Question Can't Loose

Been On This Diet For Almost A Month Now And I Can Not Loose A Pound. Was On The Same Atkins Diet Many Years Ago And Lost 75 #. I Am In Ketosis All Of The Time (moderate At Least) But The Weight Will Not Come Off! My Legs Swell Up During The Day And Drain At Night. Have You Ever Been In The Same Situation? Is This Common? Will I Overcome This Plateu And Begin To Loose Weight? Help!

Darryl - it would help if you would start a journal and post a link to it so we can see what you are eating during the day. Or - post a sample menu of your daily intake of food. It's impossible to tell what the problem is unless we know what you are eating, how much water you are drinking and so on. If we can see that information, then lots and lots and lots of tips can come your way to help you out.

This DOES work and the best part is I don't have to be hungry or lightheaded to lose weight.

Darryl: There could be a variety of reasons why the wt is not coming off, even though you are in ketosis. It could be hidden carbs, eating too much at night, alcohol, too much cheese, not enough fat, etc. etc. etc.
I agree with the earlier post... start a journal, write down everything you eat and when, and let some of the experts here take a look. Mike
