My husband and I read the book and started two and a half weeks ago. We both lost lost 7 pounds after the first 3 days, then stalled. After being on this program for the past 2 weeks, strictly measuring our food, and staying under 20 net carbs a day (I average 10-15 net carbs a day and my husband averages 15-20 net carbs a day), I have only lost 1.8 pounds (1.2 pounds the first full week, and only 0.6 after this second full week) and my husband has only lost 2 pounds, averaging 1 pound a week. The other thing that is perplexing is that our breakfast and lunch are completely different and then we eat dinner together, so we aren't even eating the exact same things. I use a free food diary online that calculates my daily calories, carbs, sugar, fat, fiber, and potassium, so I know exactly how many net carbs I eat every day. Why did we both start out so good and now both of us have slowed so dramatically? Do we need to add exercise? I average 1,200 - 1,600 calories a day on this program (which is technically still within a typical calorie deficit for
weight loss), but should I cut back to lower calorie, low carb foods? We are both a bit frustrated and any insight would be greatly appreciated!
