  • Allergies? Weight doesn't shift!

    Hi there
    I've been on Atkins for several weeks - 8 or 9 or so - and am feeling far better on it. Problem is, I haven't really lost any weight at all, just a little bit of water. I only have about 25 pounds to lose, but those 25 make me feel awful. My arms are especially big and I have trouble with cellulite. I've been eating eggs every single day and have just found out that I shouldn't have them as I have a food sensitivity to them. There goes breakfast! And I also used eggs in a mayo that I used just about every time I ate. My question is: has anybody else experienced a lack of weight loss that's disappeared when they've cut out the offending food? It's only been 2 days without eggs at this point so I've not noticed any difference yet. Also, I live with a vegetarian partner who doesn't like having meat around - I seem to be having a LOT of fish... it would be far easier if I could just tuck into some steak!

    Has anyone else had allergy probs? I'm wondering if the allergy caused a histamine response which has kept the weight on.

    I should add that I have been consistently in a state of ketosis - but I haven't lost any weight - hardly at all in all the time I've been on the diet. I feel like I should do the fat fast.

    I'm hoping someone may have some insights into the allergy thing - I feel that I'm puffed up with water because of histamine - although of course some of it IS fat!

    Thanks!

      I don't know if it's an allergy thing or not, but in the first two weeks you should have lost 5-10% of the weight you want to lose. I believe that's what the book says.
      If you only have 25lbs to lose then you shouldn't have lost that much in the first two weeks. You may also be stalling if you're on extended induction still.

        Post you menu in the "review my menu" forum of the board. Include everything you eat and drink, including the amounts.
