Not hungry?
I am on day 9 of induction and have lost 11 pounds so far, but what my
question is, is there anyone else who has to make themselves eat to get enough carbs because you just aren't hungry? That is what it has been like the past 2 days. I make sure I drink at least 64oz of water daily, sometimes more. Any suggestions? Thanks!! Jill Michigan 1/5/04 185/174/135 |

I think it sounds like it's working perfectly and I wouldnt change a thing.
Great job on the fast start and hopefully the pounds will continue to drop off. I restarted Atkins 2.5 weeks ago and the pounds are falling off and I have no appetite or cravings. That's when I know I'm doing it correctly and I have the power to keep on going. Good luck! ~*~Pie~*~ 254/seen 195/211.5/150 "Jill Starphyre" wrote in message om...

If you mean *food*, then yes, I sometimes just eat because I know I
should, not really because I'm hungry.. If you mean *carbs*, then you probably dont' realize that the 20g is a *maximum* -- you don't have to eat 20g every day (although you probably should be pretty close if you're eating salads and stuff).

I'm 14 days in (yup, started on New Years), and I'm going through the same
thing. I'm eating because the book says to not go too long without eating...but I'm really not hungry. I manage to get close to 20g carbs with my salads n stuff....but I'm actually quite low on the calories side of the house. I'm around 280...but am rarely getting over 1800 calories a day. -- Hans Storoy "Jill Starphyre" wrote in message om...

I do make sure to eat breakfast each day, mostly so I can take my multivitamin. This morning I had one egg and one sausage, and a salad with tomatoes, cucumber, different kinds of lettuce, and sprinkled cheese. I ate that around 8am? I drink water throughout the day, usually about 128 ounces. I did not eat again until 8pm. Didn't feel very hungry. Had some broccoli and cheese and 6 ounces of salmon. I'm new to this low-carb lifestyle. I didn't eat much before LC, but I find I eat even less now. I figure... as long as I'm not hungry, why bother, right? I'm pleased that I have lost 8 lbs during induction. -- Spring LC since 1/1/04 250/242/170 |

It will start holding onto all the body fat because it thinks it might not be getting enough food to sustain you. Atkins specifically says not to go more than 6 waking hours without eating. http://atkins.com/Archive/2001/12/15-325810.html Norsk |

Not hungry?
Wow! That's an awesome weight loss. Congratulations. I've been on
Atkins Induction for 2.5 weeks and have lost 5 pounds. I could care less if I ever eat again, but force myself to because I feel weak and shakey. It was all I could do to keep my head out of the toilet while fixing dinner for my family the other night. Just thinking about meat, mayo, butter, even Ranch dressing. . . makes me nauseated. The fat is not agreeing with me. I can handle eggs, a little bacon, cheese and chicken. Cucumber tastes like candy right now. I think I'm going to have to bail and switch to South Beach with less fat and a few more "good" carbs. Gretchen 190/185/140 |

Not hungry?
Thank you to everyone for their input, I really do appreciate it.
I am probably not eating all the veggies I should, but do have atleast one salad every day. Yesterday food just didn't taste right... my tuna fish seemed too fishy, my pork chop just wasn't right, but dinner was better. I am going to run to the store this morning to pick up some veggies to snack on while at work. Thank you again to everyone! Jill Michigan 1/5/04 185/174/135 |

That could be why your food doesn't taste quite right. ~Kat "I think I would like to call myself 'the girl who wanted to be God'.
