I started Atkins in September, lost about six pounds on induction then quit because I knew the holidays were coming and I didn't want to limit myself during them as Thanksgiving is a HUGE celebration for my family. I went through October, November and December without gaining any of that weight back. I started up again on the 1st of January and started losing weight that day.
That was... unexpected. I had expected to go through Induction Flu again and have to wait three or so days to hit ketosis. My morning weight on the the 1st was 194, by night it was 192 and the next morning I was at 190 and the morning after that 189. I know it's normal for body weight to fluctuate but not by that much. I weigh myself several times daily so I know my morning weight is always my lowest and having my weight drop so drasticaly in 24 hours really made isolating a starting weight impossible.
I only stalled during my period, dropping 3 pounds on the scale the day after, and have lost a total of 12 pounds over the first month. But this has really been a weird experience this time around.
The only thing constant is the fact that I seem to never poop. Maybe once a week I can expect a bowel movement but never what I would consider enough. There's no abdominal pain or feeling of constipation I just... don't poop. I've been considering getting one of those colon clensing regiments such as Nature's Best Acai Berry or Bromalite.
Any ideas why I went into Ketosis immediatly after three months of normal eating? Any recomendations for colon clensing? I've been taking fiber suppliment (psyllium husk fiber as recomended) since day 1, knowing what to expect from my last Atkins experience, and I can't say it's really a help in this department.
Thank you,
Niko
