    Re: Atkins Bars..are they ok???

    My own rule of thumb is that if they give me the 'bathroom effect' then the sugar alcohols in them are not being processed and therefore can be discounted but if I have no effects from eating them then I need to count every pesky carb from them
    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

      The last 3 times I tried Atkins, I used the bars and did not lose weight AT ALL during induction. Induction is hard enough and not to see results is really a drag. Even this time, being true to the 2002 Induction rules, the first week I lost NOTHING. I am really struggling but do not want to give up.

        You never know - you might see a woosh next week
        Have you taken measurements? Sometimes we lose inches even if those pesky scales are not being nice to us

          I decided to try one out last week and my weight loss stopped for 3 days and went up by 800g (but I also ate bacon)..

          I am not sure what happened but I am not going to risk a gain like that again.

            My pants still fit tightly, the same way they did last week so I won't bother actually measuring myself-too depressing. I am now going to really lower the calories and force the 3 cups of veggies with virtually little dressing. I found one Walden Farms dressing at the market and will use a small amount of that and see if that helps...this NO pounds lost in 11 days makes me want to cry. I want so much to have this "lift" that I have to be at a plateau weight and it's just not happening!

              You also don't have much to lose cpb, so the weight will probably come off a lot slower.

                Do you use one of the food logging websites like www.fitday.com? Do you know what sort of ratios of fat/protein/carbs you are eating?
