    Question For Fellow Adkineers....

    For the past 3 months I have had INCREDIBLE success with this diet. It has changed my life SO much for the better! I am *thankful*

    However.....

    I am no longer experiancing the benifits of ketosis such as , the dry mouth, occasional dizziness..not being hungry all the time. those were my symptoms i had when I was loosing them MOST!

    I havent lost hardly any weight this past 3 weeks OR inches!!!
    and i havent experianced dry mouth/ dizziness/appetite suppresed in the past 3 weeks either....


    ive been drinking ALOT of aspartame.....


    what do u guys think?

    Dump the Aspertame. That is not allowed on Atkins, and is famous for stalling people. Dr. Atkins also had questions on its safety. Please, stick to water and the weight will start falling again. Have you moved on to OWL yet? Have you read the book?
    What would we do without it?

      yes i have read the book cover to cover.....
      and i know aspartame causes stalls but it didnt affect my weight loss at all the first 3 months.....


      i just know that when i was loosing ALOT of weight was when i had dry mouth/bad breath and the occasional dizziness that i thought was ketosis.....
      and now i dont have that anymore, and im still eating on plan
      and not loosing...



      but i will definitly ditch the aspartame... and see if it helps : )

        Maybe post some typical menus in the 'Review my menu' forum to see if anyone can spot any stallers?

        And do move to OWL soon so you have time to climb the OWL ladder and prepare your body's eating habits for after you reach goal!

            ^^ I noticed a significant weight loss when I stopped drinking Diet Coke. Caffeine and Aspartame just simply aren't worth it If you want a soft drink that's good on induction without aspartame you should try drinking Fresca ^^ The only problem is that it's like pespsi XD goes flat too quickly
            I will lose weight, I will lose weight, I WILL LOSE WEIGHT!

                Do you eat your veggies?? I think OWL would be wonderful for you, and you still lose weight. The fact that you got dizzy worries me a bit.
                What would we do without it?

                          i am so jealous! 60lbs! that's unheard-of!

                          in any case, aspartame really did it for me... no more diet jello, it made me stall.

                          congratulations! you'll have to tell me your secret
