What are you eating to be between 0-10 grams of carb a day?
Did you read the Tips section on stalls and plateaus?
In ketosis, your body burns fat, but it will burn dietary fat before it gets to yours if you're ingesting too much.
Lowcarbing isn't just a diet "plan", where you follow a regimented menu for a period of time, in which you lose all the weight you want to lose with no problems at all, then go back to old eating patterns once the desired weight-loss is achieved. This is about lifestyle change, learning and understanding how and why food makes you healthy or takes health away. Educating yourself is simply the "responsible" thing to do.
If you haven't read Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, Protein Power or one of the other excellent books on LC living, you're not giving yourself the "tools" to succeed for the long term.
Everyone is different in the way they interpret LC and the result will be in how their body reacts. For all I know, you could be eating cans of tuna, pounds of processed meats, swilling olive oil, drinking diet drinks and protein shakes, eating low-carb bars and not drinking enough water or eating vegetables.
