very low carb
iv been stalled for about a month now , i tried lowering calories to 600 for a couple of days then tried upping calories nothing worked , what do you think about lowering carbs to 20 or less ????? i heard it will shed pounds but will bring them back sooner or later when i introduce carbs back in to my diet... will 40 carbs or less start weight loss again... i dont count carbs , i lost all 93 pounds with out counting carbs just counting cals.
Why not do the simple - put your scale away for a few weeks and really focus on what you're eating. Are you weighing and measuring? Logging? Are you suffering from portion slippage?

Cut your carbs to 40 or below. Carbs should come from veggies--leafy green, radishes, cucumbers. Not starcy or sugary ones such as corn or peas. Eating carbs will make you crave more carbs. Stick to a high protein (100 grams) low carb & fat (less than 40), 64 oz or more of water and take your vitamins.

your within 10 lbs of your goal maybe your body likes the weight its at, i would be thrilled to be within 10 lbs of goal
I have hit many plateaus since starting this journey in 2008 and each time, I have cut my carbs down below 20 gms, never counted fat or calories and I always broke my plateau. It helped me get my head back in the game and the scale moved. I'd do it for 14 days and I would be back on track and then I'd up my carbs to 60 gms.
One thing, I have started is Carb Cycling. I only eat GOOD carbs once a week for the first 2 meals of the day. I'm losing and happy about it!
