Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / May 2006In ketosis with no weight loss
Ok I've been on a diet for 2 weeks and lost no weight. I am 5'6” and at 170lbs. For breakfast I have a 210 calorie low fat yogurt and a 240cal boost shake. I skip lunch because I'm not hungry. I also do on average 1 hour of moderate work and sit in front of the computer the rest of the day working. Dinner I have two 100 calorie potatoes with no topping, some nights I'll have a 230 calorie energy bar. I lost not a single pound in two weeks of this diet. I used to consume 2500-3000 calories of pizza and fast food daily. How can I drop nearly 2000 calories with no changes? Before dinner I measure my ketones that is always 15 pink. I drink a lot of water and the urine is clear. It never showed any pink before the diet so I have to be in ketosis? Why is the weight staying? Thanks. -- --------------------------------- --- -- - Posted with NewsLeecher v3.5 Beta 7 Web @ http://www.newsleecher.com/?usenet ------------------- ----- ---- -- - > Ok I've been on a diet for 2 weeks and lost no weight.

I might be wrong in saying this, and someone please correct me if I am, but it was my understanding that on a low-carb diet one must eat enough high-protein, low-carb food to cause the body to burn up enough fat to liberate the stored carbs so the body can then process the food you've eaten. If you don't eat enough, then you might be eating enough carbs to process what else you've consumed. For me, I try to eat no less than three pounds of meat per day. At first I didn't lose any weight but I did feel slimmer. Now the weight is coming off 1 lb per day.  SignatureMDS (Mister Doctor Sir) Three pounds of meat is way too much.

SignatureMDS (Mister Doctor Sir) You can't eat two potatoes and be in ketosis. You need protein and fat, lose the boost shake whatever that is an egg a couple of eggs. For dinner have some kind of meat and a nice big salad. In news:acO7g.3273$923.3234@trndny02, norco <norco@watson385.com> stated | Ok I've been on a diet for 2 weeks and lost no weight.

Ron M. > Yeah, this guy's not on low carb, he's on high carb. > > Ron M. :-) The subject line made me think of a story Roger Zoul told recently here (I think it was him), about a woman who actually *gained* weight while in confirmed ketosis.... this mystified the Atkins people when they heard about it, so they brought this chubby lady for labs and tests and to watch what she ate.... turns out a favorite bedtime snack of this lady was a stick of butter sprinkled with cinnamon, if I remember correctly.
