Posted Wednesday, May 2, 2012 at 4:01 PM I too lost 10 lbs. the first time through 21 Days, but since then I have not lost any more weight. I have been through another 21 days and have not lost another pound...I maintained a vegan diet through another 3 weeks, and still no more weight loss, and now am going through 21 days again hoping to lose again, but not very hopeful as it seems like I am stuck and going to stay stuck-I have 20 lbs. more to lose. really could use some help. I don't cheat, and I am very consistent with the plan.

Posted Wednesday, May 2, 2012 at 4:42 PM No not at all in fact I took Dr. Popper's wellness 101 coarse on vegan lifestyle, and I follow everything exceptionally! I have been told I am diet resistant. I don't know why; maybe because I was an Atkins. advocate for many years until it stopped working. I am seriously stumped..

Posted Wednesday, May 2, 2012 at 5:40 PM Hi, Check out this site and use the words maximum weight loss in the search area http://www.drmcdougall.com/store_mwl.html Dr. McDougall's wife Mary has articles as well as books on this. I too am resistant to weight loss. If I follow their guidelines on eliminating fat to the letter then I lose. A tiny slip and I maintain. Simple as that. I am about 23 pounds from my weight goal and if I slip with any nutbutters or a handful of nuts, avocado etc... my weight stays the same. If I am super careful I lose weight consistently. Good luck and best wishes! Kym Always offer kindness and a soft word to the beings around you; You do not know their journey. Your words can be the hug they need or the shove that breaks them.

Something to do with a mother's body holding onto it's reserves in case the mother needs to nurse a baby in famine times. Never make assumptions.

You would think I would be thin from sheer exhaustion! I'm careful about fat and oil but will check out the site. I was thinking maybe need to cut portions-eat smaller beans and brown rice maybe more fresh vegs. Will let you know how it goes, but any suggestions are welcome. Thanks so much.

Yes, if you've gotten into a higher whole grains and legumes habit, then filling your plate with more veggies and a little less grain can help. I know that if I start falling into a more grain-based eating pattern (lots of brown rice, quinoa, whole grain pasta; less leafy greens and other non-starchy veggies) I do tend to hold onto pounds. I may not gain anything back but I don't lose as steadily either. --Deb R
