is heavier than fat.

Remember to drink plenty of water, make sure you are eating enough calories a day. Notice I said calories not carbohydrates. Eating too few calories a day will cause you to stall as well.

If you are drinking lots of water, those cute little strips may not be showing because you are doing exactly what needs to be done and that is flushing those ketones out of your system. If you are losing inches and pounds....you are in ketosis. Don't put so much faith in those paper strips, use them as a guide...
