So I've been back on Paleo (well, Paleo plus additional low carb factors like no fruit). Doctor recommended it as I am a type 1 diabetic and he said I can drastically reduce insulin requirements and normalize my blood sugars as well (ie bring them to those of a non-diabetic). Not bad for a type 1.

Thing is, first two, maybe three weeks, I lost almost 5 kilos. Then for the past 3 weeks I've been stationary. I'm about 176cm and 96 kg. I was, before the diet, obviously the same height, but almost 101kg.

Why have I plateaued? Its not like I've slimmed down (though obviously I have, as stomach size (visceral fat, inflamation, etc) has significantly reduced, but why the plateau? I would have expected it to continue for a while.

Diet is a good mix of meat and veggies. I probably eat more veggies than most on this forum (around 50 - 65% of each meal). Ironically, despite loving me some meat, I'd like to even increase the percentage of vegetables consumed.

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm reasonably fit, though not in tremendous shape (do regular exercise, physical training, etc).

Thanks,

Me

It happens to everyone.  When you start a low carb diet like paleo, you lose about 2-4kg water weight depending on what size you were to start with. 
Almost everyone starting paleo loses 5-10 pounds and their 'wheat belly' in the first 2-3 weeks, followed by slower steady weight loss.

The best way to monitor progress on paleo is fat % or tape measure.

In other news, how wonderful that your doctor recommended paleo!

Doctor is a type 1 diabetic (like me), and wants (like me) a normal life, with normal blood sugars, and no complications (glaucoma, gangrene, heart disease, etc). So he thinks outside the box. At the same time, he did approve milk, but recommends cream over whole milk and whole milk over skim. And also low-carb (due to the diabetes part).

When are you taking the insulin?  You need periods with no insulin in your system to lose weight.

Well, thought I'd check in here. Y'all who said it just slowed down are right. I'm dropping about a 1kg a week, which is good.

When am I taking insulin? Periods of no insulin in my system? No insulin in my system would be very bad for me, as the body releases a constant low level stream of glucose. As a type 1 diabetic, not having any insulin is, well, bad. I'm really confused by what you mean here, Warren.
