I'm new to low carbing and have been very strict with my carbs, sometimes consuming even less than 20 net carbs a day. This is not typical. I usually get btwn 18-20 net carbs a day. I have a bad habit of weighing myself every morning and started to see the weight come off. I think I'm in my 4th week? Anyway, in the last 2 days I've put on 3 lbs. I bought ketostix and they are the deep red so I know I'm in ketosis but I'm not really losing the weight. Since I'm not all the way through your book I was wondering  if I should be counting calories as well? I will give you an example of what I eat. Yesterday for breakfast I had 4 deviled eggs made with real mayonnaise, one packet of slenda, and mustard with an atkins shake. I caculated that to be about 6 net carbs. For lunch I ate at wendys and had 2 Jr bacon cheeseburgers no bun, with lettuce and mayonnaise. Dinner was 4 pork chops (they were small ones and I shared with my dog with fried cabbage. Am I eating too much protein?
