Hi Soteria,

As you may have discovered by now, weight loss when low carbing often happens in stages.

As Michelle has discovered, you lose some weight and then the body "pauses" for a while - probably the fat cells grabbing onto some water for a while in an effort to regroup. When that extra water goes, it can sometimes be as an overnight loss of several pounds.

Some whimsical soul described this phenomenon as a visit from the Whoosh Fairy. Sweet, isn't it? So we all long for visits from "the fairy." In fact she sometimes flits across the main page of this forum - try to catch her!

Cheers (keep hanging in there, Michelle!),

Rosebud
