i don't know, but the same thing happened to me when i first went on Atkins.
I lost 12 pounds in the first month, then nothing at all for two more
months, even though i was sticking to the diet and in ketosis and not cheating.

if you're talking about NeanderThin, don't do it like this.  it's not the
kind of diet you can go off and on.  when you go off, the weight will come
back.  you have to stay on it.
my weight loss on NeanderThin sort of followed a stair-step pattern: like
i'd lose 4 or 5 pounds in a week, then nothing at all for 3 or 4 weeks, then
a couple more pounds would come off.

stick with it,
JoAnn.
