    Day 12 - frustrated

    Ok I'm starting to worry - I've lost about 2 lb and finding it rather hard to not eat sweets I admit it's getting harder then it was in the beginning anyway... I've reduced the calories from 1400 to 1200 a day and added an extra 30 minutes of ciclette and 20 of Pilates... hope it works!

    I've been using carbs and kcals free sweetener so I've given up that one too.

    Any other advice for me?

    Good Morning!
    Can you post a typical day's menu and people can chime in on some tweaks for you! Are you getting your water in?

    2 lbs is a great start!!

      Breakfast
      1 boiled egg (60gr)

      Lunch
      2 hotdog sausages (2x50gr)
      50gr mayonnaise

      Snack
      1 boiled egg (60gr)

      Dinner
      50gr green salad
      1 tablespoon sunflower oil (10gr)
      1 tablespoon vinegar (10gr)
      1 mozzarella (100gr)

      (2-3 L water a day)
      TOTAL of about 47.3 proteins (~31%), 4.8 carbs (~3%) 99.2 fats (~65%).

      I know it's a pretty simple menu but I don't like to cook nor have I ever learnt to so yeah
      Before getting on Atkins my "menu" wasn't really good, something like this

      Breakfast
      nothing

      Lunch
      1 milkshake (250dl) or milk with 5-7 integral rusks (+ sometimes an apple)

      Dinner
      Mixed salad or 1 Mozzarella or 4 tomatoes or 1 fruit/chocolate yogurt

      1-1.5 L of fruit juice daily + sometimes sweets in between like lollies (about 2 a day)

        You need to add more veggies, you should be getting around 20 grams of carbs from your veggies, try integrating some into every meal if you can.

          Also, try adding more for breakfast if you are hungry, 1 broiled egg doesn't seem like too much at all!

            You are way too low on carbs and calories. Atkins is not no-carb nor is it low calorie. If you reduce your food too much your body will think it is starving and you will not lose. I believe you will have much better results if you eat more.

              I looked at your stats. You lost 0.7 kg and have 14.3 kg left. Congrats, you are on target.

              During the first 14 days of Induction, we can expect to lose 5-10% of the weight we need to lose. So in your case you have lost the 5% already. So again, you are right on track.

                I don't think the calories are enough? How many is that per day...

                Do you have the book?

                  1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
                  2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
                  3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
                  4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.

                    You need more veggies and watch out for sausages/hot dogs.

                      You need to eat some more food!! More veggies & something other that lettuce. Dr A provided us with a huge list of veggies to choose from. Eat some more protein & fat. I think you must be in starvation mode.
