Not Losing Weight on Low Carb?
No matter which plan you are following, weight-loss plateaus and weight-loss stalls can be frustrating, especially if you haven't lost any inches either.If this isn't your first time on a low-carb diet, you might be comparing what's going on today with how things were before. Stalls and weight-loss plateaus are extremely common when this isn't your first low-carb rodeo.
If you are new to a low-carb diet, or any diet for that matter, you might not understand how fat loss actually occurs. It won't be linear. Some weeks, you'll see the number go down on the scale; other weeks, you won't.
But the overall trend will be downward.
If it's not happening that way, if it's been 4 to 6 weeks since you saw any weight loss on the scale or lost any inches, (your clothes don't feel any looser and your belt is still pretty tight), it's time to investigate what's going on.
That is the main purpose of this weight-loss plateau page.
Here, you'll find a variety of articles and posts that focus on the many reasons why you might not be losing weight on your low-carb diet. We tackle the hard questions, like:
- Can you be in ketosis if you're not losing weight?
- Will genetically modified foods affect weight loss?
- Do food sensitivities play a role in what's going on?
- Why does a low-carb diet stop working?
- share several methods for breaking stalls and plateaus
- reveal the truth about dietary fats and calories
- explain why eating out can slow down fat loss
- offer the honest truth about insulin and ketosis
- reveal what to DO if low carb doesn't work
- clear up many low-carb myths
You'll also learn what you can expect to experience if you are returning to low carb for the second, third, or even fourth time.
Our aim is to give you all of the information you need about stalls and plateaus, so you can evaluate what's going on with you and make the right decision in how to proceed.
The answer won't be the same for everyone.
Sometimes, you have to do a bit of tweaking to get the scales moving again, so our blog posts provide all of the facts you need to make that happen.
