Hi, I just signed up here.

Stephen · Hi, I just signed up here.

I have been following a low carb lifestyle for most of the last 4 years (except for a brief time that I switched to the low GI diet which was a disaster). I was diagnosed with metabolic syndrome.

I started out with Atkins and initially lost about 35 pounds. I got to a point where I could no longer lose weight so I worked on maintaining for several years. I have tried going back on induction several times without any additional weight loss. Two months ago I started the induction phase again but with calorie restriction (1500 calories). I had gained 14 pound even though I was eating low carb. The first 6 weeks I lost 18 pounds but the last two weeks there has been no weight loss. My diet varies from Atkins in that I more closely follow a low carb version of a nutritional approach based on The Weston Price Foundation http://www.westonaprice.org/splash_2.htm (native nutrition).

Welcome aboard,glad to see you here! A fellow Syndome x'er LOL

I to am a huge fan of the Weston Price foundation. I don't agree with all her(Sally Fallon) dietary recommendatiosn,but the premise of getting back to just good ol' food and eating the way of our ancestors and so called 'primitive tribes" is golden in my book.

Good to have you here!
