Realize that you are unique and that a pound a week may be all your specific metabolism may be doing. You should talk to your doctor about ramping up your metabolism. Remember we have to eat to burn the calories, the carbs are what help to break down the proteins. If you aren't eating enough carbs, the proteins will not break down and you will not loose weight. On the flip side if one eats too many carbs it turns to sugar, without any proteins to eat. Finding the balance is at times difficult.
