, first of all stevia is a natural sweetner so i am suprised that is

the culprit. We had issues w/ splenda so we gave up on that and only use

the liquid stevia. if you are using natural strawberry exracts, then that

has to have carbs in it, I bet it is highly concentrated too.

How overweight was before the diet and how tall is she? Stella weighs

42lbs and is 51/2 years old, she gained a pound the first month when she on

1325 cals, we dropped gradually down to 1225 at a 3.75-1 ratio now. She was

at 4-1 for a while and with the MCT oil she was way too ketotic. Anyway,

long story, we backed off the MCT oil and I'm focusing on trying to get her

to eat. With her seizures as bad as they are, Its difficult getting her to

eat anything. We would always drop cals by 50, so you could do that for a

couple days, or a week to see if anything good comes of it. I do know it

would take quite a while for her to loose the weight though. Are you sure

it's not height growth?

Well, good luck,

amanda
