Hi there Rinoa.....

I can understand your feeling that you are a turtle because you haven't been losing as quickly as you'd like to. One of the most important things that we need to do when we are LCing is be consistent. Eating LC is not just another diet, but a way to mend our metabolisms. In order for this to work, we really need to be focused on following the plan with consistency. This means a consistent amount of calories, protein and fat as well as a consistently low quantity of carbs.

Past experience has shown me that I get my best losses when I'm eating "clean". This means no LC "junque" food and plenty of unprocessed meats and fresh veggies, as well as keeping fat levels up.

Perhaps your visit to the doctor will reveal the reasons for how unwell you feel and you'll get some answers to deal with it.
