Please help me!
Dear all,
Please help me. I am so frustrated and tired and have just joined this site to try and get some answers.
I have PCOS and currently weigh 262 pounds (119.3kg). I have been on a low carb diet (25 to 40g of carb) since 18th August 2008, and officially started Atkins 58 days ago, restricting myself without fail to a strict 20 g or less ofs carb and the allowed foods for the induction phase.
Since August, my total weight loss has been around 18 pounds. Compared to this length of time, my low fat weight loss after this many weeks will usually be about 24 pounds or more.
I have not had a steady weight loss and seem to lose, gain, remain the same. This morning, I gained 1.34 pounds even though I had a brilliant week.
I drink 3 litres of water daily, and exercise very hard, four times a week without fail, burning an average 700+ calories in exercise and 55% fat, as I target my fat burning zone.
On average, I would have boiled eggs and salad for breakfast, fish and salad for lunch, snack on cheese and cooked meat, and have grilled fish or meat with loads of steamed dark green vegetables for supper.
I just don't know what to do anymore. I am thinking of re-introducing blueberries this week, and increasing my carbs to 25g as I don't think the induction 20g has really worked for me. I am also thinking of eliminating cheese from this week as it is the only new introduction in my diet until I started Atkins (I was a low fat junkie).
Have you experienced similar? How did you get back to consistent weight loss? Is there anything I should be doing? Any suggestions please?
Thank you very much.
KG xx
