Low carb diets can reduce your metabolism. So initial weight loss then plateau. Why? Because you aren't burning fat as fast, due to the low metabolism, and also any extra caolories are squirrelled away much more efficiently than someone on a balanced diet.

As you are on the diet for medical reasons you probably need to check in with your doc. You might be able to have more carbs than you are presently.

A word of warning - if you up your carbs you might gain a bit first off before tracking downwards again, which is a bit scary.
