In this the second half of the stall series, I deal with what should be the reaction of those who aren’t losing inches or pounds for more than 4 weeks. Note: these are not for those that had a bad week or didn’t lose in the last two week.
Here’s a synopsis on what to try:
1. Take your measurements (make sure you are in a stall)
2. Start a food diary (Fitday, SparkPeople)
3. Evaluate what you are eating
4. Tweak exercise – “try 5″
5. Cut out certain groups (dairy, aspartame, caffiene, newly tried food groups)
6. Post your menu’s at online support group sites
7. Fasting diet (Fat Fast or Stillman’s Diet) for those with extreme metabolically resistance

http://LivinLaVidaLowCarb.com/blog blogger Jimmy Moore and his wife Christine decided to address the issue of calories and their importance on the healthy low-carb lifestyle in the latest installment of their popular “Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb on YouTube” series.
In Episode 71, Jimmy and Christine talk about whether it is the quantity of calories or the quality of the calories you consume that matters most when you are eating low-carb (or any nutritional approach designed for weight loss for that matter). Although fat has more than twice as many calories per gram as carbohydrate or protein, the nutrient-density of that fat calories will keep your appetite suppressed and hunger under control much more efficiently than consuming large amounts of carbs which actually stimulate insulin leading to hunger pangs shortly after eating them.
Jimmy cites a fantastic book written by low-carb physician Dr. James E. Carlson called “GENOCIDE: How Your Doctor’s Dietary Ignorance Will Kill You!” that you really ought to pick up a copy of for your personal healthy library:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FGenocide-Your-Doctors-Dietary-Ignorance%2Fdp%2F1419685821%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks%26qid%3D1212944946%26sr%3D1-1&tag=livilavidalow-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325
In Chapter 6 of his book, Dr. Carlson explains why the idea of “burning” calories is mistaken and that in the grand scheme of nutrition the calorie is completely irrelevant. One patient was eating 2,000 calories a day and exercising, but could not lose weight. Dr. Carlson switched him to a high-fat, moderate-protein, low-carb nutritional approach consuming upwards of 6,000-8,000 calories daily without changing his exercise routine and LOST weight. While many of the so-called health “experts” want to deny there is a metabolic advantage to low-carb eating, the fact is people CAN consume MORE calories (mainly fat and protein) and shed the pounds. It happens all the time to those of us who are livin’ la vida low-carb!

aka “Temptation, Visualization, Success… Oh My! (Part 2)” This video is the second in the Temptation Resistance series. Accountability is probably one of the most helpful suggestions I have for new dieters. Being accountable to oneself and to others absolutely helps fight the temptations. I was so much less likely to go offplan when I knew others were also around me looking for what a low carber really ate. So rather than being a negative, the cynics, which I readily admit I was at one …

In this the second of the “Quick Hit” series of videos, I deal with a question I receive often in the comments section or private message to me. “What do I do about gastronomic ailments, like Constipation or Diarrhea?” This might be a TMI (Too Much Information) episode. For Constipation, I recommend: 1. Adding ground flax meal into your diet in things like salad or other items (like mock danishes) 2. Consider Psyllium husks in form of capsules or powder (1-2 TBS per day). Note: Remember to …
