    Please Help Me

    Ok Gang! Help Help HELP!!!!! This is really getting so old! We (hubby & me) are SO frustrated right now! We are not losing! We really have not lost outside of the first week we have been dieting, and we are on like week 5! We were eating carrots, but stopped that when we realized the carbs in them!

    I was trying to post a typical menu, but that is too hard to do right now!

    We are getting discouraged BIG TIME! I am ok with staying on it, but I am feeling down! I dont think I am losing inches either... my fat pants still feel tight!

    Yes I drink water! Lots and lots and lots of water! Generally about 128 ounces a day! I dont know how much DH drinks! But he says he drinks plenty as well!

    I do 3 meals a day! Generally breakfast is eggs! Then lunch is leftovers from the night before and a salad(small)! For dinner we are looking at recipes that are low carb and induction friendly... trying to stay within the recommended servings! Then I usually do not snack at night.

    I do have small amounts of coffee in my day... though I have cut back VERY MUCH! And I have 2 Coke Zero's a day! One with lunch and one with dinner!

    I know I am rambling on and on! I just want to lose again! We lost so much before... and now we are just ready to quit!

    Then I looked at the fat fast... that would never work! My husband eats food, and he would never make it on 1000 calories! I guess though if that is our only option.... its not though is it? What about taking atkins accel?

    Help

    Can you drop the coke zeros? I know soft drinks make a lot of people stall (myself included). Even try cutting down to one a day.

      Do you use something like www.fitday.com to log your foods and exercise?

      If so you can click on the 'make my journal public' button on the home page and post the url so others can see your menus without you having to type it all out here again.

      Often experienced Atkineers can spot potential stallers and help you 'tweak' your food intake if needed.
      Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
      Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

        I'd cut the coffee and cola for a week and see what happens. I know it sounds like a horrible thing to do when it's something you probably love to enjoy, but it may be the reason you're not losing.

        If after that week without, you're still stuck, then it's time to look elsewhere for answers.

        Good luck to you and hubby. It's great that you're doing this as a team

          I'll also suggest that if your breakfast is eggs only, you might want to try adding a bit of veggies then too. You need to get your 3 cups in and adding a bit at breakfast broke a stall for me long ago.

            You indicate that time does not permit you to post your menus for review. Instead, just tell us what you at for lunch and dinner today. We have lots of people who want to see you succeed.

            When you are alone in your head, you are in a bad neighborhood.

              You're doing a great job keeping up with getting enough water! It sounds like you're eating the correct type of food, but maybe the wrong portions. As previously mentionted, I urge you to take a few minutes (whenever you can squeeze it in) and post your menus. If you're doing something wrong, we can pick it out and get you back on track quickly.

              Good luck!!
