14 days completed 16 lbs bye bye

[downloadbaba]

I started on 236 lbs and currently weighing 220 lbs. But last few days i am on same weight, i don't know why. Last few days i have been eating flax bread. Could that be the reason? I saw in a video that flax is allowed in induction. But also i read in some other forum that carbs listed in that is not true. Please advise.

But last few days i am on same weight, i don't know why.

Because it is absolutely normal and expected not to lose weight every single day.

Last few days i have been eating flax bread.

What flax bread?

I saw in a video that flax is allowed in induction.

So you don't have a copy of Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution (2002)?

But also i read in some other forum that carbs listed in that is not true.

I don't know what's listed on your package of flax! I'm in Europe for example, and the carbs listed on our labels are already net carbs and are accurate. If you are in the US, then the carbs listed for flax seeds on the label are not correct (it does not have 0 net carbs per serving).

You can check the USDA database to see how many carbs are in flax seeds: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/

Thanks for the response. I made the bread myself with the golden flax seed meal (whole ground). I was eating it like a bread for lunch and dinner. I checked the website you have mentioned and it shows .3 gms of carbs per teaspoon.

I missed the title of your thread. Congratulations for the 16 lbs!

How much flax meal are you consuming per day?

Re: 14 days completed 16 lbs bye bye

Wait! 0.3 net carbs per teaspoon? That is not correct.

1 teaspoon flax seeds, whole ............. 0.08 net carbs
1 teaspoon flax seeds, ground ........... 0.02 net carbs
1 tablespoon flax seeds, whole .......... 0.17 net carbs
1 tablespoon flax seeds, ground ......... 0.12 net carbs

i was consuming around 4 tablespoons per day for the last 2-3 days.

That is quite a lot of flax - on induction it is only 'legal' as prevention of constipation or supplement of fibre, and Dr Atkins suggested adding one tablespoon a day of it.

You might be overdoing it. How has your 'bathroom schedule' been? If you take too much fibre supplement it can bung you up which will add to yout body weight a bit

what i found with weight not shifting is dont weigh yourself to often once a week or maybe even once every 2 weeks,as it does get soul destroying if you think youve done good and no difference on the scales.

if your drinking loads of water it does take time to shift,i asked a bodybuilder at my gym about drinking loads of water and he told me if im drinking 5 litres of water a day it aint going to go over night! which is why dont weigh yourself to much as it is off putting but he said its just down to the water,he may be wrong but its worked for me so far, all the best with atkins
