Sounds like me -- I too can go into ketosis and not lose weight; I can go
into ketosis, count and keep my calories low, exercise, do weights and still
not lose weight. Often, I too have a low body temperatue -- sometimes down
into the 95 something range -- at least according to my thermometer. Yet
because of hot flashes I often feel hot. Go figure. My doctor says my thyroid
hormones are fine. Personally I am tired of obsessing about my weight -- it's
not worth the extra time I might live if thinner. It's ruining the time I'm
alive now. I figure all I can do is eat healthy, exercise, meditate, etc. and
enjoy life. My body is stubbornly hanging on to the excess fat -- maybe it
knows something m
