Is it possible that the processed meat is full of salt & MSG and she is retaining water?

Yes it is.But as women our weight flucuates so much its hard to say(periods,menopause).I am a salt addict and it doesn't cause me a problem but my girlfriend looks at a salt grinder and her ankles swell! I think Jo should look at that as a possiability.

Umpa  I think it is the SF candies , Umpas PB cookies that I like too much & maybe just the fat from the processed foods . I know fats are not what makes us fat but too much of anything is not good that is what got us here in the first place. I am staying the course believe me because of the way I feel . My cloths are itting different even though I have not lost inchs / LBi in the last 2 weeks . I have shown keytones the whole time . NO salt does not affect me it does my husband thank God it doenst me because I love it. Thanks guys

Hi Jo, you've read it in the book, read it from my responses and heard me say it over and over. When you plateau STOP all sugar alcohols, get as close to zero carbs per day as you can and watch your portions. I guarantee the scale will move.  Time for you to get tough on FAT......KILL THE CARBS!!!!!!  ;)

I bet you're right Joagain. I can't do the SF Candies every week either or I just don't loose anything. It's like my body holds on to those sugar alcohols and doesn't want to let it go. I have had great luck with the Jello Mousse, I eat one almost everyday. You should also see if you have the No carb/ No Sugar land-o-lakes whipped cream at your grocery store. I love that on my mousse or anything!   ;)

I also notice if I have too many diet sodas I don't loose either. My Dr says you should try and drink half your weight in ounces of water a day...doesn't work in diet soda though. LOL

Just My 2 Cents...

It seems alot of us are eating as if were at our goal weight and expect to lose weight..Which is not the case....Even tho this is a lifestyle change and you can eat some great tasting foods it doesnt mean your gonna lose weight just because your not eating sugar...If your still trying to lose a lot of weight still you must not eat certain things!! Period!!..And in my opinion all the snacking on candies and cookies must go!!!...Stick to your meals and one snack...SF jellos, low carb breyers fudge bars..(because u know exactly how many carbs your getting)....Stay in porportions and you will lose weight..Its not a miracle this program you must work with it...If your where you want to be then add all these wonderful recipes and then keep an eye out on what your taking in without gaining weight...Or if you want to lose weight eating alot and snacking on SF things then expect to lose slowly or possibly maintain where your at...If you work out and just plan exercise hard and every day then just maybe you can eat all the goodies and still lose but if thats the case I dont think we would be here with a weight problem...I know its a dirty word DIET but in simple language you must do this..(restrict a li'll something, something) to lose the bulk of your weight...
Live each day as if it was on purpose.

I am now thinking that the sugar alcohols are what has held my loss back too! I need to rethink my menus and eating habits once again to get the scale to move.Can anyone give me a sample of their zero carb day?
Thanks
