I have been using the ketosis sticks and I am in ketosis but my weight loss is very slow, is this because I only have about 20lb to loose??
Is being in ketosis mean your doing everything right??

I have been told that as long as you are in ketosis which we both are then we are doing it right and maybe we are losing inches rather than weight as this point.
I have lost in inches and my clothes are feeling better but they felt that way 2 weeks ago and have not got looser since so as far as I can tell I have no weight loss and no loss of inches.
I am logging what I eat as well and I am not cheating.
Getting frustrated.

Not necessarily. Being in ketosis what we want, but it doesn ' t mean you ' re doing everything right. It means you ' re eating the right things atleast. It doesn ' t tell you if you ' re drinking enough water, exercising enough, getting enough sleep, etc. All things that have an impact on your weight loss.
Most people don ' t drink enough water. The rule of [ / icon_thumright. gif] for water intake is take your body weight in pounds and divide it in half. Drink this number of ounces of water a day OR if it is less than 64, drink 64 ounces. Water is necessary for fat to be metabolized.
You don ' t have to go to the gym to get exercise. House work, walking, biking, anything that makes you get on your feet really.
Sleep is important, though not mention in the book, if I recall. General consensus is more sleep the better. I think 9 hours is recommended.
One other thing. Eat ATLEAST every 6 hours. Skipping meals does not help you at all. To keep your metabolism going strong, you need to feed yourself. Even if you ' re not hungry, eat just a little bit.

pink try not to miss meals it is really important on this diet to each 3 meals even if you just have a piece of cheese or something light it help speed up the metabolisim, skipping a meal will make your body hold on to fat.
