HELP NEEDED ~ Stuck In A Yo-Yo Stall!!!

[chinadoll]

Usually I find I have gotten sloppy (like the past few months, if I an really honest with myself) I have also found that I can't lose on rung six. I really need to be at Rung Two to lose and with only very rare forays into rung four for berries and five for wine.

lower calories 1395 & carbs 20.3/12 veggies with my Fat 62%, Protein 32% & Carbs 5%, 102 oz of water for liquids!!!

my exercise this time of year is swimming daily here in my pool as it is limited due to nerve dammage from an motorcycle accident.

Are you losing inches? If you are losing inches, then you aren't in a "stall" because Dr. Atkins defined a weight loss plateau as 4 consecutive weeks without the loss of pounds OR inches.

As for doing the Fat Fast, you aren't a candidate for it because you are not so severely resistant to weight loss that you cannot lose any weight at all on Atkins.

Anyhow, you are on Rung 6 according to your stats. What is your current carb level?

Are you carefully measuring your foods?
Did your loss slow when you added a new food?

I have backed my carbs back to around 20 & I have not added any new foods, Iam eating more Induction level foods at the moment ~ Chicken, Ground Beef, Eggs, Butter, Mayo EVOO, lots Cauliflower, & Other Induction Veggies!!!

Before you retreated to Induction:

1. How many net carbs were your eating?
2. Which OWL rung were you on?
3. Did you notice your loss slowing with the addition of a particular food?
4. Were you still losing inches?

By the way, if you stop losing pounds/inches during OWL, there are 2 things to consider:

1. You've added a food that adversely effects your weight loss. Therefore, your first step would be to review your menu and remove whatever food you added at the time your weight loss slowed or stopped. If your loss picks up, then you've found a food you need to avoid.

2. You've found your CCLL. It's completely NORMAL to find your CCLL during OWL. In fact, that is one of your jobs during OWL---to find your CCLL. So if you increased to a carb level and you stop losing pounds and inches, go back to the last level in which you were losing. If you start losing again, then you found your CCLL. For example, you were eating 35 net carbs. The next week, you increased to 40 net carbs. You stop losing pounds and inches. So you drop back to 35 net carbs and you start losing again. 35 is your CCLL.
