Update -- no weight loss.  The rest of the team?

I have been very lax about carb intake as you know -- no grains, no sugar, and only berries but over 30 carbs a day.  In fact, I don't count carbs, which was fine because it was the first week.

After a week, however, I have not lost even a half pound, not even water weight.  So I decided that I'm going to "restart" on Monday and keep under 20 grams a day so I can really give it a try.  First, I am going to enjoy mother's day with my favorite apple/celery juice and almond/coconut pancakes with stevia and cream cheese -- still no grains, sugar, or carb-heavy foods since the cravings are gone and I don't want them back.

This first week wasn't hard at all for me (heavy cream in coffee -- who can go wrong?) but if ketosis means that the fat "melts" away, that is not happening.  Thinking about what I've been eating -- creamy coffee, butter soaked eggs, avocado fried in avocado oil (yum!), I'm surprised I'm not gaining weight.

I do feel better, less tired and stronger, and I "feel" thinner but I'm not losing weight.  The weirdest part is that I am calorie counting and I think I should be losing weight -- at least something since I'm doing the two 600 calorie days.  And my son "Lego Jr" and husband think I look better too.

If the 20 grams carb count week doesn't work, the week after, I'll eliminate nuts and dairy which have been my week spot -- I soak nuts in hot water and add cream and make "cereal".   It's filling my cereal craving.

I think to lose weight in ketosis, there needs to be some calorie counting and I didn't take it seriously enough.

Has anyone else lost weight?[/quote]
