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

A quick update on the south beach diet progress 
New day, New attitude! 
I performed my first low carb cooking demonstration and showed the world the wonders of the mock danish. Mock danishes were one of the new comfort foods that I learned how to cook and was used to kill cravings that threatened the diet early on. Some qualifications for Kent’s comfort foods were it had to be both easy and quick to make, and it could not have a lot of ingredients to prep. Most of the recipes, I will be demonstrating have my seal of approval for taste and ease in preparation …
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 …
Court outlaws testing for MadCow http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/30/business/30briefs-APPELLATEPAN_BRF.html?_r=1&oref=slogin A vegan is a person who does not consume any animal products. A vegitarian is someone who doesn’t eat meat. Many vegitarians consume dairy products and some eat eggs. Most vegans will not eat any meat, eggs, dairy, or even medication made from animal products. Most will not eat honey. I myself like honey and see it is a good natural alternative to sugar so on this point …
I am starting a new series of videos based upon the questions or comments I have received either privately or in the comments section. Each of these videos will be targeted to answering that question or issue in short, less than 3 minutes video. I am hoping that these videos can be used as a Frequently Asked Question about the Atkins Diet or Low Carb in general. In this video, I deal with a question I receive often. How do I start or restart the diet? I come up with three specific …
and the Pork Rinds… I go over the Acceptable Foods for Atkins Induction and Extended Induction phase and personal advice on how to have a successful Induction phase. Having a successful Induction phase of Atkins is so much more than just losing weight. It is about getting your eating under your control again, getting your blood glucose levels stabilized, starting to learn new healthy habits with food, and finally to experience the magic of ketosis to the person needing to lose weight …
