OK, I'm really having trouble.

I honestly have not "cheated" in nearly 6 years of low carb eating -- 100% compliance. My carb counts are in the low to mid 30s. My calories are probably too high, but I am not stuffing myself, and my diet has not changed (It's possible I'm not being totally honest with myself here. I'm pretty sure calories are an issue, which means I'm probably just eating too much). I'm probably starting to move into menopause, but there have not been any obvious changes that would lead to say, Yeah, hormones, that makes sense.

I've put on close to 30 pounds in the last 18 months, and I'm not really sure why, and the changes I'm making don't seem to be having any impact -- in fact, the weight keeps climbing at an alarming rate.

As of today, I weigh more than I did when I *started* low carbing.

I'm thinking it's time to panic.

I'm willing to give up dairy, at least for Lent (starts on Wednesday, but I'm already moving in that direction, to ease my way into it). I have been resisting trying this. I guess I could also give up nuts and sweeteners (I only use erythritol and stevia), but I'm not willing to go there. Yet. Desperate measures for desperate times.

Anyone else find that low carbing just "stops working"? I can't go back to eating carbs; I'd weigh twice as much as I do now if I did that. But I can't keep gaining weight like this, either. I feel totally cornered here. I really don't know what else to try.

I'd really appreciate some feedback.
