I've been low carbing for nearly three weeks

But I had the weekend before last off (visiting family who are carb fiends) and also one day last week (hangover)

I haven't lost any weight. I have stayed exactly the same. I'm not particularly upset by this as I haven't found the way of eating to be onerous but I'm wondering whether I could tweak it to start losing. I am vegetarian so I'm eating a lot of cheese (some with every meal) and I don't think I could cut that down easily without dying of boredom, because otherwise it's very limited.

I have enjoyed the feeling of not being bloated or carb-hungover and have noticed that happening on the occasions that I ate carbs. I am also less hungry between meals and snacking less. So I'm wondering if anyone has any advice to get the scales moving? I'm not sure how much longer I will give it (though if I go back to calorie counting I will keep some of the low carb habits for sure).

It looks like we started at the same time! Good luck.

I don't recommend the throwing up though, it was horrendous, best thing was losing 3lb overnight. I shall no doubt put this back on so I guess you'd call it a 7-8 lb loss. Still happy with that though.

AKiss - why don't you rate the book? I thought there were some lovely recipes in there. I've made a few so far and enjoyed all but one of them.

Wow. The more water you drink the more thirsty you get! 2l drunk already today.

Tofu is low carb

Have you made the chocolate cake? Fucking minging. I thought the recipes were really uninspiring, found better ones online.
