http://LivinLaVidaLowCarb.com/blog blogger Jimmy Moore and his wife Christine hear from a lot of people who express their concerns about why they’re not losing weight. They identify 7 reasons why you may not be losing weight in the latest installment of their popular “Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb on YouTube” series.

In Episode 74, Jimmy and Christine touch on a few of the most common explanations for stalled weight loss or even weight gain. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but may include the reason you could be struggling with a seeming lack of progress on your healthy low-carb lifestyle.

7 REASONS WHY YOU MAY NOT BE LOSING WEIGHT
1. Too many carbs
2. Too few calories
3. Muscle growth
4. Too much protein
5. Medications
6. Too much exercise
7. Stress

Keep in mind that your body is constantly adjusting to any new changes you make in your diet and exercise routine, so your individual response to these changes will vary from what others experience. DON’T compare yourself to the progress you see other people are having and ALWAYS remember that livin’ la vida low-carb is about a permanent lifetime way of eating, not just some fad diet you’re on for a short period of time. Wrap your head around that concept and it will serve you well in your low-carb life.

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!

http://LivinLaVidaLowCarb.com/blog blogger Jimmy Moore and his wife Christine wanted to look at an important issue regarding why so many people seem to fail when they start on a low-carb (or ANY) diet in the latest installment of their popular “Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb on YouTube” series.

In Episode 67, Jimmy and Christine address those people who have written to them with concerns about “failing” on their low-carb diet because they have ONLY lost 12 pounds in the first two weeks and they expected to lose 25. These unreasonable expectations happen time and time again and they can play psychologically on anyone who becomes obsessed with what the scale tells them about their progress. But you gotta remember to celebrate the successes you have attained and that includes other things besides weight loss like your energy improvements and outstanding health. This video is a friendly reminder that having goals are great, but don’t let them rule you and lead to your diet demise.
