Help!!1 been on Atkins 3 weeks now and only lost 2 lbs
What am I doing wrong? I was on Atkins 6 mos ago and lost 10 lbs in 1 mos
but fell off the wagon. I am trying again but I just dont see any changes. Has this happened to anybody else? I am losing faith in the diet and feel I should give up. I even started drinking water this time around (about 4- 6 glasses) a day. Help!!! |

Nichole,
Several things to ask here.....all of them will be obvious to long time low carbers but here goes anyways.... Have you re-read the book to refresh your memory? Did you read it the first time around? Are you eating real food or low carb bars/junkfoods/cereals/snacks/etc? Real food on induction is green vegetables, meat, most cheeses, eggs, etc...... Can you post several days menu so the experienced people here can review it ? Are you cheating? (i.e breaded foods, sugar in your spices, not counting the carbs in your coffee cream? etc..) If you answer those then maybe something will become evident as the problem..... blessings, Robin www.lowcarbchristians.com |

I am losing faith in the diet and feel I should give up. I even started drinking water this time around (about 4- 6 glasses) a day. Help!!! There's no "wagon". If you follow a low-carb lifestyle, you can control your weight. The more carbs you include in your diet, the less weight you will lose. With the knowledge, you have total control. You can eat one way and lose weight, eat another way and maintain weight, and eat another way and gain weight. It's all up to you. You are empowered with the information, now, decide what you wamt to do. |

: : Yes, give up. : : : That advice will help them get back on their feet. Didn't you notice the "clue" words? 1. "losing faith" 2. "feel I should give up" 3. 'started' drinking water! (What the ??) conclusion: fake post. |

What am I doing wrong? You're turning the reality of success into the reality of failure by quitting while you are successfull. That's what you are doing. I was on Atkins 6 mos ago and lost 10 lbs in 1 mos Many experience loss that includes water the first time. many don't get that extra water loss the second time. but fell off the wagon. Why? Fail to answer that to yourself and it will happen again. I am trying again but I just dont see any changes. "See"? What do you expect, realistic success or some magic pill? There is no magic pill. You ARE successfull in losing 2 pounts in 3 weeks. The ideal rate to keep it off is 4 per month. Has this happened to anybody else? Very many people. Extremely common. I am losing faith in the diet and feel I should give up. If you think losing faith is enough to quit now. If you think actual real success as in new lows is a reason to quit, quit now. Help!!! What you have experienced is a standard pattern. Is a standard predictable pattern really reason for quitting? What you have experienced is success. Is actual real loss at an actual real sustainable rate really a reason for quitting? Or are you just interested in an excuse to sabotage youself? Sorry, you won't get an excuse to sabotage yourself from me. |

"Many experience loss that includes water the first time.
many don't get that extra water loss the second time.:" This is another new one from Doug. Never heard this before. And it would seem impossible, since a lot of the water loss is part of the glycogen stored in the liver. When you enter ketosis the gylcogen goes and so does the water. |
