    female question!!

    I am a new Atkins user! I started Induction on Thursday.....weighed myself friday and lost 4 lbs.!!! Then I started my period {early} on Monday....weighed my self on tuesday and GAINED ALL 4 LBS. BACK Ihave not eaten more than 12 carbs off the acceptable list on any of these days. Could this be because I started? Otherwise loving it! thanks for all responses. dydy

    Wait out the "tide" and stick to the program, it will happen....
    You could always post a menu for people to look at it also.

      Don't forget a lot of women's weight fluctuation during TOM for various reasons: bloating is a big one. Wait it out! Stick to the program you can do it!

        Dr Atkins mentioned this problem only once in DANDR
        If you start Induction before or during a menstrual period, it may take longer for weight loss to register.
        So be reassured - a gain or temporary halt in weightloss is normal for us!
        I bet if Dr Atkins had been female there would have been a whole chapter devoted to 'TOM' (aka time of the month)
        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!

          You'll see a decline in the scale once your TOM is over. I gained a few pounds during mine as well. However, I lost them (plus more) the next week.

            TOM does horrible things to my scale as well. I'd advise you to try to steer clear of your scale at least until after your TOM. I don't go anywhere near mine during that time because if the numbers go up (and they always do) I'm not going to be happy. Congrats on that 4 pound loss

                make sure not to be eating the atkins bars or drinking the shakes. I thought they were part of the induction, but they are not.
