I am not convinced that this is true. It may be true that there is a first-time dividend, but I think if you really do low carb you will lose again. It is so much better healthwise that it is really worth it anyway.

I lost over 30 lb since starting low carb in August 2012 but I didn't quite reach my goal and am "stalled" (or maintaining, if you like) for over six months. I am not unhappy with my weight but I am allowing myself the odd cheat and I think it's time I got back to basics so I don't wind up gaining.

Don't be discouraged, if you persevere you will get there.
