In this video, I deal with another viewer comment on why do people not lose weight or suffer weight loss stalls / plateaus. The first answer is “is it really a stall?”, “Have you lost any inches not just pounds?”, and “Have you not lost in more than 4 weeks?” If you satisfy these above question, this video is for you. Here is list of reasons that I go into in this video: 1.) Eating too many carbs (hidden carbs / underestimating) 2.) Undereating – starvation mode dieting 3.) Dehydration 4.) Overeating 5.) Too little exercise 6.) Stress 7.) Food Sensitivities / Candida In the next video I will touch upon your response. Here are some other good low carb resources: lowcarb4life.sugarbane.com www.lowcarb.ca They as well as years of helping others assisted me in making video

In the this video of the “Atkins Diet Quick Hits” series, I comment on a question I got from a well-meaning low carber. His question was on the amount of what he was eating. I took his question and ran with it though to a different topic. Starvation mode dieting is never good, and similar is zero carb dieting. I am pretty convinced that for most people going zero carb is an unnecessary step. Sure there are some very metabolically resistant and / or people suffering with hyperinsulinemia. For the most part, most people should be getting their veggies in and not fearing adding back a reasonable amount of carbs. Trying to discover what the magic number per day can certainly be trying, but your health will appreciate it. Thinking zero carbs is the answer also misses number of things: * phytonutrients without getting more chemicals * fiber-rich vegetables * carbs present in other non-veggie sources, like nuts, eggs, or cheese Unless you are really hyper sensitive to carbs, enjoy the variety of nature and food selection.
The number of obese women of child-bearing age is climbing. And research is mounting that shows excess weight in pregnancy has serious consequences for the long-term health of the unborn child and the mother. The Northwestern Comprehensive Center on Obesity is tackling the growing health problem with a unique program for obese pregnant women. A team of health professionals — a physician, dietitian, exercise physiologist and clinical psychologist –will help the women develop better nutrition for optimal weight gain, counsel them on how to increase physical activity and offer psychological counseling to develop strategies for a healthier pregnancy. Each woman will have a program tailored to her individual needs. The new program — Healthy for You, Healthy for 2 — is available to women who plan to give birth at Northwestern Memorial’s Prentice Women’s Hospital. The obesity pregnancy program is a project of Northwestern University, Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation. northwestern.edu/newscenter/stories/2009/03/kushnerpregnacy.html
