LLVLC On YouTube: 7 Reasons Why You May Not Be Losing Weight (Episode 74)

http://LivinLaVidaLowCarb.com/blog blogger Jimmy Moore and his wife Christine hear from a lot of people who express their concerns about why they're not losing weight. They identify 7 reasons why you may not be losing weight in the latest installment of their popular "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb on YouTube" series.

In Episode 74, Jimmy and Christine touch on a few of the most common explanations for stalled weight loss or even weight gain. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but may include the reason you could be struggling with a seeming lack of progress on your healthy low-carb lifestyle.

7 REASONS WHY YOU MAY NOT BE LOSING WEIGHT
1. Too many carbs
2. Too few calories
3. Muscle growth
4. Too much protein
5. Medications
6. Too much exercise
7. Stress

Keep in mind that your body is constantly adjusting to any new changes you make in your diet and exercise routine, so your individual response to these changes will vary from what others experience. DON'T compare yourself to the progress you see other people are having and ALWAYS remember that livin' la vida low-carb is about a permanent lifetime way of eating, not just some fad diet you're on for a short period of time. Wrap your head around that concept and it will serve you well in your low-carb life.

Hey Jimmy quick ? Is there such thing as eating to much fat? I am eating on average about 168.5g fat per day which is about 67%. Protien is 149g at about 28% and carbs are at 32.5g at 5%. Are these good levels to be at? Please let me know your thoughts.. thanks

Nope, but there is such a thing as too much protein. And while your fat and carbs are in a good position, you really need to back off a bit on the protein to get it down closer to 20% of total calories.

If you'll recall from this video and the one we did on gluconeogenesis, excess protein turns into sugar in the body through the liver. Moderating your protein intake keeps this from happening and you replace the protein with more fat.

Keep your carbs where they are and add more fat. :)

Jimmy thanks for this video. Man have I ever missed some great information since the last time I had my home computer. It's amazing what one can miss in just a few weeks. I may fall under the too much protein or not enough fat intake. This past month I lost 25 lbs. but I felt like I didnt' because I stopped walking and I feel lazy....Have a great one..

Small tweaks can make a BIG difference!

great info!

Sure, although I never said they were "unhealthy" ever. But when you mix in carbohydrates with fat, that's a dangerous combination for your heart health because of the carbs. That's why restricting your carb intake is critical because fat becomes passive in the absence of carbs. When you introduce carbs, they lead your weight and health down a path of self-destruction. The only fats to avoid are trans fats.

Please explain how they are healthy when you eat low carb, but unhealthy if you aren't eating low carb.

[livinlowcarbman]

Fat, coconut oil, lard and all sorts of saturated fats are extremely healthy for you when you are limiting your carbohydrate intake. EVOO is overrated.

THANKS for your comments. We never claimed muscle growth alone would stall your weight, but it can be a contributing factor. I appreciate your feedback!
