Jackie Eberstein Addresses Hormones And Weight Loss On Low-Carb

Filed under: Health — jimmy @ 12:17 am

I received an excellent e-mail recently from a reader who was interested in knowing what impact her hormone therapy would have on your low-carb weight loss. She was getting quite frustrated by the lack of success at losing the pounds and keeping them off despite being in ketosis from a very low-carb ketogenic (VLCK) diet.

Here’s what she wrote:

Mr. Moore,

I read your book, which I really enjoyed, and I have a question:

I am eating fewer that 20 grams of carbs a day, turning the Ketostix dark purple, but am not losing at all. In fact, I keep regaining and losing the same two pounds. I am on Aygestin. Why do the hormones affect low-carb dieting so much?

I have looked online, and I can’t find a specific answer. I know that you are very busy. If you have time to answer, it would be most appreciated. If not, I’ll keep Googling. ;-)
