I have also experienced this. About 1 1/2 years ago, I was able to lose 50 pounds, then went off and gained 20 back. This time, the initial loss through induction is much slower, but after a month's stall, am starting to lose again.

I went off before primarily because of the lack of variety. Thanks mainly to this forum, I have discovered unending recipes and variations, plus some great products (Yea Flax-O-Meal and La Tortilla!!). I feel I can accept that this is how I must eat from now on, as a WOE, and not consider low-carb dieting simply as a temporary diet to lose and then go back to the same old habits that got me into this shape to begin with.
