Unhappy Heavy Ketosis, but Gaining Weight??????
permalink
Hey everyone... I'm new here. I was just wondering if anyone has experienced my dilemma. I did Atkins back in 2000 and lost 34 lbs. in ONE MONTH!!! I of course gained about 120 lbs after that (believe it or not) and I started Atkins back up again. I'm in HEAVY ketosis, and have lost 6 lbs. since April 28. It is now May 13, 16 days later (over 2 weeks) and thats it. I went down to 249.8 on my scale Saturday and its now Wednesday and I'm at 255.6!!!! WTH??? I don't understand it. I've been doing 45 min. of cardio since I've started a day, so nothing changed there. I'm eating less than 20 gm of carbs (not even net carbs) a day. This is when I feel like quitting because trying hard and failing is so frustrating. Does anyone know what is happening and why I'm gaining and not losing? Has anyone had a bad 2nd and 3rd week and then lost more? Should I just wait it out?
