If she is staying the same weightwise then she will be growing taller and will

slim down as she does. Right?

Weight problem is not going away.... STILL!!!! Help

needed!

Help needed!!

I don't have my notebook with me, but I guess it has been four weeks

since I discovered 's gain of four pounds in less than six

weeks. She has been taken down from 1200 calories to 1000... first I

took her down 100, then another 50 a few days later at the dietitians

recommendation, then another 100 a week ago. Every week now we go

and weigh in and she hasn't lost a thing! Not a thing!

Should I continue to decrease calories? Obviously the cut has not

done what it needs to. She looks too heavy, and the weight gain was

so fast. She was chubby pre-keto and I had thought she would lose

some of it. Not so. Now she looks terrible.

is on a 3:1 ratio, 1000 calories. Any other ideas, other than

reducing calories. She is not real active. Never has been. Sat up

late, crawled late, walked late, and just is not overly active.

Poor . I feel just awful that I let it happen. I was so

involved with weighing food, I didn't notice her weight!

Thanks ahead of time for input... .. 's mum

Dear Hallie

is short - about 5th percentile for her age. She is Vietnamese. Her

height growth is never much during a year. It could take a long long time for

her to catch up to this weight! Thanks, .

I can't see anything wrong with cutting another 50 to 100 calories. You

are checking weight religiously now, so no problem, especially on a 3:1

ratio. Watch what happens to the ketones and seizures.

The last time calories were cut, ketones went up. This diet really is

something. Need to do something. Thanks for your help. .

I've just read the previous posts. This is not surprising as is

probably now burning body fat to meet her extra calorie needs and hence

producing increased ketones. Sounds like calories are just about right. It

could take a few weeks to see a difference in her weight though.

I guess we will sit tight and watch. Maybe when she gets back to where she was,

or even a bit less (she was chubby, now is fat) she can have a few more

calories.

Funny. When I started the diet I was given a notebook of info and menus,

exchange lists and that was it. I thought it was just a diet. There is so much

more to the whole of it. What would I do without folks like you and those on

this list! Many thanks for the input and support. .
