Ok, so I have been on Atkins for about 16 days, and I like it a LOT.
I went through the intial "induction/atkins flu" my first 2 or 3 days, but after that I've been fine- not hungry all the time, eating a decent amount of calories without having to obsessively count them, no cramps at my 'time', etc. I've been exercising at the gym with weights 3 times a week for 40-50 mins and doing cardio typically 30-60 mins 4-5 times a week also.
I lost 9 lbs as of last Saturday, but I went to a graduation party and my one and only cheat was a small slice of cake and 1/2 cup of ice cream-since then, however I feel like I've been ravenously hungry non-stop (for the past 2 or 3 days), and yesterday I was falling asleep all day. Is this something anyone else went through after they passed the 14-day mark?
I also gained back 2 lbs, but I'm pretty sure that's because I've been eating more calories the past couple days. I still try to drink my 2-3L of water and get 6-7 hrs of sleep a night, and my typical eating plan is below:
Breakfast- 7ish am- 2 eggs, maybe a sausage patty
Snack- 10am- 1-2oz of cheese, maybe 4-5 grape tomatoes if needed
Lunch- 12ish pm- 2 cups romaine lettuce, 1-2oz meat, 1oz cheese, 3 tbs ranch dressing, 2 sugar-free jello cups
Snack- 3pm- either 3 slices oscar mayer roast beef, or 2 slices with 1 slice american cheese
Dinner- 6 or 7pm- It varies; usually some KFC grilled chicken, buffalo wings, or some other form of meat, sometimes with veggies, sometimes not.
[Fitday.com says my fat to protein to carb percentage ratio is usually 75:20:5]
