Starvation Mode?

I'm 6 months out and 21 pounds from my goal of 130. I've noticed the last month or so it seems I lose more or faster when I eat more carbs. I usually try to eat one heavy carb a day like, rice, potatos, tortilla and the rest of the day low carb.. I eat about 1/3 a cup when I eat. My sleeve is just as small now as the day I got sleeved.. I don't drink sugar and rarely drink drinks with any other sweetner.. Yesterday, DH's birthday... I ate BBQ, potato salad, baked beans heavy on the bbq sauce and cake without frosting and a smoothie from smoothie king.. No extra exercise... I lost a pound and a half.. I weigh myself twice a day every day and my weight does not flucuate I usually weight myself before i eat and at night at least 2 hours after I eat.. This is not the first or the second time this happened to me.. In the past I haven't eaten anything this extreme though. I'm starting to think my body is in starvation mode... What do you all think?

Its been said over and over again....you have to eat in order to loose weight.

Journal your calories/carbs/fats/protiens and find out the trends where you loose the most. I was on Atkins many years ago to drop (and kept off) 85lbs, I found that my body type dropped the most eating 60% protien/ 35%fat and 5% carbs.....over the last 2 yrs though, I noticed I can loose when I eat about 50% protien 40% carb. I just don't like the way the carbs make me feel.

Good luck, and tweak your eating periodically to shake things up and see where your specific body type looses the best.

It could be the casse, and Yes, I agree we have to eat to lose weight. Maybe you should track to make sure you are getting in the right amount of caloriescarbs/protein/water everyday,,,
