When very low carb doesnt work raising carbs often does. Induction is supposed to be fore 2 weeks, followed by OWL. It sounds like it's time you moved on, Tracy.

Eating <20g of carbs a day and eating <30g of carbs a day makes very little difference to fat burning for most of us. Also, those carbs should be 'effective carbs', that is, carbs minus any fiber. This gives you an overall lower carb count, letting you eat more of a variety of foods, and specifically, more veggies.

Also, give yourself some credit here - you've lost 20 lbs! That alone takes some adjustment from your body. This is the time when you should focus and work on fine tuning your WOE - make it a WOL. Learn how to eat and how to live so that when you do reach your goal you'll be equipped to maintain it!
