Kermit is Having Trouble Getting Into Ketosis Are you having trouble getting into ketosis? Do you feel like nothing is happening even though you've been following your low-carb diet correctly and drinking lots of water? If you're not in ketosis yet, are you confused because you don't seem to be making any progress? Other people are losing a ton of weight doing: Atkins Induction Protein Power Keto Diet Nutritional Ketosis (LCHF) but nothing has worked for you. You can't seem to get into ketosis no matter what you do. Your clothes are still tight the scale isn't budging and your Ketostix are either still tan or barely pink.

What's up with low-carb dieters these days? I really need someone to explain it to me. I'm at a total loss to understand.
