plateaus
I seem to be stuck! I followed Atkin's induction diet for the 2 weeks and lost the initial 7 pounds (probably mostly water), then I got stuck. The ketostix turned pink one day (boy was I excited!), but the remainder of the time were neutral. I tried the 'fat fast' for 3 days and lost one pound (the stix turned pink again one day). I have been stuck ever since. I have been walking for 30 mins. each day for six weeks and started weights 3 days per week one week ago. I have tried most of the suggestions I have found on the internet to try to break the plateau: eat more fat, eat more calories, eat less calories, take more vitamin supplements, take cayenne supplements, excercise more, drink more water, etc., but nothing seems to work. I am still eating 20 or fewer carbs per day. Can anyone suggest something more to try?
