STALLS: Your body or your eating?

[RaginCajun 177]

Hi Sleevers-

We see many posts regarding weight loss stalls here.

I am curious to know if most of you who have experienced or are experiencing a stall, believe that this is just a response of your body or do you believe it relates to changes in the food you are eating.

Having been on the Atkins diet for many occasions in my life, and having loved it, the best part of the diet was to use Keto-sticks as a measurement device each day to know if your body is in a state of ketosis, which means you should be losing weight.

Since the primary diet for weight loss surgery patients is essentially the same Atkins diet (high-protein, low-carb) our experience should be very similar to being on the core Atkins diet.

My question to those of you who have problems with weight loss stalls, is if you are using the Keto-sticks to prove that your body is still in a state of ketosis. Alternatively, do the Keto-sticks show that your body is not in a state of ketosis?

My interest is to find out if those of you experiencing weight-loss stalls, is your body still in ketosis, and the weight loss has paused?

Or, is the situation that your carb count has risen, and your body is not in ketosis, and that perhaps is the reason for the stall?

If you have experienced a weight-loss stall, and have been using the Keto-sticks, please respond here and let us know the situation. Is it your body, or is it what you're eating?

Great question, I'm curious to know since I just bought some ketosis sticks last week

i know for a fact my stalls are due to meal choices and my body adjusting to surgery finally (so both). i'm under an extreme amount of stress lately (the worst in my life to be honest) and because of that i've been finding myself emotionally eating, something i haven't done in MANY years.

i am interested in ketosis measuring and sticks too. hmm.
