3rd Day, no weight loss, no ketosis

[gtcharland]

Hi everyone,
I'm glad to find this support page. It's already helped. I'm going to stick with this for 14 days before throwing in the towel!

Glad you like the page. It is not unusual not to see things happen the first 3 days. It can take more days to get into ketosis. Make sure you are only drinking water and that you are eliminating all sugars (hidden sugars) from your diet. Fats are often a key so don't skimp on those either.
Good luck. Hope you will not need to throw that towel. Ask away if you are wondering about some thing.

Hello Welcome aboard! maybe you want to post what you eat in the "review my menu" section.......

I think one of the most common mistakes is definitely not eating enough fat. LIBERALLY include fats in all your meals. It is the ratio of high fat to low carb that puts you into fat burning mode.

You can do it.

good luck on your weight loss

Welcome to the board!

Please don't let impatience keep you from doing the best thing you can do for yourself. Sometimes it takes a little tweaking of the diet to get to where you are losing weight. Are you maybe eating too much cheese? I had to cut back on it because it was stalling me, so just try a few adjustments and see what happens.

Good luck and keep up posted on your progress.

Don't give up! Give it a fair shot, really you won't be disappointed. I am post menopausal, and it should be hard for someone like me to loose, but it hasn't been at all. Just follow it closely to a T and you will find successes of your own. there is much wisdom to be doled out here on this board. I love it here and am so glad that we are all headed towards the same goals.

And, keep in mind the first few days people tend to eat more than they need because they are battling the carb cravings as they withdraw. Hang in there and see what a full 14 days will bring. You may be pleasantly surprised. Drink your water, eat your fat and veggies and you will do fine.

Thanks to all for your kind suggestions. I have lost 6 lbs. now. Which may not be dramatic but is SOMETHING!
I'll add more fat to my meals.

Congratulation on your 6 lb. loss! That's great!

Maybe you should consider moving up to rung 1 now because, for a lot of people, the extra veggies help speed things up. If it doesn't, you could go back to induction. Just a suggestion.

Congrats again and keep up the good work!
