I can not do it

[sunrise99]

hello

Currently I have a state of despair, after having spent an entire week to follow the diet hard and, unfortunately, the result I did not lose the weight. And began to think seriously that I can not do that.

Re: I can not do it

Could you post one or two menus, with quantities and net carbs for all foods and drinks?

Did you lose inches?

How much water are you drinking?

Are you taking any medication?

What are your stats? How much weight do you have to lose?

Re: I can not do it

hide the scale.. seriously. I am back on the diet again and I am on day 6... I weighed myself day 3 (which I should have never done) and got real discouraged. You can't give up on the first week. Put the scale away and finish out induction! You can do this!!!

Do you have a copy of Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution (2002)?

What fruits do you eat?

What vegetables? You should eat vegetables every day.

Could you post one complete menu?

Re: I can not do it

Sounds like you may need the book. There is no fruit allowed during induction except a small amount of a Hass avocado should you choose.

Post a menu and everyone here will be kind enough to let you know what is not working. Also, don't reduce your calories too much because if don't eat enough your body will go into starve mode and will not allow you to lose weight. You will need to eat the proper amount of allowed vegetables. Drink lot's of water, close to 4 liters or more if you can stand that much.

It's ok to eat a generous amount of induction food and fat while following this wol.

Don't get discouraged, please. It takes time for weight to come off and depending upon how much you have to lose it could take months. Wouldn't you rather be a pound lighter than a pound heavier? And yes, the scale will lie and will jump around. I only wanted to lose upto 20 lbs and I am still losing it. No big deal, the weight will come off. The slower, the better because it will stay off the slower it comes off.

Measure your body now and jot down the inches and go back in just a couple of weeks and you will see a difference if you follow the advice of the nice folks on this board.

Best Wishes.

Hmmm. Well, first of all there is no fruit during Induction. Are you picking your veggies from the list? And what about your proteins and fats? You really need the right combination of all three for successful weight loss.

Also, if you could post your stats (gender, age, weight, etc.) it would be easier to give you more helpful information.

Hi,
Are you saying the first day fruit is the only thing you are eating, and the next day you only eat vegetables? Nothing else except water? Or did I misunderstand?

Re: I can not do it

You are not doing the Atkins diet dear. The Atkins diet works if you work it but you have to know what it is about. The book is a good source and we have some stickies to help you get started

Here are some threads in our FAQ that will help you.

Re: I can not do it

Hi Sarah,

My goodness, you must be starving yourself. No wonder you are not losing any weight. All you are eating is fruit or vegetables? Your body is in starvation mode I think. Read all of what Liv sent you in the above post. And please try to get the book. Lets change your next post soon to "I CAN DO IT".

Are you living in the US? If you are in another country and the book is hard to get, try ordering it online.


This is the book we follow here:
Dr. Atkins in Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, 2002 ed


After you read those above links, let us know if you have any questions.




Here are a few more, I think they are different from the ones Liv sent you.

Re: I can not do it

Atkins isn't a quick fix.

Re: I can not do it

Hello again, Sarah

I am just curious... what you are eating is so far off from what Atkins is, I just wonder how you thought you were doing Atkins, and not some other diet. I guess I am wondering what "doing Atkins" means to you... what did you think it meant?

The links to information that Liv provided will help you. Read them carefully, and ask any questions you may have, OK?

I also must echo what J indicated... Atkins is not meant to be a quick fix for losing weight. If you stop eating the Atkins way after losing weight, you will put the weight back on - and quickly. Just something to thing about...
