    Atkins and female issues

    I was just curious.. i know that i am following my eating plan correctly, but i should be starting my female issue in 3 days and i was wondering if that could be causing me to not see results on the scale? Ive been doing really well! Just wasn't sure how much that issue would affect the #'s on the scale?
    Thanks!!

    You probably retained water when you were getting your period before Atkins, too. I've seen people retain as much as 10 pounds of water during that time of the month.

            Sometimes I wish Dr Atkins had been female, as I am sure there would have been more note of the effects of that special 'time of the month' than the one reference he made in DANDR
            If you start Induction before or during a menstrual period, it may take longer for weight loss to register.
            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!

              It's perfectly normal not to lose weight every day whether or not you are near TOM.

                I have gained back a lb or two, and I'm supposed to start TOM within the week. We'll see what happens!
