Not eating enough???

[huggija]

I've struggled with this both times on induction. I'm not losing very quickly this week (week 1) and I wonder if I'm not eating enough. (sounds so ridiculous).

For the past three days, I've averaged around 16 carbs/day. I'm always a little afraid and trying to gain control. Can anyone give me some ideas?

Here's what I generally have:
2 hard boiled eggs & 4 strips of bacon for breakfast
Mid morning snack - 5 cheddar cheese cubes
Lunch - Tuna salad (tuna, real mayo & a little egg)
Small salad made with field greens, blue cheese, vinegar & oil
Mid afternoon snack - 5 cheddar cheese cubes
Dinner - some kind of meat (pork chop, hamburger, steak, chicken...whatever) and a veggie (broccoli, cauliflower, green beans...whatever)
After dinner - Atkins Morning Start bar (the site says they're 'legal' for induction) and are 2 net carbs.

What else can I/should I eat to not lose control and maybe supplement. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Step away from the bars! lol They stall a lot of people.

How much water are you drinking?

You don't mention any water!! You must drink a TON of water to help your body deal with the weight loss!

Sorry...forgot to add that. I'm drinking at least a gallon a day. And I walk two miles. I'll lose the bars, but still need some other ideas. Thanks in advance.

Plug in a typical menu in fitday. That will do the math of counting carbs, as well as showing you your ratios. You should be eating 65% fat, 5% carbs, 30% protein.
