    In Ketosis...not losing???

    I have been in ketosis for 21 days, and I am not losing weight...I've gained two and have since stalled...It's very discouraging and I'm ready to go carb
    crazy...HELP....How long do stalls last....should I eat enough carbs to get my
    body out of ketosis...and then start strict induction again??? !!!

    Post your menues in the Review My Menu forum.

    Are you losing inches. Dr. Atkins said the loss of inches represented fat emptying from your cells.

    Are you exercising?

    It's very possible to be in ketosis and not lose weight---especially if you are overeating your Atkins. It takes very little added fat to make your meals "high fat", about 1 to 2 tablespoons only. A common mistake is that people eat far much more fat that is necessary. While it's true that you can eat alittle more on Atkins and lose weight, that metabolic advantage stops working if you are overeating.

            Hang in there. I suggest you review DANDR. Make sure you drink and drink and drink water some more, get some exercise and just hang in there. It will work sooner or later.
