LLVLC On YouTube: Breaking A Weight Loss Stall (Episode 12)
Popular livinlavidalowcarb.com blogger Jimmy Moore and that pretty little wife of his named Christine talk about weight loss stalls and what to do when it happens on your low-carb diet. Jimmy experienced a 10-week stall during his amazing 180-pound weight loss on the Atkins diet in 2004. This video will explain what he did to get through that challenging time and something shocking that happened in the midst of what may have derailed his weight loss success entirely.

CONGRATS and YOU CAN DO THIS!!! Thanks for getting my book. I'm here to help you anytime.
I completely agree! This has happened to me. I have lost approx 90lb on the Atkins diet - I started Nov 08' - March 09'. I exercised on my treatmill and went for walks. Started at 26 1/2 stone.. I am now 20 stone 2lb. I am finding my weight loss has stopped so I have started the Atkins induction to get me on a roll again : ) I brought your e-book yesturday too.
Just keep at it, buddy! Keep working the plan EXACTLY as prescribed and re-read the book again. Sometimes we allow bad habits to creep back in and don't even realize it. YOU CAN DO IT!
Great information. I keep having a weight yoyo problem (it fluctuates). But this is only my second week. Maybe in getting nervous because Im not use to it . I was on the diet a few years ago and it looks like this is happening earlier than I expected . If you have any advice its greatly appreciated .
Thanks again - so glad I discovered your videos! I am working my way through them:)
I was transitioning from Induction to OWL and probably did it too fast. That's when I realized I couldn't eat more than 35g net carbs and still lose weight.
Awesome - thanks for replying so quickly. Were you still in the induction phase when it happened? Or OWL?
Thanks!
I started my weight loss on January 1st and began my stall around mid-May. It lasted through the beginning of August until my weight started going down again. But the neat thing is I lost about 7 inches while I was "stalled." So don't let it discourage you if the scale isn't moving. You're gonna do great!
Hi there,
At what point in 2004 did you hit your stall? Halfway, in the beginning? Just curious because I have recently started Atkins again and have been feeling great, but have concerns about my goals being derailed before the summer!
Cute…THANKS!
Even that is funny, Jimmy. lol
Actually, we can't be corny because it's too high in carbs. LOL!
THANK YOU for watching SmirkingRevenge77!
You guys are corny as hell but for some reason I always watch your videos lol.
THANKS so much Rene'! We appreciate you devotion to what we are doing.
thank you Jimmy, I listen to a least 10 of your podcast or read at least 10 or more of your old blogs, I love when they read it to me, such a great deal… I am praying for you and Christine…. Thank you for the love and kindness you have both given me and I need the link to donate, Oh, wait I found it yeah! Love you guys, Rene'
You are VERY welcome and I wish you well as you work your way through this stall. It will be over soon and you'll be losing again soon enough. GO FOR IT!!!
I really needed to relisten to this one, I'm in a stall and really appreciate you both…
Perspective when you're living this way is EVERYTHING! I never lose sight of the fact I am eating healthier than I EVER did before livin' la vida low-carb!
You hit the nail on the head with this video…its true we sometimes think we need to adjust our WOE with stalls and tend to do stupid things as a result (ie. question this WOL, cut out fat, etc.) I try to think about the other benefits of this WOE like feeling good and looking good and healthy, vibrant skin and hair, less illness etc. There are so many other benefits besides weightloss!
You may back off of the berries and make sure your veggies are the green leafy kind. Also, back off the chocolates and bars for now to see how they impact you. They very well could be your culprit. Don't panic, Dan, because the stress hormone cortisol can stall you too!
Hello Jimmy, HELP Please!!! I have stalled over the past 3 weeks. I noticed in your 6 week sample menu that you do not eating many fruits and veggies? I am eating salads, low carb veggies and strawberries every day as my carb intake could this be the reason I am stalling? I am also eating Stoffers Sugar Free chocolates and Atkins bars, do these cause weight stalls. Please let me know your thoughts, thank you… I want to start losing again… Thanks again for everything… Dan
Keep at it, Clyde! It's tempting to think you've failed when the weight loss stalls, but don't give up! You're doing GREAT and will prevail.
God bless you for this segment…I've been on a stall for about a month now, plateau at 55 pounds (30-40 away from my goal) and it's really been tough not seeing the scale go down.
I have no intention of giving up, but I have had some 'all or nothing' thinking creeping in on me. Thanks for your post on this very important topic for me!
Go back and read the book of the plan you are following, follow that plan EXACTLY as prescribed by the author, and then DO IT! If what you are doing isn't working, then find something else that will. DON'T GIVE UP!!!
OMG I am still waiting for take off. The runway is getting over crowded and the plane has been stalled for…11 weeks:( I am still going crazy here!!! Yes I am still losing inches but even that is slowing down. The pharmasist said I could stall for up to 4 months…is this true??!!
