LLVLC On YouTube: 7 Reasons Why You May Not Be Losing Weight (Episode 74)
LivinLaVidaLowCarb.com blogger Jimmy Moore and his wife Christine hear from a lot of people who express their concerns about why they’re not losing weight. They identify 7 reasons why you may not be losing weight in the latest installment of their popular “Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb on YouTube” series. In Episode 74, Jimmy and Christine touch on a few of the most common explanations for stalled weight loss or even weight gain. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but may include the reason you could be struggling with a seeming lack of progress on your healthy low-carb lifestyle. 7 REASONS WHY YOU MAY NOT BE LOSING WEIGHT 1. Too many carbs 2. Too few calories 3. Muscle growth 4. Too much protein 5. Medications 6. Too much exercise 7. Stress Keep in mind that your body is constantly adjusting to any new changes you make in your diet and exercise routine, so your individual response to these changes will vary from what others experience.

great info!
Nope, but there is such a thing as too much protein. And while your fat and carbs are in a good position, you really need to back off a bit on the protein to get it down closer to 20% of total calories.
If you’ll recall from this video and the one we did on gluconeogenesis, excess protein turns into sugar in the body through the liver. Moderating your protein intake keeps this from happening and you replace the protein with more fat.
Keep your carbs where they are and add more fat.
Hey Jimmy quick ? Is there such thing as eating to much fat? I am eating on average about 168.5g fat per day which is about 67%. Protien is 149g at about 28% and carbs are at 32.5g at 5%. Are these good levels to be at? Please let me know your thoughts.. thanks
Sure, although I never said they were “unhealthy” ever. But when you mix in carbohydrates with fat, that’s a dangerous combination for your heart health because of the carbs. That’s why restricting your carb intake is critical because fat becomes passive in the absence of carbs. When you introduce carbs, they lead your weight and health down a path of self-destruction. The only fats to avoid are trans fats.
Please explain how they are healthy when you eat low carb, but unhealthy if you aren’t eating low carb.
Small tweaks can make a BIG difference!
Jimmy thanks for this video. Man have I ever missed some great information since the last time I had my home computer. It’s amazing what one can miss in just a few weeks. I may fall under the too much protein or not enough fat intake. This past month I lost 25 lbs. but I felt like I didnt’ because I stopped walking and I feel lazy….Have a great one..
Fat, coconut oil, lard and all sorts of saturated fats are extremely healthy for you when you are limiting your carbohydrate intake. EVOO is overrated.
THANKS for your comments. We never claimed muscle growth alone would stall your weight, but it can be a contributing factor. I appreciate your feedback!
THANKS so much for watching!
No, I don’t do cardio everyday. I’m aware of HIIT and incorporate it into my fitness schedule. These days I play competitive volleyball twice a week which gives me quite a workout with all the running, jumping, and such that makes it a fabulous workout. THANKS!
Also, why not recommend healthy fats, such as Extra virgin Olive oil, as opposed to butter??
If you are only doing house chores and not losing weight for a long period of time, it is something other then muscle growth. You can not gain that much muscle by just simply doing house chores..
Another great video guys. Christine looks wonderful….ok, you both do. Keep up the great work!!
The best way to get calories up is to get fat up. The best way to get fat up is to eat full-fat meats and cheeses, heavy cream, butter, nuts, coconut oil…anything with fat which acts as fuel for your body in the absence of carbs. We’ve hit on this many times in our videos.
Hi, Jimmy!
It´s good to help people to see what is stopping them.
If somebody looses weight and it suddenly stops it might be because of melting fat from the belly which releases all the stored poison in it. Additional vitamin C and lots of water can take care of that poison. Dr. Atkins wrote about it. I don´t know, I think it was the book “vita-nutrient solution – your complete guide to natural health!”
How about a video on easy ways to get more fat and calories in the diet, especially when one is on the run all day? This evening I thought about what I ate during an exceptionally busy day, and it was a salad with romaine, black olives, tuna, LOTS of mayo for lunch and a chicken breast with mayo for dinner. That’s not anywhere near enough, but because I don’t get very hungry on low carb, and because I am busy quite a lot these days, I know my body has to be hanging on to weight for dear life.
We’ll talk about that in our video.
It’s only UP from here!
YES U CAN GET THE MONITORS FREE…but those dang strips are EXPENSIVE…do got Dr to give me prescription for them…life is good…well it will be when get this dang 25 lbs back off. had to buy new pants for summer..and not the smaller type…gesh
Hopefully i can stay off the Motrin and now that i know i was over kill on protein and needed to add more fats…i hope my week gets better.
That’s a SMART thing to do. We’ll be doing a video soon on blood sugar monitors and why EVERYONE (not just diabetics) needs to have one.
We also have ‘THE FOOD INDUSTRY “NEW MATH”‘ since there is no rules for what a net carb is there are some products that are making it up as they go…i now test my blood sugar if i suspect something has funky math…
CRUNCH CRUNCH…ME EATING MY MIXED NUTS…5 CARBS…4 FIBER…PLANTERS HEALTY HEART MIX.
