Age has a lot to do with the efficacy of our various LCHF dietary plans. I'm at 74 years now and have been in and out of ketosis since 1972.
This is a hard road to travel consistently, and we all take off down the side paths every once in a while. It's called life.
Before I discovered Dr. Fung three years ago on this very forum, I had been plateaued for several years. IF helped me get to goal. Since then I've been gradually gaining, despite being strict.
I've performed every known experiment on myself in an attempt to find out why this is happening. I gave up artificial sweeteners, diet sodas, HWC, and just about every other comfort food LC offers over the past year. Not all at once, but in controlled experiments. Nothing changed as a result.
Maybe we just have to be patient and stick to plan. For me, the alternative, eating the SAD, is not an option. I'm in excellent health and still have no pain. My arthritis shows in my fingers, but is painless. I'm still doing my morning walks and have been sticking to my Yoga classes.
