Just over a month now and I feel I have had some great results......I have lost 23 lbs!

I only had one "cheat" day and possibly twice went over the 20 grams of carbs limit. About a week and a half into induction I started doing some cardio and have kept increasing it steadily.....

now I can do 60 minutes a day no problem and I do that 4-5 times a week along with a little weight training here and there.

This past week however I have noticed things slowing down a bit.......I have been hovering for about 5 days even though I am still doing my regular cardio and I am still on induction. A couple thing that I have changed recently are that I am not having a protein shake daily as of late, and just 3 days ago I started taking a couple teaspoons of Psyllium husks a day ( a friend of mine said that it seemed to help him).

I have noticed that I'm finally starting to see a bit shrinking of my midsection but it seems to be the last area being affected......I have an old pair of jeans that will be the true measure of success.....and I'm not there quite yet.

Any suggestions fellow Low Carbers ???

You are doing great, yes things will slow down and you will have weeks of no loses, "but stick with it", your body just needs a rest.
Yes the shakes and bars can be bad news in the early days of the plan, and should be used sparenley even at the later part.

hey webslinger,
one thing to keep in mind is, as you get closer to your goal weight, your body will not want to give up the fat as easily as it did at first. maybe experiment one week and go back to the protein shakes like you were doing in the beginning and no Psyllium husks. If that wk you lose weight like you did, then that's the ticket. and like Kathy said, just keep at it, you're doing great!!! It'll eventually come off!

Good Luck!!!

thanks for the tips.........the support is much appreciated !!!

You've done fantastic. Hang in there.

23 lbs !!!!!!!!!! That's great. I hope to be there soon !
