Hey everyone! I'm back again... I am pretty sure my metabolism is completely out of it. I am not losing the weight that I once did. I need help everyone. How can I make sure my metabolism will work as it once has?

Re: Because It Isnt Working!
Also post some statistics - height, start/current/goal weights, how long you have been back on Atkins and your gender (If I recall the name r0mel correctly you are male?).
If you add this info to your signature it will give people a better chance of being able to give relevant advice.Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

Re: Because It Isnt Working!
How long is it since you last did Atkins... or any other diet? One's metabolism slows as the years go by... sad but true.Before and after:
PLEDGING FLIGHTS
Completed: 1st set of buildings and mountains (Everest,M.Blanc & Kilimanjaro, twice); Tower Masts & Chimneys; More virtual buildings; Challenger's Choice x 2 (volcanos and mountains on Mars). Currently climbing: Mount Snowdon again: 416/475
Start 10 Jan 2005. Maintenance since Aug. 2005.

Re: Because It Isnt Working!
Yo-yo dieting has a profound effect on our metabolisms. I know mine was allllll out of whack for eons because of it.
Want to get your metabolism back in working order? Then work it! It's really that simple. Stay consistant in your eating, exercise, supplementation and hydration and it *will* eventually come back around. It's not going to be what it once was - but what really ever is? We get older, we abuse our bodies, we have health issues, etc, but that doesn't mean you can't make the best of what you've got.
Be good to yourself You're worth it. If it takes a long time, then <shrug> it takes a long time. This whole process doesn't have a finish line...it's a life time marathon so time is something you have.
Take care.
