Does exercising on a low carb diet like Kimkins affect weight loss results?
I haven%26#039;t really been following the diet to a tee but only the breakfast part, I%26#039;m doing the boot camp part of the diet and I%26#039;ve been eating my Activia yogurts and a banana for breakfast because eggs make me sick as well as meat in the morning and I just substitute with those. Well, I do 30 min of cardio on the elliptical, I don%26#039;t overwork myself or anything. My weight didn%26#039;t come down when I was exervicing but I haven%26#039;t exercised for 4 days and I%26#039;ve dropped 5 lbs. Is the exercise affecting weight loss or am I in ketosis and it%26#039;s starting to do its magic? I%26#039;d like to continue exercise if it won%26#039;t interfere.

Exercise will not slow weight loss, on any diet. It boosts your metabolism and keeps it from slowing down when your diet changes- so it%26#039;s very good to do. The 5 lb. weight loss is likely from ketosis, but I must warn you. I tried lowe carb dieting- and after about a month of feeling awful all the time, I discovered it wasn%26#039;t worth it. What will work in the long term is doing like you are doing- but do not be afraid to have whole grains, because fiber is important. A diet full of salads, whole grains, fruits, veggies, and lean meat will pave the way to long term weight loss- and your body will feel better for it.

- I agree with you. I have been feeling like crap but the results are too good. I plan on sticking with this until I drop the weight and then I%26#039;ll start adding whole grains and fruits and other things to maintain. Thanks for answering.
