Been eating mostly moderate to low carb paleo for two years. Went down from 188 lbs to 164 pretty quickly, but last fall, Halloween through Thanksgiving and Xmas, I gained ten pounds back. Since New Year I've been keeping that weight on with occasional cheating (dipping the occasional almond in honey, bits of chocolate or a date now and then, and cheese). Decided not only to stop the cheating but to go Atkins-style low carb paleo for a while. The ketostix have been showing low to moderate ketosis for two weeks now, and I've been doing a hard weight workout every two or three days, but I haven't lost a single pound. Anyone else experience this sort of difficulty? Atkins is really supposed to work and I've been able to lose weight before. I'm eating a fair amount of fat, but that's what Atkins says to do, and he doesn't say to count calories. One thing I'm wondering about is why my basal body temperature is so low (96.8 F) I'm 5 ft. 10.5 inches and probably about 17 percent body fat, so I'm not too overweight, but would like to be more lean, under ten percent, so would like to weigh under 160 lbs. I'm a guy, by the way, in spite of the name Hilary (which used to be exclusively a man's name, but now it's pretty much just me!). Hilary McClure Danville, Vermont
