  1. Hi everyone,

    I've been lurking in this group for a while now so I thought it was
    time to introduce myself.

    Im a 34 year old male 5'8" and currently weigh in at 214lbs

    I started Atkins about 3 years ago and had some considerable success
    having lost approximately 40 lbs over 8 months. I was reasonably happy
    with that loss and I balanced the diet so that I was maintaining that
    weight. Approximately a year ago I lost the path slightly and the
    pounds started to creep back on :-(

    So back to the present, I decided to go back on Induction about 2
    months ago weighing 216lbs. Stuck to induction rigorously for 2 weeks
    and I lost about 1 pound if I was lucky (was in ketosis from about day
    3). Have increased the carbs slightly by adding more vegetables and
    had one slight blow out when I had a few too many glasses of red wine.

    I'm essentially sticking to the diet that I done a few years ago but
    as you can see I've only lost 2lbs in 2 months. Ketostix are still
    purple and I'm drinking plenty water.

    I'm starting to get really frustrated about this now and considering
    packing it in. I logged about a weeks worth of my typical diet in
    fitday (minus the wine, only done that once in 2 months).

    http://www.fitday.com/WebFit/PublicJournals.html?Owner=danlo%5Fthe%5Fwild

    As you can see I'm probably not eating my 10 x 214 calories per day
    although as an experiment I did eat about 2000 a day for 1 week and it
    didn't make any difference.

    I'd be really grateful for your expert advice on this.

    Thanks in advance

  2. Other folks on this NG will be able to help you specifically after reading
    your FitDay menus...I just have my own experience to share. I started LCing
    last summer and lost 20 pounds really quickly, without much exercise. Then
    I stopped LCing for ten months after moving overseas - luckily, I didn't
    gain those 20 lbs back during this time. I started again in June, but the
    weight is not falling off my body like it was last year. I don't know why,
    it just isn't.

    In July, I started an exercise routine, and the scale is moving again. Not
    nearly as quickly as last year, but it's happening. Measuring tape is
    showing changes, too.

    To sum up my experiences - 1. My second time LCing has not seen the
    dramatic weight loss of my first time; and 2. This time, I have to devote
    myself to exercise if I want to see any weight loss

    Hope this helps

  3. Thanks Staci,

    It's almost like the low carb diet doesn't have the same "shock" factor on
    the metabolism that it did the first time.

    I go back to eating carbs and the body says "OK no problem back to burning
    glucose" when i go lowcarb the body says "Hey no problem I can do ketones as
    well"

    I don't do much exercise (maybe i should, didn't have to the last time
    though) apart from walking about at work.

    bingo!

  6. Thanks for the reply.

    Accoring to various sources I'm allready eating too little!! I'm only eating
    on average 1700 calories per day. A man of my weight should be eating approx
    2000 just to keep the basal metabolic processes running.

    I've tried eating more, eating less and doing some excercise.

    Any other ideas?

  7. I've found that most of the time this "eat so many calories per pound"
    theory is incorrect. It might be proper to calculate calorie consumption
    based on your goal weight, but I found that if I eat even 8 calories per
    pound of bodyweight, I will gain weight. I am currently eating about 7-8
    calories per pound of my goal weight, and I am losing weight quite steadily.
    If you eat the right foods, this is a lot of food to eat. Many days I am
    even below this level without being hungry. Try to maintain about 3-5% of
    your calories as carbs, 20% as protein, and the rest as fat. Too much
    protein can also cause issues. I've lost about 55 pounds in 5 months doing
    this, and this is without any regular exercise workout. Although, I have
    been very physically active this summer. As fall approaches, I suspect I
    will have to get back into my workout routine as time permits.

  8. Thanks Chris,

    I'll try about 7 x bodyweight and see how that goes. That will have me
    eating about 1500 calories per day.

    To be quite honest this should be quite easy for me because I was really
    having to force myself to eat even 1800 a day, I was literally forcing
    myself to eat when I wasn't hungry just to keep the calories up to 1800 a
    day. It just didn't fell right to me!!!

    When I lost 40lbs a few years back I don't remember counting calories, I
    just ate until I was full. That seemed to do the trick for me then but I
    tried that this time for about 3 weeks and barely lost a pound (even on
    induction).

    Was considering doing the "Fat Fast" for a few days but I think I'll leave
    that for a last resort.

    Appreciate the advice.

    Good idea. The 10x rule doesn't work for many people. It is generally
    considered a starting point, and if it doesn't produce result, you drop back
    on number at a time, ie, 9x, 8x, etc. until you get results.

    What kind of exercise are you doing? Walking is fine, but if you really
    want to kick things up a notch or two, consider some form of resistance
    training - weight lifting at the gym would be the first best option, but
    some weights at home or just some bodyweight movements would be a big help.
    Do that in addition to walking.

    Hi everyone,

    Hi Danlo, welcome to the group!

    Quoted message said:

    So back to the present, I decided to go back on Induction about 2
    months ago weighing 216lbs. Stuck to induction rigorously for 2 weeks
    and I lost about 1 pound if I was lucky (was in ketosis from about day
    3). Have increased the carbs slightly by adding more vegetables and
    had one slight blow out when I had a few too many glasses of red wine.

    I haven't been in the situation of straying for a long period of time and then
    returning, so I don't have much to offer in that respect, and I lose very slowly
    in ANY case. Have you been checked out by a doctor lately? It's possible you
    have increased insulin resistance (Jenny knows WAY more about that than I do).
    We also have someone here who had a sleep disorder that kept her from losing
    weight for a VERY long time, but she started losing when she elevated the head of
    her bed and subsequently slept more soundly. Also, exercising DOES make a
    difference. When I exercise less overall (which has been the case for me over
    the last 8 weeks due to some physical issues), I lose even MORE slowly.

    Hi everyone,

    I've been lurking in this group for a while now so I thought it was
    time to introduce myself.

    Im a 34 year old male 5'8" and currently weigh in at 214lbs

    I started Atkins about 3 years ago and had some considerable success
    having lost approximately 40 lbs over 8 months. I was reasonably happy
    with that loss and I balanced the diet so that I was maintaining that
    weight. Approximately a year ago I lost the path slightly and the
    pounds started to creep back on :-(

    So back to the present, I decided to go back on Induction about 2
    months ago weighing 216lbs. Stuck to induction rigorously for 2 weeks
    and I lost about 1 pound if I was lucky (was in ketosis from about day
    3). Have increased the carbs slightly by adding more vegetables and
    had one slight blow out when I had a few too many glasses of red wine.

    I'm essentially sticking to the diet that I done a few years ago but
    as you can see I've only lost 2lbs in 2 months. Ketostix are still
    purple and I'm drinking plenty water.

    I'm starting to get really frustrated about this now and considering
    packing it in. I logged about a weeks worth of my typical diet in
    fitday (minus the wine, only done that once in 2 months).

    http://www.fitday.com/WebFit/PublicJournals.html?Owner=danlo%5Fthe%5Fwild

    As you can see I'm probably not eating my 10 x 214 calories per day
    although as an experiment I did eat about 2000 a day for 1 week and it
    didn't make any difference.

    I'd be really grateful for your expert advice on this.

    Thanks in advance

    Danlo

    Thanks for the reply.

    Accoring to various sources I'm allready eating too little!! I'm only
    eating
    on average 1700 calories per day. A man of my weight should be eating
    approx
    2000 just to keep the basal metabolic processes running.

    I've tried eating more, eating less and doing some excercise.

    Any other ideas?
