Looks like too little food. You should not starve yourself on atkins. It is counter productive. Find out what your BMR is and eat at least that many calories.

You are not eating 3 cups of veggies - 2 cups from the salad list (neither spinach nor cabbage are on that list so they are limited to 1 cups total cooked)

I like the losts of water.


Here are some threads in our FAQ that will help you.

What Liv said. Make sure you eat enough - going hungry doesn't help 3 cups of veggies-from the lists.

Also, check the ham for sugars (under any name) or starches. Most ham is cured with sugar.

Check this page for answers to a lot of your questions: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/77558-atkins-diet-induction-faqs.html. Make sure you are eating enough vegetables – Atkins isn’t just meat and cheese – vegetables are a huge part of your daily menu and is where most of your carbs should be coming from.

You should be drinking a minimum of 64 ounces PURE water daily - nothing added.
