Hi, I'm Cat. Experienced and frustrated.

Hi there, I'm Caterina. :wave:
I'm new on the forum, but not new to LC. I went on Atkins several years ago, dropped 100 lbs over 3 yrs, and am back on it now to kick off another weight loss.

I've had some major health challenges the last 2 yrs, and am dedicated to getting the diet working, but I'm having significant frustration at the moment, because I can't get into ketosis. I actually seemed to have gained weight over the past 2 mos!! I'm really strict, cheating isn't a problem, and I am trying a few new things to help get to the right place.

I'm a big proponent of LC, for healthy weight control, diabetes, etc. I work in the pharmaceutical world, reading a lot of research, and I really think this is the way to go, both personally and empirically.
Thanks & best,
Cat
