About 5 days ago I started going on a low carb diet. I'm not really eating packaged foods most of the time, so I doubt that I'm eating more carbs that I think that I am. I'm mostly eating whole foods that aren't processed and I ended up only loosing a pound, then I gained that pound back today, WTH? UGH!!!!

So, I've been eating the same thing almost every day. The only good thing about this way of eating is that I'm almost never hungry since I eat a lot of mostly lean protein and fats.

Up until today, I was eating some low fat lentil chips, only one or two servings of it a day as I love chips, but I kept my carbs in check and didn't go over 100 grams a day. I cut those chips out today and all chips except for some pork rinds that has nothing else in it except for sea salt and rosemary.

I cut the carbs even more by just limiting myself to one serving of low sugar fruit a day. Everyday I'd eat sugar free greek yogurt sweetened with stevia, some almond milk w/o sugar, chia seeds, stevia, low sugar fruit, and make a smoothie out of it.

I'd also eat one or two cans of tuna in oil which is still low in fat, and 3 TBS of sunflower seeds, some low sugar beef jerky, turkey cold cut with salad and two tablespoons of no sugar dressing, and last night, a pre portioned low fat beef patty with worchestire sauce and one serving of cauliflower and parmesan cheese.

For breakfast today I just had 3 pieces of low fat Applegate bacon and I absorbed the extra fat with a tissue, and one egg cooked in non stick cooking spray. I don't eat any corn, wheat, pasta, bread, oats, rice, beans, lentils (aside from the lentil chips until today), and no potatos of any kind, or most carbs except for one serving of low sugar fruit like kiwi or berries now, and up until today, just one or two servings of low fat lentil chips.

I still ate stevia flavored yogurt and cheese though. I might cut out dairy soon as I heard that leads to weight gain. I'm eating almost the same stuff everyday. And I'm not loosing weight! WTH? My only treat is the occasional diet pepsi which I know isn't good, but having one once in awhile shouldn't hurt, right? I'm sure that I don't go overboard on portions. I know what a portion size is.

I measure everything. I drink lots of water mostly. I don' exercise though. I need to loose 80lbs. This is extremely frustrating!

Has anyone else NOT been able to loose weight w/o exercise on a low carb diet? IF you DID loose weight, how long did it take you to loose weight? Also, did anyone notice your weight loss? If so, how much did you have to loose before that happened? Ten pounds? Twenty? I'm sure that no one will notice much difference until I loose at least 25lbs. maybe as I'm huge right now.

I'm only 5'4, but I'm 183-185lbs. at the Drs. office usually, and a size 12-14, ugh! And i used to be a size 4-6 and around 105-115lbs most of the time! This sucks!

I don't drink now and I get plenty of sleep. Why am I not loosing weight? I feel like I'll be fat forever no matter what! I cut out the chips today so my carb intake for today will be 70-80 grams. Last night I did eat a little late. I ate at 9, so maybe I'm retaining water from last nights salty dinner?
