Atkins at Day 19
I started at 5'6" 172 lbs, 29 years old, male
At day 12 I weighed 165 At day 19 I weighed 161 All while eating generous amounts of eggs, bacon, sausage, steak, salad. I'm going to feast on another large steak tonight. I tried for about a month to get under 170 by power walking and eating a low calorie diet -- baked potatoes, bread, sandwiches. I didn't lose a pound. Now i've lost 11. |

Okay, I'll keep an eye out for the stall, but I hope I can get close to 150
or under 150 before that happens. My goal is 143-145. "Marengo" wrote in message ...

Many low-carb dieters have a stall about 3 weeks into the plan as the body adjusts to burning the new fuel, and it can be frustrating. If it happens, don't get discouraged. Just stick with it and you'll get past it. -- Peter |

Atkins at Day 19
I went from 268 lbs. to 197 lbs. on low-carb. I stayed under 25 grams
per day the entire time. The trick was, every other week I'd eat NORMAL food, usually on a fairly busy weekday like a Saturday. Maybe a couple biscuits with gravy and a little hash browns for breakfast, and that evening we'd go out to somewhere like Applebee's and just enjoy a nice, normal meal, a couple of cocktails and a rich dessert. This seems to "trick" the body into not dropping its metabolism. Monday morning, I'd be back to low carb, and just took up where I left off. I never gained any weight after those weekends. And they were VERY enjoyable!!! Anyway, this approach worked fine for me. Nowadays I keep my carbs under 30-40 per day, and with my lower weight I'm able to work out twice a week, play tennis, swim, and just in general be more active than I could back when I was hauling around the equivalent of a 21-inch TV on my waist.
