Thanks everyone. I appreciate your feedback. I will try cutting carbs back to 10 grams this week and see what happens. To answer your questions:
As for health issues--I have high BP and am on medication for that. No other health issues that I know of and I am an octogenarian. Not bad for an old girl. Energy expenditure is low--walking is an issue--I fall. I do other kinds of exercises.
Westman et al in the New Atkins for a New You recommends around 84 grams of protein/day (Protein Power recommended calculation based on lean body weight is the same)and I try to get down to that. Last week's stats: Carbs 6%, Protein 24%, fat 71%. Past month stats same. Past week's average calories 1560.
I can't find my body fat % but my calculated BMI is 31.79. My goal was to lose 30 pounds. I am having trouble getting to and maintaining a 10 pound weight loss since June 28.
Oh, I use Diet Power and Body Tracker. They do a better job of the math than I can when converting grams to ounces.
Thank you all for your suggestions. I do appreciate it.
