LCHF - 3 weeks in, not much lost...

[rturner]

Hi all

I've been doing LCHF for three weeks now and I've lost less than 2 pounds! I am persevering, but what am I doing wrong?

Breakfast - handful strawberries/raspberries with yoghurt

Lunch - chicken salad

Dinner - 'Deli' plate of few slices of ham and/or chicken and/or cheese and/or egg mayonnaise plus a few cherry tomatoes.

No snacks, maybe a few spoonfuls of double cream at night if I fancy a dessert.

Drinks - tea (with splash of milk, no sugar), or low sugar orange squash.

Thanks

Might be worth posting this on the Atkins board for advice - there are a lot of experienced people there.

My initial thoughts are that you don't seem to be eating much - but that depends on your portion sizes etc, worth logging food intake for a week in my fitness pal to get a better idea.

Artificial sweetners dont agree with some, but i dont think that would completely explain.

Also,I've put on a pound this week but lost half a percent of body fat and 2 inches off my waist - I'd much rather that! Make sure you're measuring! Good luck on your journey.
