Hi fattibumbum,
I hope you don't mind me replying on this yread , i was reading one of ur post i can' t remember in which section it was - so i have hunted you dowm .lol - anyway you were asking why ur loss was slow and you mentioned ypu have arthritis??? I too have arthritis and take methotrexate, now i know it does say in the atkins book that some anti arthritis drugs can affect ketosis, i don't seem to be able to reach this- so of not in ketosis ur body will be in starvation which is completley different, this could be why the sloss loss of which i am experiencing aswell xxx good luck x
