If you just started the plan and you are not loosing i would review your journal and see if you are slipping somewhere. Unintentional mistakes happen - especially in the beginning. Are you taking any medications that may contain sugars? (Even NyQuil can kick you out of ketosis). Are you having too many extras (spry gym, Walden farms, Splenda, etc)? Are all your condiments 0/0/0 and contain no added sugars? (I unknowingly was using a soy sauce with sugar, some people use balasamic vinegar which contains sugar). Are you only having one restricted a day? Are you weighing all your veggies? Are you drinking enough water? (With everyone cup of caffeine beverage you need an additional cup of water). Are you taking all your supplements? Are you using meats with hidden sugars or non protocol spices (rotisserie chicken - except one kind from Whole Foods - has added sugars and usually contains MSG. Many people have it with no issues. but technically It is not protocol and can slow you. ). Are you only having two teaspoons of oil? If you have been on the plan for a while and all of a sudden stopped loosing to protocol i recommend mixing things up. If you are having a restricted eliminate it. If you are not having a restricted add one in. Also, if you have the same IP foods every day switch up the type of foods. Many people love and swear by Janevas cookbook. It is great and a huge life saver. Just make sure you are counting all the extras that are in the recipes (Walden farms, Splenda, etc). Also, some people can only have their occasional vegetables at one time. Many people have no issues having a few tomatoes every day in a recipe but if you are doing that and have small losses i wouldn’t recommend it.
