Sheesh -- at the rate you're losing weight, you'll be at your goal by the end of the week! Great job -- unbelievable.

Now, please give us some tips! Here's a bit of background about my last five weeks: I've cut out carbs to practically nothing per day, but have only lost 11 to 12 pounds over the past five weeks. It seems as though besides adding more exercise, I should increase my fat intake, as well, since it seems like I lose the most weight when I eat the most fat.

Have you experienced this?

Any tips will be much appreciated. (I've never been much of a junk food or meat-eater so there's no problem there.).

Losing 11 to 12 pounds over a five-week period is nothing to be disappointed about! You are doing great. Prior to losing 4.4 pounds this past week, I lost only 0.4 pounds the week before and 1.4 pounds the week before that. It varies.

I've been losing at least some weight every week since April. I'll take 0.4 pounds a week and not complain, so long as it keeps going down and not back up.

I have noticed that I seem to lose more weight when I eat more fat. But there is a point of diminishing returns. As well, I hardly lose any when I eat too little. Evidently eating too little slows down your metabolism. When I hit that middle ground - between eating too little and eating too much, I lose the most. But I just haven't figured it out yet. Sometimes I hit it and sometimes I don't. This past week, I did!
