November 13, 2009, Newsletter Issue #193: Ketosis without weight loss?
Tip of the Week
It is a common situation on Atkins diet that people are in ketosis but the scales just refuse moving. The first thing to do is measure your waist, hips, and neck. If any of these circumferences shrink, you are losing fat while gaining muscle: muscles are heavier, inch for inch.
However, if you are not losing inches, cut down on protein and add some good fats, for instance olive oil, to your meals. Research revealed that fatter meals result in more intensive fat burning at rest.
If this measure doesn't work, the last step is to try the fat fast. The fat fast is 90% fat and 10% protein, plus limiting calorie intake to 1000 Cal. a day.
