I know this subject has been discussed before, but I'm rather new to low carbing, so hoping for some words of wisdom. I started this WOL on Jan. 1, 2002, and lost 7 pounds in 4 weeks (5'5, started at 151 and ended at 143). I know that's really fast. After 4 weeks, I got my first shot of Depo Provera. Since then, not only have I not lost a single ounce, but I've actually gained a couple of pounds, while eating very LC. Obviously, I won't be getting any more shots, but I was wondering: does anyone know if this inability to lose and weight gain from the Depo will subside soon, maybe once it's out of my system? I think maybe an IUD would be the best form of birth control for me, because there are no hormones released into your body (like the Pill or Depo) causing a weight loss slowdown or increase). Any thoughts or past experience from anyone on this subject?
