Shawj,

Look at the bright side - you haven't gained weight despite all the "bad" things you've been eating. That counts for something.

How have your other indices changed? The measurements, your cholesterol, your blood pressure. If ANY of those are changed for the better (and none of them for the worse) that at least stick to LC until you find something else that you are convinced has a real chance of working.

Also, consider that there are MANY low-carb plans and, for any given person, some work better than the others and one works the best and one works the worst. How about doing this - commit yourself to cycle through all of the major LC plans for at least one month at a time. Treat them each as a completely new diet that you are trying. This way you virtually eliminate the risk of doing a yo-yo, you give LC plenty of time to start showing results in the event that it is just a matter that your particular body is going to take a lot longer than normal to start really responding, and you don't have to go through the carb-withdrawals or other transition problems you would have going to another diet.

Whatever you decide - best of luck to ya.
