Hi,

I was hoping to get some advise. I have been on the Atkins induction diet before and lost 10 and 12 pounds, respectively, the first two times.

Last summer I went on the induction phase of the diet for 4 weeks and did not lose any weight. This year I decided to get serious. I have been on the induction phase of the diet for 7 weeks.

For the first 3 weeks I could not loose weight. (I am 25 pounds overweight.) I cut my calories to between 1200 and 1500 a day. In the last 3 - 4 weeks I have lost 5 pounds. Given the amount of exercise I have been doing (a lot), I'm not seeing any "Metabolic Advantage".

I've been in Ketosis for 6 weeks. I usually eat about 12 grams of carbs. I cut out aspartimine. I have reduced my calorie intake. I have been taking Caprilic acid based yeast medicine, and I have been taking probiotics. I've still hit a plateau.

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction with either advise or a referal. I live in Las Vegas Nevada.
