I am doing high fat with induction level carbs and am having less success than I did last year when I wasn't trying.
I suspect that over the years my metabolism has adjusted and it's harder for me to lose weight, but I never found it was easy to be honest.
So 3 months in and I have lost 10lb. I stall for weeks then will lose 2-3 in one go, then back to stalling, or even gaining.
I gave up dairy a few weeks ago as it was affecting my arthritis, so am using coconut oil, cocoa butter, beef dripping and olive oil.
I am only eating meat fish eggs and veg, with coconut yoghurt now and then. No nuts, no off plan foods at all. I don't drink alcohol.
I am getting quite demoralised. I need to be stricter but how? Would intermittent fasting or a fat fast help?

If it's any consolation, I've hit 60, and have found with the menopause, that my metabolism is much slower too. My weight loss is gradual, but steady, though; I go on fasts at least twice a week, and have found it is great in balancing my appetite, intake and general well-being.
