Rentawitch, you have been on Paleo since Jan 7th, basically 6 weeks. In that time you have lost 18 pounds (8kg). This means you have lost more than a kilogram (3lb) exactly for each week you have been on this diet and I think everyone would agree that is a good amount to lose per week.I think you need to look at it like that, rather than per week as overall weight loss is the goal is it not?

Your weight loss may have stalled for you, but at the moment that could be partly due to inaccurate scales. If this continues for another few weeks, then we can explore options such as lowering carbs, lowering calories, upping the exercise, even a 24 hour fast might be a good idea. Other ideas would be to see where your glucose/insulin levels are at, and explore cortisol and how we might be able to lower it (as you just came off a very stressful period, and the body does not just bounce back instantly).

On a side note, this thread is why I do not think counting calories is important:

oh dear I got a -1. I wonder who I have annoyed.

thank you.
I have read both those links. A lot of the things they mention could be down to high cortisol. the foggy thinking the weight gain, the tiredness.

Not really the right person to take up yoga or meditation.
I see some reference to a cream. But I would prefer to get there just with exercise and eating right. Do you think that is possible?

I do appreciate you taking all this trouble.

The negative feedback does bother me I'm afraid. I'm just made that way.
It would be better if people would actually say what they consider I did wrong.
But so be it.

Yeah, I hate it when people smite.

Usually the reasons why people do it are bad advice or thread hijacking.

Since the smiters are too CHICKEN to be DIRECT with me, I CHOOSE to believe that they meant to APPLAUD me but hit the smite button on accident.    Yeah! +9!

I only smite trolls and direct attacks. You have to really have it coming.

Friday 19th February

Breakfast - none

Peppermint tea
White tea with blackcurrant

Veal t bone 6oz with meat and fat discounting bone

I have been only eating when I'm hungry, finish when I'm sated; and my regimen looks a lot like yours above.

EDIT: Actually, I looked at my cron-o-meter and its like I eat 100% of my calories some days and 30-50% of them other days. I don't do it intentionally, it just happens that way.

Well that sounds good Lone_wolf thank you
I must admit the meat from this new butcher is so amazing that I am being greedy.

I shall probably have quite a few carbs tomorrow. I am having lunch with a dear friend who is rather elderly and apart from saying I don't eat tomatoes or cheese and don't drink alcohol, she could give me anything. I won't have much. I'll fill up on a good paleo breakfast before I go.

I shall carry on eating the meat and very little carbs.

Wish I could invite some of you guys to eat with me Sunday - I have a great rib roast!

Cheers!

did someone say rib? *starts hunting for car keys*

and stick with it, I've had a bad few weeks weight wise, but my belts gone in a hole. you may find some of it is just changes in body composition, I find the better guide is the mirror and tape measure
