Hi Jo!
When your body senses hunger, it will shut off ketosis.
This is quite normal in the mornings as we haven't eaten all night and our bodies know it.
My experience has been after eating something low carb first thing, the hunger gets "turned off" and ketosis will normally begin.
As you know, I too am a slow loser. So I can relate to how you feel.
I've tried most everything mentioned by Doug (and some others I'd thought of).
But I can't make my body lose any faster than it has been without jeopardizing my health.
But, you might try this an experiment.
Eat a little something light with your first cup of coffee in the AM to see what happens.
Each AM, I take vitamin supplements.
With those, I eat one GG Bran Crispbread with a little cream cheese, Beanit Butter, and/or SF jelly along with my first cup of coffee.
On other days, I'll have a low carb yogurt instead.
It's possible that eating something straight away in the mornings may not change your rate of
weight loss.
But it's worth a shot!
