I console myself with the same thought – at least I’m not gaining. As I’ve kept more than 50 lbs off for 5+ years doing low carb, I know it works for me. I don’t see myself abandoning it, but rather adjusting it – but I can’t seem to find the exact combination of adjustments at present that work for me.

I’ll keep plugging away, though – what else can I do – give up?

Nah – not my style.

I am at the same frustrating point you are – struggled with the low carb, now just trying to eat healthy – can’t seem to lose no matter what i do – i even have a person trainer that comes 2 days a week – in 5weeks i lost 3 pounds – but i guess at least i did lose

Have you read Stephan’s posts on the Whole Health Source?

He has done a brilliant series along with some suggestions of what might lower the set point. Not sure if they work but they would be worth a try!
