Atkins : Has stopped working for me, advice needed

Hi,

I lost 4kgs in the first four days of Dr Atkins (wow). Then nothing in
3 weeks of DR A. I just haven't budged a gram. I thought I might be
eating too much cheese so cut that out. I suspect that if you creep
over your max-carbs then you've wasted your time?

Diet : Lots of Chicken Tikka, Boiled Eggs, Cheese, Mayo, Salad , not
much else.

Advice & encouragement please!!

A lot of CHicken Tikka recipes use Yogurt which is a no-no.
Have you been counting carbs/fat/protein & calories? You might want to
for a few days just to see where you really are? Also what is your
starting weight and goal. People who don't have much to loose will
loose a limited amount. Also some have mentioned having no weight loss
in weeks 3&4. DId you take any body measurements? ANy inches
missing-clothes fitting better.

Collective Thread Response:
The Chicken is supermarket bought is dry w/o a sauce. Also some fish.
Some extra veg. I believe I've been pretty strict.
Sorry am not carb counting, thought I'd be OK if I eat the right
foods.
Am also swimmimg 2/3 times a week, some cycling but it's winter. (must
be easier dieting in the summer!). I'm not over eating the protein
because I don't find it terribly appetising. No great desire for sweet
stuff, but really miss fruit!!.
Heard from a friend that they lost nothing for 2 weeks then 3kgs in a
day.

Please keep advice coming!!

Depending on where you are in the whatever program you're doing, yogurt
may not be on the approved foods list, but the opinion of those who've
looked into this is that yogurt is actually very low carb because all the
yogurt cultures eat the lactose in the milk. So the true carb reading is
really lower than what it says on the side of the container.

I would find that a little bit of overload, personally - but lots of people on
this list eat this way and lose just fine.
