You *have* been doing something right: low carbing lets you lose fat, but it will leave muscle tissue alone thank God. This is totally opposite from low calorie diets that will use muscle tissue to deliver you glucides but leave most of the fat alone. Remember? A lot about low carbing is using the ketosis state in which your body uses up its own fat. But you also develop muscle tissue. (for an indepth explanation there are some body building message boards that are into this) So what happens is that once you approach your ideal weight, your body will get better "tone" while not losing too much weight. Seems like your getting there! Congratulations!
