I lost 5lbs in the first two weeks, put two on the second (because I went on holiday) and then lost one the week before last, none last week and none this week. I have been following atkins to the letter, counting my carbs and drinking like a fish!

I have been taking the right supplements, and have been eating all 'legal' foods (not frankenfoods such as "advantage bars"). I also don't seem to be in ketosis because my keto sticks aren't changing colour. I am below 20 grms carb and don't seem to be losing as fast as expected.

Please someone help!! am at the end of my thether, as I still have about 50lbs to go!

Cheers
