Hi my exercise routine is 3 days a week MWF unless i miss a day. I jog for 30mins with a 5 min walk cool down and lift weights after. On Mondays I focus on chest exercises, Wednesday arms, Friday legs and core. On off days I do 25 push-ups and 50 sit-ups. I also supplement with Creatine (pill form) workout days I take 6,000mg after workout non workout days only 3,000mg in the morning, L-Carnitine Tartrate 1,000mg, Omega 3,6, 9 fish flaxseed borage oil, and B12 2500 mcg. Currently I haven't lost any weight this go around on Atkins I am thinking I am losing inches and replacing fat with lean tissue. Any suggestions to add more workout days? Extra running on off days?

How strict are you with carbs? Are you able to sustain all that activity on a truly low carb regimen?

Personally, the only way I have been able to lose bodyfat is with going as low carb as possible while tolerating a loss of energy that limits me to just walking and stretching.

I basically restrict my diet to a rotation of : eggs, beef patties, mushroooms, spinach, cheese. This makes me lethargic but does have the effect of slowly but steadily shedding body fat. It's my second go around with atkins, and it seems that result come harder then the first time.

On occasions I go mountain biking, I drink a mix of plain protein whey and maltodextrin, and try to avoid loading up on carbs afterwards. I try to eat only as much carbs as I'm actively burning and accept a lower level of performance than usual.

I have about ten pounds of bodyfat to reach my goal (190 to 180) and once I get there, I 'll rethink my strategy. But in meantime, losing the fat is my only goal.

Watch out for doing too much aerobic exercise, Phinney/Volek found it can lower RMR by as much as 15%.

If weight loss is your goal, it helped me to train fasted first thing in the morning - maybe after just a coffee, I can run up to 13 miles easy like this now. Also, if the rest of your life allows ;-) maybe split your sessions, such as run in the morning then lift weights in the evening with a few hours break between, to stoke up the fat-burning fire? Good luck with finding whatever works for you.

The creatine + the increase in lean mass and loss of fat would all make it so that your weight stays constant. It may even go up. It may be best to assess with measurements instead of a scale.
