Hi... the problem is that I am not losing.....
I am doing atkins well, (8 days now) Im in Ketosis but I am not losing weight. I am in the small and
medium color most of the time. I am eating a lot of salt on my hard boiled eggs. Can this be
causing the small weight gain... or a stall???
Any suggestions other then getting rid of the salt which I have today...
Thanks all.

I wouldn't worry about weight after only 8 days. Try and go to 14 days
before re-weighing yourself to see if you're losing.

As for salt on the eggs, I'd be concerned if eggs were all you are
eating!

The ketosis is a good sign, although some will say that a lack of
apparent ketosis on the sticks isn't always meaningful.

I wouldn't weigh until after induction (once right before and then after).
You should also take measurements. Second, salt *may* be a problem
depending on how much you're using. Some people seem to be salt sensitive,
but there are other things to take into account.

The only way to really give advice is to look at a typical day's eating.
You should include supplements, water consumption and medications (if any).
Stats are also helpful.

By the way, since you're only on your 8th day, here's atip you may not
be aware of: getting enough potassium is an issue for many, and as
long as you're using salt on your eggs, you may as well be using
Morton Lite Salt, A quarter teaspoon provides 10% of the US RDA of
potassium.

Ditch the salt for a few days and see what happens.
I started that a few days ago and found I have lost some water
retention and possibly some weight to go with it as I just *feel*
smaller physically.
I also feel better too. :-)

thanks
good advice
