I agree with the above. Supplements are important. But then again so is real food. Are you eating ENOUGH?? If you are feeling hungry and faint, then EAT. Eat some protein with a little fat ... cold leftover meats or chicken dipped in mayonnaise or mustard, a piece of cheese or a few nuts (watch the carbs). So many folks eradicate all the carbs from their diet, and don't replace them with anything. The body thinks it's starving .... which it is.... and weight loss stops as your cells cling to every ounce for dear life!!

About ketosis, don't fret over those darn sticks! It may very well be that your body is burning all the ketones your liver produces, therefore none are leftover to spill into the urine. Click on Tips on the red menu bar. Read the article Ketones and Ketone Test Strips .. that should answer questions you may have.

Do write out a day or two worth of what you're eating ... and write everything, including oil on your salad, and if you cook your eggs in butter or a dry non-stick pan ..... etc, etc ....
