Week 4 of Induction and I'm stalled help
I'm on week 4 of my induction and I seem to have just totally stalled out. I lost 15lbs in the first 2 weeks but I haven't lost a single lb since then.
Here is an example of my daily food intake:
Beverages: at least 3 sometimes up to 5: 16.9 fl oz bottles of water a day No more then 1 of these a day, somedays NONE: 1 of the crystal light premade drinks with splenda (not the packets that have aspartame, but the made up one, I cut out aspartame over a week ago all together) 1 glass of Diet Rite tangerine (no caffiene, no carbs, no calories, made with splenda for sweetner)
Breakfast: 2 Eggs (sometimes boiled sometime scrambled with a sprinkle (less then 1/2 an oz of cheese), bacon or Sausage (checked carbs on sausage, it's 0)
Lunch: cup and a half of tunasalad (has mayo, dill pickle relish (0 carbs) and boiled egg diced into it) and salad with 2 cups ish of romaine lettuce 1/8 cup medium sized tomato, 1/16 cup of onion, bacon crumbles, about an ounce of feta cheese, basil, red wine vinegear and olive oil
Dinner: 1 to 1-1/2 ground beef patties (make them myself from ground beef or ground round) few tablespoons of mayo, 1 teaspoon of mustard, and 1-2 teapoons of reduced sugar ketchup (1 carb per 2 tsps) as a dipping sauce for the meat. Veggie varies, sometimes it's a few slices of tomatoe, sometimes some broccoli/cauliflower with just butter, sometimes it's string beans. Never go over the 1cup here.
Snack: (assuming I have one) Sliced Pepperoni (sometimes regular, sometimes turkery pepperoni) and about 2 ozs of medium cheddar cheese. OR a stick or two (each stick is about 3/4 of an oz) of chipolte cheddar cheese (they have approxiameltly 1 carb each in them)
This is pretty typical of what I eat daily. I had that exact meal plan a couple of days this week, and it' hasn't varied much. Occasionally I'll get a rotisserie chicken and split it up instead of the tuna or the beef patties.
I've never been a real caffiene drinker. I'm on again off again trying to quit smoking. I quit for 7 months and picked it back up recently cause...well I'm an idiot... This has happened in the last 2 weeks, I don't know if it is effecting me, but I can promise I haven't wavered even a taste (not even a SNIFF) of the wrong foods.
Thanks for any help you guys can give. I'm REALLY having a hard time, it's getting very frustrating. I don't expect much, but 1 lb would have been nice!!!
I should add, I just came back on Atkins after being off for a year and restarted on induction.
