Possibly post a few days menus so we can help you. Are you drinking water and exercising?

I am not getting enough exercise .but i work everyday . keep house .ect I drink water allways have but not 8 glasses. I keep every meal low. soomedays not eating the 20 grams. but i drink de- caf coffie and a couple diet sodas a week . could that be it.do you think. I allso take estrogn and tyrhoid replacement.no other meds.I lost real good on this diet a few years ago. when the weather gets better I will start walking I usually work in garden in summer. I am never still. I will keep trying maybe it will change I have been on this for 6 weeks. thanks

I know for me losing the second time is also very slow. I wouldn't stay too far under 20 grams. You do get to subtact the fiber from the carb count so therefore you get more healthy veggie carbs.
Are you getting enough calories? Sometimes eatting to little can make your body hold on fo dear life.
I personally dont think a few diet sodas a week is a staller.
I'd suggest posting exactly what you eat for your 3 meals a day so we can take a peek.
