In ketosis but no wieght loss :(

[notsofatsoon]

I started Atkins last Sept only for 10 days and I lost 12 lbs, but this time around I've only lost 2lbs in 10 days and have been doing it properly. I dont know whats going on.
I've seen some posts that mention "that time of month" so I was wondering what difference does it make if your PMSing or not??? Just curious because I should be close to mine so if thats the reason I wont get too down on myself.

Thanks for any insight...

P.S. I've been in Ketosis for the whole 10 days and still very little wieght loss

Re: In ketosis but no wieght loss

From what I understand, you retain more water close to TOM or something. All I know is that right before TOM, and sometimes for a couple days after, the scale goes up for me.

Oh - and I am on day 8 and have lost 2 lbs:

Day 1 I was 168.5
Day 2 I was 166
Day 3 I was 167.5 and started TOM that night
TOM over at the end of day 6
Stayed in the 167 range until this morning - Day 8 and am back at 166.

Thank you, that helps me out alot. I cheated yesterday because I was down. But now I know why I'm not losing. So again, Thanks!

Re: In ketosis but no wieght loss

you shouldn't have started off in ketosis... you will also show ketosis if you have had something high in fat so maybe that is what is happening... It should take a couple of days to get to ketosis so if you have been on it from day one you need to analyze your fat intake

Hiya

I'm the same, I'm on 11th Day of Induction and according to my scale I'm either 3 or 4lbs down.. which is still lovely, but like you the first few times I did Atkins I lost an incredible amount quickly. So i'm alittle bit shocked that this isn't the case this time, especially as I think this is the cleanest and to the tee, I've ever done it. I also think I may be due TOM soon, so I'm crossing everything that this is the reason.
Lets hope.
I'm staying on Induction another week, somethings gotta give sooner or later.
