Subject: Slow Weight Loss and Plateaus:
Thank you for your inquiry.

Firstly, do your best to be patient with your weight loss. You have
nothing to be concerned about. While some lose weight consistently

on
Atkins, others lose in stages. You are in ketosis so you are burning
stored fat for fuel.

You could be eating too much fat. While fat is necessary while
following Atkins, eating too much fat can delay weight loss. Your
body burns the fat you eat first, then the stored fat. If you're
eating too much fat, you will not give your metabolism a change to
burn the stored fat in the body.

Try reducing your fat intake slightly and see if that helps.


The first paragraph is at odds with the second. Atkins' site has some
glaring problems if one starts to look more closely.

Take care,
Carmen
