    weight loss almost stopped

    Hi,
    I'm 1 day away from completing the 2 week induction and the results were not as I expected.
    50yo male, 5'10 started at 16kg, have been excercing consistintly for over a month now, no change in routine during induction.
    Lost 4kg over the first week and only 0.4kg after that.
    My waist hasen't reduced since the end of week 1.
    My diet is strict, no foods or drinks on the banned list, none.
    Small serves of veg/salad, 10-15 grams per day max.
    Lots of bacon, eggs, cheese, fresh meat and chicken.
    Don't over eat and haven't been over hungry, I feel good.
    Drink my water quota and a couple of green teas.
    No alcohol, softdrinks, sugar, fruit, pasta or rice.
    Do I keep doing what I'm doing now or should I change something?
    My target weight is 90-100kg.
    Regards,
    Rob

    Right, first take a deep breath and pat yourself on the back for a good 'by the book' induction carried out

    Now let's take a look at your numbers.

    You hope to lose between 16 and 26 kgs in total and have lost 4.4 kgs in the 13 days so far.
    For non-kilo people that is between 35 and 57 pounds total hoped-for loss and a 13 day loss of 9.7 pounds.
    Heck, Rob, you have lost between 17% and 27% of that total loss already which puts your metabolic resistance to weightloss at 'low to average', which is great and means no need to stay on induction any longer.

    So the only thing I would suggest changing would be to start on the main weightloss phase of Atkins now and add 5 extra net carbs of induction veggies

    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!

      I agree with Eliz----you're doing great!

      There's no need to be discouraged at all.

          If after 2 weeks I can say the same thing and weigh less, I think it will be enough to keep me motivated to continue.

            Eric, I am motivated.
            Was worried about the low loss in the second week of induction but didn't need to, the weight is still coming off.
