I thought that maybe some experienced turtles could give me some advice. I have determined by trial and error that I do not/cannot/will not burn ANY fat on anything but induction level...even while exercising! My last induction was my third, it lasted for two weeks and I lost approximately 3 lbs. and ended up horribly depressed. I AM A FAITHFUL EXERCISER. I have been LC ing for approx. 18 months and have not seen a doctor nor had any testing. The only information I can find is what Atkins says about "metabolic resistance." I get the impression that he would put all his patients on at least a low-dose of thyroid med.(?) I just can't see how this is normal, especially since I am involved in an exercise program that gets amazing results for some people. I'm weary and fed up, but terrified to get off this plan.
