TwoWks only 5lbs.

Adkins diet. I've lost 5lbs in first week, and none in
second week. Should I go back to week one? Or, what do I do
now? I'm a little discouraged.
Thanks in advance,
Jane

Atkins.

second week. Should I go back to week one? Or, what do I do

Thanks in advance,

Second week is the same as the first. How much do you have to lose?
How tall are you? How old? When was your last TOM? Eating a lot of
salt?

That's 2 and 1/2 pounds per week, so if you lose 5 pounds in the next
two weeks, you'll have 10 pounds gone. A little patience will go a long
way. Good luck. :-)

See, this bothers me to have to read things like this.
Not to say it isn't good advice (I think that everyone should eat a little
less and exercise), however in the book, Atkins speaks directly about how
you should eat all you want, blah blah blah.

Perhaps the person having trouble loosing is eating hidden carbs, or not
counting properly. Perhaps he or she is on some sort of anti-depressant salt
based medicine, who knows.

Sorry JC, that was not a crack at you at all, but sometimes (just sometimes)
it seems like the Atkins center contradicts itself.

This is a low-carb newsgroup, not strictly an Atkins newsgroup. I follow the
CKD, the Anabolic Diet, and the Warrior Diet. But most importantly, I follow
Lyle's New Ultimate Diet.

I have to say that this bothers me a little bit too. I see this on here a
lot, especially from JC. It is excellent advice and gets to the heart of
it. The problem is, however, that sometimes things are a little bit more
complicated. There are many things that could cause this problem. Did the
OP add any foods in the second week that weren't in the first week? Is the
OP eating any controlled carb products? Dairy besides cheese? Caffeine?
Tomatos? Any of these things could cause a stall. Some people have
reactions to certain foods that inhibit weight loss and it is necessary to
pinpoint those foods and cut them out, not just cut down on everything. And
exercise doesn't help with food reactions, generally.

While this advice is the basis behind any weight loss, it doesn't take into
account a person's specific problems/issues and, to me at least, belittles
the OP. It comes across as if you're implying that the OP is stupid or
something, and I don't think that's necessary. Just my own opinion, of
course.

Don't bother with JC -- he's one of the resident trolls and most people have him
filtered out.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Jane, welcome to the group! What are you eating in a typical day? Perhaps we
can spot something that may be causing you to stall. Also, time of month can
make a BIG difference for some of us women. Are you eating ENOUGH food?

Yep, also the OP should ask him/herself how much weight they would be
loosing if they were going low fat or low calorie.
I would like to know if they OP is doing any cardio exercise.
People don't realize how important cardio is. Not only does burn fat in the
long run, it also increases your metabolism while you are working out... You
gain muscle over time, and that muscle will burn fat too!

There are so many things you can do:
-Walking
-Jogging
-Shoveling snow
-Skating
-Swimming
-playing dance dance revolution (for the Sony Playstation or Playstation2
video game system, and you can pick up the playstation 1 and a copy of the
game and dance pad for under $150 I bet, and its FUN)
-Bowling
-Taking the bus instead of car
-Jumping rope (skipping)

seriously, you don't have to go out and exercise like it is a burden. If you
find that whatever your workout is bores you, then you will not want to do
the workout, and ultimately will stop doing it completely.

Hope this helps.
