Re: Calories...

There's your answer most likely:
a) cut all alcohol, until that rung in OWL
b) try cutting out the atkins bars. I find them evil IMHO

Re: Calories...

Hey Thanks,

I have cut out all alcohol as of Monday I guess I need to get away with the bars.... What do you mean when you say they are evil? What else is there I might need to look at?

Re: Calories...

Everyone I have talked to says that the atkins bars are not good for induction. if you look at the ingredients, it contains all sorts of things we aren't supposed to have. So I would cut that out. Make sure you're getting all your water too, that is so important.

Re: Calories...

Thanks so much! How long have you been on Atkins? Did you loose your first week?

Re: Calories...

this may sound strange but my struggle with eating is knowing when i'm satified...for me there is a fine line between satisfied, being full and feeling stuffed. i have to teach myself that i don't have to eat everything on my plate....seems my stomach takes a long time to signal my brain that i've had enough....so, i've decided to take it one day at a time.

You said it sista! This is my main focus right now and it's soo hard!! I'll do good, then eat too much. Do good again and the eat too much. If I could just eat til I'm satisfied EVERY time I'm sure I'd be 150!! lol (or at least I keep telling myself that)

Re: Calories...

Help! I am on day 5 and have been extremley strict! I am averaging 1800- 2000 cal a day and no more than 20 carbs. I used to drink alchohol almost daily before atkins and to be honest I thought just cutting out the beer would help me loose weight alone. But I am really shocked I have not lost a pound. I have an injury and have not been working out which I normally did right before I began on Monday, I just don't get why the scale is not moving down. Any ideas out there? One thing I have been eating up to 2 atkins bars a day with 2 carbs a piece.....

Thanks

Step away from the scale!!!
Everybody is different, give your body a few weeks to adjust. Try not focusing only on weight loss but also on over all health - the weight loss will follow, I promise!! Don't give up!!
