    Day one down but...I need encouragement

    I'm coming off of a very low calorie diet with about two days in between. I'm sorta scared that I'm going to gain weight and then lose what I gain from doing this diet. I'm not so sure.

    The scale was up 4-5 lbs tonight after my first day. I dunno.

    Re: Day one down but...I need encouragement

    your body is getting the nutriants it needs and will do a bit of adjusting before you shed body fat. On a very low cal diet you didn't meet your protein needs so your body will be busy restocking your damaged protein tissues and supplies. Since yiour very ow cal diet deleted your glycogen reserves you will not get the large induction loss many get but you will be dropping body fat when you do shed pounds.

    Give your atkins induction the full 14 days and then see how you are doing. make sure you take your measurements today so you can see the body fat gone on day 14 even if the scales don't validatew your changed body.

    what are you doing for your mandatory exercise part of your atkins?

        It's normal. Keep in mind you can't physically gain 5 lbs of fat in one day so don't freak. It's just water and your body adjusting. Make sure you stick to plan and get plenty of water. Give your body time to adjust to the new way of eating and everything will balance back out. It's just in shock right now, it's getting food!

          Yeah, I wouldn't even weigh during Induction (except for the initial weigh-in, of course). Just wait until the 14 days are up - I know, sounds impossible!

          Start date: 03/14/09
          Goal #1 - 260 - Met 04/12/09! Goal #4 - 230 - Met 08/03/09!
