im 15 and a lot over weight. i decided that its summer and i need to go on a diet. about three weeks ago i started on a low carb diet and after the second week i stopped losing weight. im still on the diet and ive even started to exercise at least every other day but my weight wont go down. im also drinking a lot of water and nothing is happening. what am i doing wrong? does anyone know if it is just supposed to stop after a while?

hi race-
It's not uncommon to loose something quickly, then for your body to "catch-up" over a week or two. Sometimes we loose water weight that is released from the cells when a diet starts, and it may take some time to stablize that.

Why don't you tell us what diet you are on(are you following a specific plan, and did you read the book?)
Also, you could post some menu's, what you eat in a whole day...and we could see if there are any problems that are slowing you up.

It's a long process, but congratulations for your commitment, and adding exercise- that's a great combination. If you're just starting out exercising, that can add "weight" on the scale, if the muscles are growing or are inflamed.

So, tell us more!

im trying to eat less then 20 carbs a day and its about 10-15 that i mostly get a day.
i mostly eat steaks,el pollo loco chicken with a side if veggies minus the carrots, some salad with no carb dressing +steak, beef jerky, pork rinds, and eggs(boiled, develed, or scrambled in extra vergin olive oil), or a can of green beans. thats about it or anything with 2-3carbs max according to the labels. maybe it might be the muscles. thanx for the info, hope this can help a little more. thanks a lot.
