stalled your weight loss...
Hi everyone,
I'm just wondering if any of you would be willing to share a list of items that have stalled you (past or present)? I'm losing VERY slowly and my ketostix have gone from dark purple to cream for the past week and a half but I haven't changed what I've been eating or drinking.
I have lost 14 pounds in two months - one week of which has been a complete stall. I am grateful for that but I have a feeling there may be things stalling me. I'm hoping that I'm not metabolically resistant but weighing in at 315, I feel that I should be losing a lot faster than this.
It is my TOM as of today so I am trying to tell myself that I have been retaining water. I drink between 3-4 liters(100-140 oz) every day.
Going back to the possible stalling items I think mine may be the following:
Cream - I haven't had this often but maybe this kicks me out of ketosis when I have it on occasion.
Hermesetas sweetener - I use the mini tabs of this around 2 a day. I started using these years ago as I heard they were zero carb/calorie but read only today in DANDR that these are no good. I do have powdered Stevia in the cupboard that I can use instead (and count the carbs of if so)
Atkins bars - I only started having these about two weeks ago and I've had 4 since then. I've read other posts about these being the culprit and am more than happy to cut them out.
Cheese - I account for all of my cheese intake in terms of oz and carb content but has anyone experienced a possible stall from this?
Tea/Coffee - I sometimes have a cup of coffee or tea once a day (black coffee, tea with unsweetened soy). I usually only do this for a boost if I'm really tired as I work 14 hour shifts 5 times a week. I have noticed that I have caffeine sensitivity so don't have it too strong.
Cold cuts - I check for sugar and carb content on all of these but wondered if anyone has had any issue with these? Just incase I'm missing something. I usually use these for quick snacks at work.
Pork Crackling/Scratchings -I've had these a few times if I have a craving for something crunchy. Unfortunately celery is the only vegetable I can't tolerate so I can't munch on that without gagging! Anyone have any problem with these either? I know the sodium is high but I account for that too.
I'd appreciate any input you guys might have. I've been tracking everything I eat online (through sparkpeople) and it all looks ok so I'm a little lost on ideas
