Thanks but I don't see an answer to my issue in what you said. My question had nothing to do with my first time losing weight cutting carbs 30 years ago.
Since my question was basically asking what could have changed over a period of only a week or 2 that stopped my diet from working anymore as I've been hardly eating any carbs & has actually caused me to start gaining, now 10 lbs, in just a few weeks, all while having changed nothing in my life with regards to my diet or the use & exercise of my body. Nothing.
Is there nothing you can suggest? Surely there's something that's happening.

I've been very successful at losing weight by cutting carbs. I do my own version of an Atkin's diet. I do start each day with an Atkin's shake about 10am or so, along with some Diet Coke and a low carb cookie that I learned to bake myself.
I've gone from 222 lbs a year ago that happened to me after I'd gotten depressed after having an accident that makes me lost my balance unexpectedly, down to 175 about 6 weeks ago. But then it just stopped and trust me, I haven't changed a thing. I still ate the same low carb everything meals, no bread, no sweets, no rice, no beans, no corn, not much cheese or milk, no pasta, no carbs period.
I was hitting the LA Fitness 3-4 times a week doing light weight lifting and stretching along with 15-20 minutes of cardio on a stationary bike, hand bike and a treadmill. I've had to workout at home starting this past week since all gyms were closed due to COVID-19.
As far as I know, I've kept it below 20 grams or carbs/day which is the Atkin's ketosis Phase 1 that they say you should only do for awhile.
Here's how I know that something must be going wrong with what I'm doing. Back in the '80s I did this same Atkin's thing of my own and after doing ketosis for too long, my hair started thinning. But now, even though I'm 61, my hair is still thick s heck.
So, what can I do?

и как до такого можно додуматься )))

Re: Eat Fats, Cut Carbs to Reclaim Your Skinny Self:
 I'm eating healthy fats. Seen research online that butter is healthy too, as well as extra virgin coconut & extra virgin olive oils.
I'm drinking bulletproof coffee in morning with pure Stevia to sweeten.

I am also eating fats including butter and olive oil but it cannot suit my body. It shows some side effects like an upset stomach.

Hi, EdwardDailey!

If you find you cannot tolerate fats well, you may want to talk to your doctor. For example, conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can cause issues with processing fats. Medication can often help.

I hope you find a treatment that will help you.

Regards,
Tony
