Hi Lannrx; I don't know what you are eating in one day, to be able to see if it's matching your output.
I never exercise during the Induction phase of Atkins because my muscles get fatigued. Good to give the body time to adjust to low carb high fat WOE.

It's okay to stick to 20-30 grams of net carbs for weight loss, but when you add in weight training and cardio, it might be a good idea to go to 50 grams of net carbs. You can experiment to find the sweet spot. You've lost 9 pounds in one month - that is results!!

Many on this site will completely agree with you - lots of salt is important. So is eating enough. Weight lifting is an extra burden on the muscle (the tear that repairs) and they say to eat carbs after lifting. Even if you don't up your carbs, just eat lots of protein, fat and veggies. Good luck.
