I am on day 7 of Phase 1. I have been sticking right around 25-30 net carbs and 1200 -1300 calories. I had been down 4 lbs and now I am back up 3. In my head I know that it is probably just a normal fluctuation (water, hormones), but in my heart I feel discouraged.
I didn't see any guidelines for carb counts. Is there a general rule for South Beach? My fiance does a low carb diet (not south beach) and he says he doesn't lose if he goes over 20.
