i think it's a great question, brad and one there can be a lot of paleo answers to and i think that may be why it seems as if the ground is shifting beneath you. LC paleo usually works for almost everyone for stripping bodyfat relatively quickly. and it's true that ketosis is a great tool for getting bodyfat off rather quickly. before giving up on ketosis, i am curious as what have you done to test if you're in ketosis or not. it seems that it's virtually impossible not to lose weight if you're truly in ketosis- but some people do seem to have a harder time than others getting into ketosis.
once in ketosis for a while, you may want to think about adding some intermittent fasting to the mix. for me, it was like putting a supercharger on what ketosis was already doing...
