Need pro advice!
I've been doing Atkins/keto since January 1 and have lost just 3lbs. I'm trying to be patient and "trust the process". I show trace ketos when I use urinalysis strips but I show no other sign of being in ketosis. I'm a 57 year old female and I workout about 3x/week. My macros seem to be within range so I don't know if I'm…

Women ages 50+ New to this and not losing. Help!
Help! I've been doing Atkins/low carb since December 26 and have only lost 3.5lbs. That's very discouraging to me. I think I'm following all the guidelines and staying within the allowed carb count. I'm even exercising several times a week. I feel like giving up already especially when I see the great results of others.…

Not enough protein?
Your thoughts and some feedback, please.- I've been eating lchf for 2 months and I think I have most things figured out.

Lost my Keto mojo
I knocked myself out of keto with my bananas foster dessert on Valentine's Day. Now, five days later, I'm getting only a trace reading on my keto test strips. I've been netting +/- 25 carbs since and my macros seem to be in line. Should I be worried or anyone have suggestions for me??

Trying so hard
Hey! I've been really trying to do Atkins/lchf for the past 3 weeks and I've only lost 3 lbs. I feel like giving up already. It's so discouraging to read about others' great results while I seem to be stuck. I'm staying within the allotted carb allowance and I'm even exercising. I feel like I've really screwed up my…

Try, try again.
Hey! I'm trying once again to lose about 25lbs. I started Atkins/lchf 3 weeks ago and I've lost only 3 lbs. I say "only" because I see other low carbers posting fantastic early results. I can't figure out why my results so far have been so minimal. I've feeling discouraged and I need help to stay positive and focused. Has…
