I'm frustrated. After a few days of great losses the scale isn't moving. It's gone up in fact and seems to have parked itself at a very unsatisfactory number. I'm doing something wrong.

But I'm more determined than I've ever been before. Maybe it's just the time. Maybe it's your support. Maybe I'm doing it for my little baby. I'm not going to give up.

So we're tweaking and tuning and trying to find the right path. I'm thinking that in my excitement to diet I've overzealously cut out too many carbs. The program I'm following "The Slow Carb Diet" calls for a helping of carby (and fiber-y) legumes for at least 2 of the 3 meals a day. And I've completely ignored legumes so far. Truthfully, I've been feeling sated on just protein, fats and veggies- but then again my system is messed up. I already knew that.

So I'm adding some hearty lentils to a stew for dinner tonight (into the crock pot- so easy!). I'll sprinkle some peas onto my lunch steak, and hope, hope that it'll change things. Because I'm not throwing in the towel.

Go wayfe go. Go wayfe go.

For so many of the reasons discussed in all the articles and documents I link to.

And maybe it's because the conventional diets just aren't working.

Yes, I know studies can be flawed. But they're definitely more objective than one single human mind's opinion.

It's that time of the week again. Please update the WIKI.

Now it's my turn to cry. I lost almost 0 this week.

I think many of us are in the same boat... Maybe it's something about week 2 when your body gets used to the new diet.

Week 2 is always the hardest week.

This thread is too quiet lately and many members didn't weigh. We gotta make some noise!

Are you guys still on the program?

Sure we are!! IIRC two of the members are traveling so they are not to be found anywhere, but we are (somewhat) active on whatsapp.

Low carb or low calorie?

BTW @Vanilla, you're not missing out on anything. Most of the time we only post screenshots of our weights. Sometimes I whine about cheating on the diet, I'm looking for support (that doesn't arrive

), or Sammy82 tells us about his nutritionist that doesn't allow exercise!
