Diet and Natural Weightloss

My doctor advised me to try low carb after having a baby and suffering a back issue which is aggravated by carrying extra weight.

I’ve lost 3 1/2 stone so far (49lbs) but for the last 6 months my weight has completely stalled. I lose the same few lbs then put them back on again in a cycle.

I really dont want any comments from ignorant people about how bad low carb diets are…the body can burn fat for energy, which is what it’s designed to do, our bodies evolved to their current state before we ever developed agriculture, so actually a diet low in grains and starches is the optimal and most natural diet for us so please no answers about that.

I feel great on a low carb diet, great energy levels, great mental clarity, generally feel very healthy but my back has gone again (i have a malformed disk) and i need to lose at least another stone if not two to mimimise the strain on my back.

So my question is….any of you seasoned Atkin’s/ low carbers out there who can advise on how to get over the stall/plateau?

I generally eat between 25 and 45 grams of carb a day in the form of salad, green veg, salad veg and dairy. I eat a very healthy diet of homecooked organic food and drink plenty of water. I drink herbal teas and have decaff tea with whole milk (which i include in my carb count)

It’s really depressing to stick to the way of eating, need to lose the weight and it just not budging!!

Advise please please please!!!!!!!

But please no anti-low carb answers or acai berries or people selling their diet.

So I am about 5′10, used to be upwards about 246 lbs last year. Then When 2008 started, i started dropping weight really fast.. i dropped about 30 lbs in 3 months, then 20 the next month alone, then regained about 4 lbs, then I dropped about 10 lbs over the summer.. and now it’s getting more difficult. I joined the gym in september, but only lost 7 lbs in over a month and a half, even though I’ve been working out as much as i can there [way more than in the summer] and my diet has only gotten better (i used to eat breaded foods but I’ve even cut those out, and eat healthier more natural foods now than when i started]. Is it getting harder because I’m now lighter than i was when i started? [at 181 now...] or am I doing something wrong?
