Hi Addie...
I'm with the others, don't give up. I'm just (I hope) coming off a four week stall. Hey, it happens. Can you imagine 6 months from now saying, oh yeah, I tried low carb for 3 weeks and it didn't work? 3 weeks is a blink of an eye when you know that this is NOT a quick weight loss plan, this is a choice for life.
I'd ask the same questions the others have...are you eating enough? calories=10-12 X your weight? are you getting the proper nutrition? 65% fat, 30% protein, 5% carbs? Undereating will absolutely stop your weight loss. Your body thinks it is starving and holds on to every ounce.
The main thing is..how do you feel? Full of food? Peppier? In control? Those are the real benefits of low carb, but if my dress size comes down too, hey, I'll take it!
We're all pulling for you, Addie!
