Maybe you got a bit tired because of the physical heaviness of the meal? If I have my usual turkey and salad for dinner, I have much more energy than if I had had a (much more enjoyable) bowl of low-carb, home-marinated chicken wings. But then again, I can only tolerate a little bit of fat, so maybe it's the fat content.
Hey, I just noticed we started at similar weights. Three years ago, I actually got down to about 160, but now back to this weight You've done so well - your goal is only 16 pounds away!

I think you have it right on the insulin sensitivity. Perhaps at only a couple weeks into lc my body has not adjusted yet and the sensitivity to insulin has not occurred yet. I read lost night in Protein power, it is months of correct eating to alter the insulin sensitivity.
Isn't it nice to have someone else on the same journey pound for pound?? This is my first mini hurdle. THen two more hurdles. I needed smaller challenges. Whatever helps me get there!
