Low carb eating / weight loss...last 20 pounds won't budge?
I have been low carb eating for a year now. I feel great and I have lost 40 pounds, but have 20 more to go. The last 20 pounds does not seem to want to budge! I have stepped up my cardio and workout program, cut fat a bit and increased my water intake. I have also cut back on low carb 'dessert' treats ( which I really didn't have alot of anyways) and substituted more fresh low carb veggies. I have practiacally stopped drinking any coffee or diet sodas and have very little artificial sweeteners (I can't go totally without anything sweet). I do realize that I am gaining a little muscle, but I still have belly fat and a little back fat that I seriously need to lose. I do not have an unrealistic goal, it's where I was before I let myself go so to speak. I am 5' 5" and want to get back to 125. Does anyone have any suggestions?

you need to lower your carb rate a bit even zero for a few days to get the burning rate back up sounds like you have added just enough back in to feel comfy but then it turned down the lose rate

Low Carb Diet Secrets Revealed!
You may be considering a low carb diet program, but wonder if they really work, and if so, how well?
Let's take the mystery out of low carb diets by giving you the 3 most important elements to their success.
First, you need to bring your carboydrate cravings under control. Some diet programs argue that most of us are addicted to carbohydrates. Others take a more moderate approach and link it to the glycemic index.
All of the low carb diets are consistent on this one fact though - you need to overcome short-term cravings to ensure long term weight loss success.
There is definite scientific proof linking simple carbohydrates, such as sugar, to cravings you have for more food.
Second, you need to focus on better carbs versus the worse carbs. What that means is simply that you must consider which carbohydrates result in more glucose spikes being created by your body.
Simple carbs are quickly absorbed and result in significant glucose spikes which, can result in more fat being stored in your body. Low carb diets balance overall carbohydrate input with the quality and type of
carbohydrates.
Just by reducing the simple carbs in your diet such as sugar, milk, some fruit you can make a big difference in curbing your cravings for more food.
Third, you must gain confidence in the delicious foods you are able to eat on low carb diets so that you stick with the change. You cannot expect to achieve long term success with your diet program if you are not educated or satisfied with the amazing alternative foods at your disposal.
Low carb diets can lead to weight loss, health benefits and an entire lifestyle change - however you don't have to give up everything you enjoy in order to experience rapid weight loss.
By focusing on foods that trigger chemical and biological reactions in your body resulting in cravings, you can burn fat and increase your health at the same time.
