Re: weight loss already stopped HELP!

A stall is defined as 4 consecutive weeks without weight loss or loss of inches. So you aren't stalled.

There's also no rule that says you need to lose weight every week. There may be weeks and even months with no weight loss.

Did you take body measurements? Did you lose inches?

Are you still on Induction?

How many pounds do you have left to lose?

You might want to post a complete menu, with quantities and net carbs for all foods. We could take a look.

Weight loss is not linear.

You will have weeks where you lose nothing, and nothing is actually wrong. Our bodies don't always cooperate with what you want. Be patient, stay on plan, and you'll resume again.

I know, seems like an awful trick huh? *lol* Stop watching your weight for a while. This happens to everyone, so please don't feel discouraged. It happened to me in the past before, I'll never forget it..I found however that, when I got over that hump/hurdle I took a ton off. Just think of it as the darkest hour before dawn. Depending on how much weight you need to throw away, you probably will have a few more stalls.

Enjoy, don't get discouraged OK?

Re: weight loss already stopped HELP!

it's called the post induction stall. almost everyone goes through it. your body is readjusting itself from all the weight you have just lost. hang in there and DON'T give up. it will pass soon and you will be so happy you stuck it out.

Re: weight loss already stopped HELP!

I didn't see any evidence of exercise in your question. Are you exercising? And how much of it?

Double check your foods to make sure no secret sugars are sneaking in.

Are you on extended induction?

Also, if you could post a menu of what you ate yesterday or today, maybe we can spot something.
