I started Atkins two months ago and lost about five pounds in the first two weeks. I haven't lost any weight since and am looking for potential reasons.

I'm eat between 25 and 30 grams of carbs every day and around 1500 calories, keeping track of my intake on fitday. I do moderate exercise (cycling, weight lifting, walking) about four times a week.

I've cut out cheese and cream, eat all my veggies and eat Atkins bars no more than twice a week. I drink a minimum of 68 fl oz of water a day.

I'm thinking it might be because I'm trying to push my weight below my set point. I weigh 125 pounds. If I cut calories below 1500 a day I feel hungry.

Does anybody have any strategies for breaking through this barrier or should I just be happy with where I am?
