Thanks so much for the reply. I have a hard time getting and keeping in ketosis. I went on the Atkins diet but didn't lose and I stayed at about 15 carbs. a day. It seems like I have to lower my fat intake and cal. to lose weight but the low fat is not very tasty and it doesn't fill me up like all that fat. I do like cream in my decaf coffee and I really like cream cheese. I make a cheese cake thats sugar free and soooo good, but of course I eat too much of it. I have been at this weight for too long now and really want it off. I don't know how long I can stay on this low fat version of the protein diets.
